rc3.d really executed ?

[Kevin Steam]

Hello,

I configure my DRBL server with DRBL SSI mode and clonezilla with the box mode. I want to replace the NFS mount of /home/partimag by SSHFS.

I wanted to start some other services in the etc/rc3.d  of the client (add a automount script for my sshfs).
So I modify the tarball /tftpboot/node_root/drbl_ssi/template_etc.tgz

When I reboot the client, the modification in /etc/rc3.d are here but there is no execution

example for "rsyslog" :

# ls -ail /etc/rc3.d

[b]lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 12 mai   17:11 S12rsyslog -> ../init.d/rsyslog[/b]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 12 mai   17:11 S13rpcbind -> ../init.d/rpcbind
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 12 mai   17:11 S14nfslock -> ../init.d/nfslock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 12 mai   17:11 S22messagebus -> ../init.d/messagebus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 12 mai   17:11 S25netfs -> ../init.d/netfs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 12 mai   17:11 S26acpid -> ../init.d/acpid
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 12 mai   17:11 S26haldaemon -> ../init.d/haldaemon
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 12 mai   17:11 S27ypbind -> ../init.d/ypbind
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 12 mai   17:11 S35mkswapfile -> ../init.d/mkswapfile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 12 mai   17:11 S55sshd -> ../init.d/sshd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 12 mai   17:11 S90crond -> ../init.d/crond
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 12 mai   17:11 S98drblthincli -> ../init.d/drblthincli
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 12 mai   17:11 S99arm-wol -> ../init.d/arm-wol
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 12 mai   17:11 S99firstboot -> ../init.d/firstboot
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 12 mai   17:12 S99mountsshfs -> ../init.d/mountsshfs
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 12 mai   17:11 S99rc-local -> ../rc.local

the result is when I reboot no rsyslog in process

I have modified the original /etc/rc.local of the client to test (I add a simple line  to create a file : touch /etc/test.txt)
But when I restart the client the file test.txt is not create

my /etc/inittab is level 3

I don't understand , rc3.d is really executed ?

can you help me please ?

Hi kevin,

Which linux distribution and version are you running ? Ubuntu 10.04+ ?

It's recommended to follow this to add the service you want to startup in the client:
http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/#Setup_the_Diskless_Remote_boot_in
…
Before executing step <3a>, you can do some customized config:
…
3. If you have extra services (such as apmd and bluetooth) to be on when client boots, you can edit /opt/drbl/conf/client-extra-service, let service_extra_added="apmd bluetooth".

Thank you for your help

I followed your instruction and reinstalled DRBL. I added the rsyslog service in /opt/drbl/conf/client-extra-service. But unfortunately it doesnt work. I have the rsyslog in the rc3.d but none of the services do not seem to start.

I continue my research :)

I will rephrase my problem, what files should I change to mount /home/partimag by ssh and not nfs

[Steven Shiau]

So you want to mount sshfs and do the clonezilla job?
For Clonezilla SE, the client job is done in run level 1, not rc3. If this is what you really want, you have to modify the files in client's /etc/rc1.d/.

Oh great, everything works effectively by placing the script in the /etc/rc1.d/ directory.

thank you Steven !

[Steven Shiau]

Cool!
No problem.
Enjoy!

Steven.
