Re: [Xen-users] update-rc.d: warning: xencommons

[cyberhawk001@xxxxxxxxx]

IIRC xencommons is a new initscript in 4.2 (might have been backported
to later 4.1.x, not sure).

I'd have thought this would be fixed in xen-unstable by:
        changeset:   24847:0900b1c905f1
        user:        Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>
        date:        Mon Feb 20 18:58:07 2012 +0000
        summary:     tools/hotplug: remove 4 from default runlevel in xencommons

Are you running xen-unstable from before then?

Well yesterday i was running the latest revision of xen-unstable, which at that time was, i think revision 25269. I just saw today that more updates were added, current is revision 25287 i believe.

I have gotten that warning a lot before, with a lot of past revisions, even with 25219, so i have always just ignored it. But it was only with xencommons.

I have updated my local build folder with the latest from mercurial today, revision 25287 and have built xen again. After installing it, and running the 4 update-rc.d commands i get the following:

- sudo update-rc.d xencommons defaults 19 18
- update-rc.d: warning: xencommons start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 5)

- sudo update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
- update-rc.d: warning: xend start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 5)

- sudo update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20
- update-rc.d: warning: xendomains start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 5)
- insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (2 3 4 5) of script 'xendomains' overwrites defaults (2 3 5)

- sudo update-rc.d xen-watchdog defaults 22 23
- update-rc.d: warning: xen-watchdog start runlevel arguments (2 3 4 5) do not match LSB Default-Start values (2 3 5)
- insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (2 3 4 5) of script 'xen-watchdog' overwrites defaults (2 3 5)

SO, now i am getting a lot more warnings that i have ever got....lol.

Could this be because of the many times i uninstall / removed Xen, and reinstalled? Not sure if there is always something remnant that gets left behind each time you do that. At least coming from the Windows world, that usually happens all the time.

More recently Olaf fixed another bunch of similar warnings in: 
        changeset:   25295:7d3d3fece237
        user:        Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>
        date:        Fri May 04 19:38:02 2012 +0200
        summary:     tools/hotplug: remove 4 from default runlevel in init scripts

(I think the warning is a bit annoying, but it's IMHO harmless)

Ian.

Thank you for the reply Ian, i figured it was just annoying as so far i just ignored it. Granted, with the revision 25287, i am getting a lot more warnings, so again i will have to ignore it unless it is a big issue, at which time i will just revert back to revision 25269 or something like that.
