Bug#677097: mountall-bootclean.sh nukes udev's data in /run

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-27
Severity: important
Usertags: serious

mountall-bootclean.sh removes files from /run, but these may include
files created by init scripts earlier in the same boot process. I
observed this because the script nuked files in /run/udev/, leaving my X
server without any input devices.

(In case you have trouble reproducing this, adding an artifical sleep of
a few seconds to mountall-bootclean.sh should ease triggering the
problem.)


Debian Release: wheezy/sid
APT prefers unstable
APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (x86_64)
Foreign Architectures: amd64

Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

Versions of packages initscripts depends on:
ii coreutils 8.13-3.2
ii debianutils 4.3.1
ii libc6 2.13-33
ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian6
ii mount 2.20.1-5
ii sysv-rc 2.88dsf-27
ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-27

Versions of packages initscripts recommends:

This is definitely with -27? All init scripts are current, with no
versions from earlier releases being held back?

This was supposed to have been fixed in -24, in commit 32d0678.
Did you have a /run/.clean flagfile created prior to
mountall-bootclean running?

I'll try reproducing with the sleep (might be later in the week; I'm
about to set off to a conference).


Thanks,
Roger

Yes.

No, and /run/.tmpfs didn't exist either.

As far as I can see, it's because /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh removed the
flag files before mountall-bootclean.sh was run.
