bootchart-0.9-5.fc8 By default bootchartd mounts its tmpfs in /tmp, which is mounted over by readonly-root mode. Even if you edit /sbin/bootchartd to use /dev instead, it fails to stop collection when configured to stop if it sees a process like "Xorg". Furthermore, "/sbin/bootchartd stop" fails due to some kind of race condition. bash-32# /sbin/bootchartd stop user defined signal 1 bash-32# tar: header: file changed as we read it rm: cannot remove '/dev/bootchart.wgA342/*': No such file or directory rmdir: /dev/bootchart.wgA342: No such file or directory tar: proc_ps.log: file changed as we read it tar: proc_stat.log: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors rm: cannot remove '/dev/bootchart.wgA342/*': No such file or directory rmdir: /dev/bootchart.wgA342: No such file or directory
