Seems that the netfs init script does not return [ OK ] if it is "stopped" if no filesystem are required to be unmounted, however it does return [ OK ] if it is "started" with no valid file systems. eg [root@tornado init.d]# /etc/init.d/netfs start Mounting other filesystems: [ OK ] [root@tornado init.d]# /etc/init.d/netfs stop [root@tornado init.d]# This is with initscripts-8.04-1. Granted, is a minor bug but hopefully would also be very simple to fix.
Actually, it should just not do anything in the first case.
For the record of this report and future reference - what are the 'rules' as to whether a script should return a status of OK - is it ever acceptable for a script to simply return nothing regardless of success and/or failure?
I should double check what LSB says, but in the case where it has absolutely nothing to do, I don't see a problem with silently exiting.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.)
