bind mounts cause lots of "init: ureadahead-other main process (1234) terminated with status 4" messages

[Martin Pitt]

Binary package hint: ureadahead

During boot, I get some 25 messages

  init: ureadahead-other main process (1234) terminated with status 4

(with different pids). These seem to come from the "start on mounted" rule in /etc/init/ureadahead-other.conf when the boot process does all the bind mounts in my /etc/fstab

  $ grep bind /etc/fstab
  /home /home/dchroot/sid/home none bind 0 0
  [... 28 of those ...]

Is there a possibility to refine the upstart rule to not trigger on bind mounts?

During Ubuntu 09.10 boot, the message "init: ureadahead-other main
process (473) terminated with status 4" also appears on my system.

/etc/fstab is as follows:
     /dev/sda3 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
     /dev/sda6 /d ext3 defaults 0 2
     /dev/sda5 swap swap sw 0 0
     tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
Note /dev/sda6 is a data partition. The rest is self-explanatory.

/var/lib/ureadahead contains TWO pack files:
     "pack" (presumably for the root file system);
     "tmp.pack" (presumably for the /tmp file system).
/var/lib/ureadahead does NOT contain a pack file named "d.pack".

Ubuntu Bug 432360 contains the following text:
"ureadahead has better support for separate filesystems, when
 tracing it will generate additional pack files for each of the
 separate mounts (each one individually optimised) - and uses
 the mountall-generated 'mount' event to run over those."

How can I investigate why ureadahead generates pack files for
the root and /tmp file systems, but not for the /d file system?

I too have the mentioned boot messages.

is this resovled? my box can not boot!!!Not even single user mode!

My box is dell precision 340, I am jumping upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04 with ubuntu i686

the system hangs after a full screen of udev warnings(after I tried my method 3 in the following, before is the same as Daniel Añez Scott 's screen shot! )

my system is upto today's upstart package and ureadahead package.
I have separated /boot / /tmp on different partions as
sda1 /boot
sda2 swap
sda3 /tmp
sda5 /
sda6 /home

I tried the following, none of them work

1,change /etc/ureadahead.con and made it mount on localfilesystem
2, disable non critical partitions in /etc/fstab while only keep /boot / partitions
3 change /etc/ureadahead.conf to normal exit with status 0 and 4

@nullservice If your system can't boot, that's a separate bug which you should file. This bug is purely cosmetic.

I tried everything, but nothing I can fix this problem.
