https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=278890 Summary: Hotplug does not work when /var/run is cleared on boot Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Hotplug AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tvrtko@ursulin.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Actually I mounted tmpfs over /var/run which I am not certain is a valid thing to do. When I did that, hotplug stopped working (both for usb-storage and cd media), there were some cron errors (related to pam_loginsuid I believe) and cpufreqd complained about a missing directory. FHS (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-5.13.html) says that files in /var/run must be cleared on boot but says nothing about directories. So it is not clear if they must be preserved or can be removed as well. Whatever is the case, I am submitting this for investigation. I think I saw some distro (Debian 4?) use /var/run on tmpfs and thought about trying that myself... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
