Sendsigs.omit is set for mkfs.ntfs-3g as opposed to mkfs.ntfs

[Agostino Russo]

Binary package hint: partman-auto-loop

autopartition-loop should set

if [ -d /var/run ]; then
    pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit
    pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit
fi

In fact it is probably more appropriate to set sendsigs.omit as soon as ntfs-3g is used, since, for instance, a user might get out of ubiquity before the autopartition-loop code is executed and that will create a reboot problem.

I have therefore added sendsig code to lupin: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/lupin/gutsy rev 53

Committed for (very probably) post-gutsy. Thanks.

errata corrige: there is no pidof in the initrd, I would suggest adding the following code to /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.sh

    pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit
    pidof /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g >> /var/run/sendsigs.omit

mountkernfs runs very early on, so if at that time mount.ntfs is also running, you'd want to protect the process against accidental kills.

In fact I do not see much downside in having the code straight into sendigs... Killing a filesystem is not the job of sendigs.

This bug was fixed in the package partman-auto-loop - 0ubuntu12

---------------
partman-auto-loop (0ubuntu12) hardy; urgency=low

  * Grab pids of mount.ntfs as well as mount.ntfs-3g (LP: #150822).
  * Pass basenames rather than full paths to pidof.
  * Vcs-Bzr is now an official field.
  * Account for partman library code having moved to /lib/partman/lib/.
