Bug#621027: Invalid shell option in start-statd
 

Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.2.3-1
Severity: important

% head -n1 =start-statd
#!/bin/sh -p
% /bin/sh -p -c true
/bin/sh: Illegal option -p
% ls -l =sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 17. Dez 18:49 /bin/sh -> dash

The option -p is not a valid option for dash, that's the default for sh.

Bye, Jörg.

Bug#621027: Invalid shell option in start-statd
 

Hello,

updating to version 1.2.3 of nfs-common froze my system and made it
unbootable (the boot sequence blocked on statd). It still booted in rescue
mode, where I could downgrade nfs-common to 1.2.2 and the system works
again.


I don't know if the problem is the same as the one reported here (didn't
see the report before downgrading so I didn't test removing '-p'), but if
so the severity should be critical.

The problem is definitely not related as start-statd is not used in the
init scripts.

Do you have rpcbind installed? Do you still have issues with the latest
upload (1:1.2.3-2)?

Cheers

Luk

Ah, ok, sorry for posting in an unrelated bug then.

No, I appear to have portmap instead. I'll test the new upload (and thus
the switch to rpcbind) when I get back (about 10 days) as I want to be
nearby when I try it.


Thanks for the answer,

This script is only used if statd is not started (e.g. because we didn't
set correct dependencies!). If statd is not started then the admin may
not want it to be started automatically. I think we should remove it.

It seems to be working fine, thank you.
