Bug Description

Binary package hint: ltsp-client-core

This appears to fix it in our Lucid, fat client, nfsroot, LTSP environment:

Bind mounting was moved to initramfs in Lucid:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ltsp-upstream/ltsp/ltsp-trunk/revision/1612

So if for some reason it's not working, I'm guessing that the problem would be in one of the initramfs scripts, not in ltsp-setup.

Checked /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-bottom/ltsp.

The only reference it makes to bind mounts is:

ltsp_bindmounts=/usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-bindmounts

There is no /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-bindmounts in the ltsp-client-core package. The bind_mounts () function exists instead
in /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-init-common which is sourced by /etc/init.d/ltsp-client-setup...

Ah, it's probably a packaging problem then. I don't think there's a reason to divert from Debian on this, so we could just put ltsp-bindmounts in the ltsp-client-core package.

After taking a look at the debian ltsp-bindmounts script, worked around our issue with the following in /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-bindmounts:

#!/bin/sh

. /usr/share/ltsp/ltsp-init-common
. /etc/default/ltsp-client-setup

bind_mounts

Nothing else seems to be reading /etc/default/ltsp-client-setup file. Are the old ltsp-client-setup variables expected to live in lts.conf now? If so we'll dig through the latest ltsp guide in svn to see if we can figure them out. This install was an upgrade from Jaunty->Karmic->Lucid.

Thanks.

Fix NFS booting Edit (3.7 KiB, text/plain)

Patch based on the current Ubuntu packaging in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stgraber/ltsp/ltsp.natty so that NFS booting works again.
Btw I also updated debian/copyright.
