Debian Squeeze vzquota

  • 772

Apparently, I got Debian Squeeze (Debian 6) to work on a VPS using debootstrap and chroot as described here.
Subsequent installation of the harden, exim4, mysql-server packages failed partially.

Relevant information:

insserv: warning: script 'S10vzquota' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: warning: script is corrupt or invalid: /etc/init.d/../rc6.d/S00vzreboot

Any suggestions?

    I checked vzquota and found that it is not conform to Debian 6.0 standard (init scripts) - quite naturally, as the provider does only support 5.0 at the time.

    Before my fix:

    #!/bin/sh
start() {
    [ -e "/dev/vzfs" ] || mknod /dev/vzfs b 0 115
    rm -f /etc/mtab >/dev/null 2>&1
    echo "/dev/vzfs / reiserfs rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0" > /etc/mtab
    mnt=`grep -v " / " /proc/mounts`
    if [ $? == 0 ]; then
        echo "$mnt" >> /etc/mtab
    fi 
}
case "$1" in
  start)
        start
        ;;
  *)
    exit
esac

    I prepended the following part to /etc/init.d/vzquota (do not forget to remove the second shabang line):

    #!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:                 vzquota
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Start:             $local_fs $syslog
# Should-Stop:              $local_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:            0 1 2 3 4 5 6
# Default-Stop:
# Short-Description:        Fixed(?) vzquota init script
### END INIT INFO

    And the installations succeeded. But after a reboot to verify my changes, I found out that the original file took over again.

    Maybe someone else can suggest a more durable solution.

    Edit0: As I finally decided to file a bug report, I found this. So the workaround I suggest can be useful for people without access to the files that have to be fixed.

  2. if you can't modify the OpenVZ sh script that creates that file, you can just do something like this:

    • 1: cp /etc/init.d/vzquota /etc/init.d/vzquota.original (don't needed, but it's always useful to have backups)

    • 2: Just edit the vzquota file with nano or vi with the patch provided by benjamin and copy the modified file to /etc/init.d/vzquota.works

    • 3: Create the file /etc/init.d/vzquotafix with this content:

      #!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:                 vzquotafix
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Start:             $local_fs $syslog
# Should-Stop:              $local_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:            2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:             0 1 6
# Short-Description:        Fix for vzquota init script
### END INIT INFO
set -e
cat /etc/init.d/vzquota.works > /etc/init.d/vzquota
exit 0

    • 4: chmod 755 /etc/init.d/vzquotafix

    • 5: update-rc.d vzquotafix defaults

    At every restart, this script replaces the broken vzquota file created by OpenVZ.
