Hello.
I tried the idea exposed by PaulNM here to fix an inode exhaustion:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/07/msg01588.html
My implementation seems to be wrong, and I was not smart enough to
try on a
normal desktop. Plus, I had to reboot it because of a kernel version
problem
(the booted version was not the correct one, the needed virtualbox
module
was not existing).
So, when rebooting it, the computer went to the "type root password
or
control+D to continue", which made me unable to use it without a
physical
access, because it was not able to find /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng.img
(I
guess it is because it tries to mount everything at the same time,
and that
it's not sequential, so /var is still empty. I should be able to
find a
workaround for this.).
So, is there is any way to avoid being stuck in this step, to make
the
system at least try to boot? I know that it would probably imply
probably a
lot of flaws, and that it would probably be a wrong idea, but I am
curious
about that.
According to the manpage of fstab, mount, fsck et al iterate through
the
entries in /etc/fstab. It follows, therefore, that the entry for
mounting
/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng.img should be placed *after* the entry for
/var.
Systemd uses it's own logic for mounting,
Dependent mounts will initially fail, but
will resolve as the lower layers mount. There is, however, a known
bug[1] with remote filesystems but I don't think it will apply in
your
case.
A final option would be to add "noauto" to the fstab options so
that the mount is not performed at boot time. You should, however,
mount
the filesystem yourself before using it.
