are you saying that NO service to be launched at Startup can have
any of its config, or other, data (/etc, /usr/, or anywhere else) on
any drive OTHER than the boot drive?
OK, my bad, I indeed got confused.
i need to specify *my* issue better .... sorry!
Let's clarify the thing a bit: No service mandatory to *boot* the
machine should have any of its file outsid the boot drive.
that's clear.
Now, of course, you can have supplementary daemons loading from /usr
for instance, /usr being a separate partition.
and, i suppose, as well if /usr were the *same* partition, but config files for a non-boot-required-service were on _another_ partition ...
the real issue is *how* to prevent SystemStarter trying to start up
any services until drives have finished mounting.
Understood.
Looks like you're running 10.3, and I'm still stuck to 10.2, so I
guess I won't be of any help here.
yes, i'm on 10.3.4 ...
There have been a couple of hugly hacks with 10.2 (take a look at this
forum thread for instance:
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=129), but they
weren't "clean".
Basically, the idea was to force mount the mandatory volume (if not
all, using "mount -a") in the startup scripts.
informative ... thx!
That kind of problem you're hitting is the reason why I've been
pesting alot against the autodiskmount system and decided to get a
properly sized "/" to work around the problem, so I never fought hard
to find a proper fix, shame. :P
i've fallen into the habit of keeping my <8GB ('legacy' decision ...) boot partition, _assuming_ that eventually i'll have to reinstall, and keeping it as 'virgin' as possible, with all (or as many as possible ...) my 'tweaks' farmed off to other drives/partitions for recovery's sake
I never use autodiskmount thingies on my other *NIX boxes because it's
usually a source of troubles and it deprives you from fine tuning,
IMHO. But heh, we want a user friendly system, don't we ? ;o)
:p
thanks! =)
