From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: If the system crashes hard, then when the system starts up, some services refuse to start because they have locks set in the /var/lock/subsys directory. Basically, need to mod rc.sysinit to clear that directory. Maybe you could make a directory like /etc/sysinit-clear.d that contains symbolic links to directories to be cleared at system startup. That way, rpms could install their favorite directories there to be cleaned up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.power-off running system 2.watch for subsystems that don't start OK 3. Additional info:
From rc.sysinit: for afile in /var/lock/* /var/run/*; do if [ -d "$afile" ]; then [ "`basename $afile`" != "news" -a "`basename $afile`" != "sudo" -a "`basename $afile`" != "mon" ] && rm -f $afile/* else rm -f $afile fi done Does this not work for you?
