[Bug 605687] Re: mountall does everything twice

[Steve Langasek]

Hi Rob,

This is quite an unusual bug.  There have been no other reports of this
behavior from mountall, but I see from your boot log that mountall is
clearly processing all the mounts twice.  Is this reproducible for you
with more recent versions?

Title:
  mountall does everything twice

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mountall

  My system (running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit Desktop) has partitions /,
  /var, /usr, /home, /boot, /tmp, and ben1 on a 2nd disk.

  At boot, fsck is run on all partitions, and all report clean, and are
  mounted successfully.

  The boot continues happily with several processes from /etc/init.d
  starting up OK.

  Then mountall goes through the whole process again, fscking everything
  and remounting all the partitions.

  The boot continues, with comments from some processes that they're
  already running.

  I've attached my boot log pasted directly from my serial-over-lan
  (SOL) console.   I had mountall --debug in /etc/init/mountall.conf for
  this.   Without this flag a different amount (slightly fewer) of my
  boot processes get completed before the 2nd fsck commences.

  I've studied mountall.c and although I'm stumped I suspect that the
  re-fsck may be caused by the 3 (second?) boredom timer timing out.  If
  this is correct, the question becomes, why doesn't mountall exit when
  all the filesystems are mounted?

  I had a power failure recently.  I don't know if that's relevant.
  That's when and why I started looking at boot logs closely.  I have no
  idea if the system was doing this before the power failure....
