Upon booting my system today, it decided it needed to fsck one of my
partitions, so it dropped out of the bootscreen and continued with a
text boot [1].
I noticed among the messages scrolling past, dovecot muttering something
about needing to correct permissions in /var/run. Is this related to
whatever new magick (varrun, varlock) seems to have appeared in the
filesystem?
(I've searched in /var/log but can't see the message logged anywhere.
Where might it be?)
Is this significant? I use dovecot to serve my mail via IMAP, and I have
noticed since installing dapper-beta that dovecot seems much more tetchy
than it ever did (depending on which mail client I use, some mail clients
seem to grumble about losing the IMAP connection unexpectedly (particularly
on switching between mail folders), some much more so than others, some
seem perfectly happy).
[1] On this subject, is there a way to flip back and forth between the
bootscreen and text boot mode if need be? Sometimes it is useful to
purposely see the full text of the boot messages.
