Reboot problem...

[FakeDave]

OK, thanx for the information.
I wonder why this happened all of a sudden, after working properly for 2 months?
I also wonder why I have not found more people with the issue (in case I have the same, still to confirm)?
I try to do that today, I miss it very much

[FakeDave]

So I tried:

removed /etc/rc.local but not the 2 others that where 'optional' but I don't know on what it's based.
created optware.sh & made it executable
but when I go to /opt/etc/init.d, it's empty, I don't have any Sxx script

Would you please help with what's next?

Thank you

Sxx files are used to load daemon if that optware app need to run when the system is started. So if a particular optware app, such as nano, does not have to be run in the background, it won't generate Sxx in that folder. That's probably the reason that not all people have reboot problem after optware apps are installed. In my case, it is caused by Asterisk.

Next, are you sure your reboot issue is caused by Optware apps? I am not expert of optware and linux, as you see, other people like maxxfi, Goetz, etc. helped to generate the solution. If you read the whole thread, you could know the cause of the problem, and why and how of the solution. Then you could check if yours is the same of this one. I had this problem since the initial release of 3.0. To verify that, do not let optware run at all or remove optware, if the reboot problem is caused by optware, now the system should reboot successfully.

yes, I've read the whole thread and I thought it was the same problem.
What I understood was that the original problem was a hang up during shutdown. That's also what I experience.
But since I don't have any Sxxx file and based on your email, I now assume that my problem is different.

Can someone tell me what for is the file /etc/rc.local ?

I'll try to investigate further then ...

Hi,
please provide

Code: Select all

mount
ls -la /

Can someone tell me what for is the file /etc/rc.local ?

I'll try to investigate further then ...

In the /etc/rc file, after loading kernel modules, etc. etc. there are these lines:

Code: Select all

if [ -r /etc/rc.local ]; then
        echo -n 'Starting local daemons:'
        sh /etc/rc.local
        echo '.'
fi

So if you have some custom service to run at boot, rc.local is the place that Synology has reserved to use
(the file is not wiped out by a f/w upgrade)
In fact, if you e.g. have optware installed and activated, in the rc.local you can find these lines:

Code: Select all

# Optware setup
[ -x /etc/rc.optware ] && /etc/rc.optware start


Which are a call to run the specific optware startup scripts.

Hello goetz,

thanx for looking at my issue

Let me know if this is what you look for:

Code: Select all

mount
/dev/root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,barrier=0,journal_checksum,data=ordered)
/tmp on /tmp type tmpfs (0)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (gid=4,mode=620)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (0)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (0)
/dev/vg1/lv on /volume1 type ext4 (usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,synoacl)
/dev/md3 on /volume2 type ext4 (usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,synoacl)
/volume1/@optware on /opt type bind (bind)
/dev/sdk1 on /volumeUSB1/usbshare type fuseblk (rw,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)

Is that what you requested ? Anything, please ask

Hello maxxfi,

Thanx for your explanation. Little by little it'll all get together I guess (any book I could get that would walk me thru that stuff?)

here's the content of my rc.local file that I had just renamed:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# Optware setup
[ -x /etc/rc.optware ] && /etc/rc.optware start

exit 0


Here's my /etc/rc.optware

Code: Select all

#! /bin/sh

if test -z "${REAL_OPT_DIR}"; then
# next line to be replaced according to OPTWARE_TARGET
REAL_OPT_DIR=/volume1/@optware
fi

case "$1" in
    start)
        echo "Starting Optware."
        if test -n "${REAL_OPT_DIR}"; then
            if ! grep ' /opt ' /proc/mounts >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
                mkdir -p /opt
                mount -o bind ${REAL_OPT_DIR} /opt
            fi
        fi
        [ -x /opt/etc/rc.optware ] && /opt/etc/rc.optware
    ;;
    reconfig)
        true
    ;;
    stop)
        echo "Shutting down Optware."
        true
    ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|reconfig}"
        exit 1
esac

exit 0


and finally /opt/etc/rc.optware

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

# Start all init scripts in /opt/etc/init.d
# executing them in numerical order.
#
for i in /opt/etc/init.d/S??* ;do

        # Ignore dangling symlinks (if any).
        [ ! -f "$i" ] && continue

        case "$i" in
           *.sh)
                # Source shell script for speed.
                (
                        trap - INT QUIT TSTP
                        set start
                        . $i
                )
                ;;
           *)
                # No sh extension, so fork subprocess.
                $i start
                ;;
        esac
done


I guess it's all normal, I put it just in case as I don't understand anything there ...
