+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #187962 +++ Description of problem: When booting up the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script reports the following error: ERROR: No arguments allowed with -i ERROR: No arguments allowed with -i ERROR: No arguments allowed with -i Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.31.1-1 dmraid-1.0.0.rc9-FC5_5.2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the machine; you'll see the error just before the init.d scripts start running. My machine is: PIII-1400MHZ, 1GB RAM, 40GB HDD as /dev/hda and 120GB HDD as /dev/hdb. The machine is setup not to run RAID. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I noticed this also and added echo statements to rc.sysinit to try and narrow it down. The error message is generated by the following call (line 266 on my system): if [ -z "$dmname" ]; then /sbin/dmraid -ay --ignorelocking "$x" fi
The problem is related to -i parameter in dmraid - see bug 183959.
