Comment 4 for bug 972845

No log file.

jonsmirl@terra:/etc/default$ cat tftpd-hpa
#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
OPTIONS="-l -s /tftpboot"

TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/srv/tftp"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
jonsmirl@terra:/etc/default$

Is this config file right? This machine has been in used for a number of years and has gone through many Ubuntu upgrades. There are two different directories, but it uses /srv/tftp.

The serving directory is on my main root volume.
The files in it are symlinks onto a raid volume which is mounted at boot.

jonsmirl@terra:/etc/default$ ls /srv/tftp -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 51 Apr 3 16:15 ea3131.dtb -> /home/apps/florida/lpc31xx/arch/arm/boot/ea3131.dtb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 Apr 3 16:16 uImage -> /home/apps/florida/lpc31xx/arch/arm/boot/uImage
jonsmirl@terra:/etc/default$

/dev/md2p1 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime)

It must have come up and exited..... No log file and I also greped in the log directory. System thinks it is running but it really isn't. No pid file either.

jonsmirl@terra:/etc/default$ sudo service tftpd-hpa start
start: Job is already running: tftpd-hpa
jonsmirl@terra:/etc/default$

 service --status-all
 [ ? ] tftpd-hpa

jonsmirl@terra:/etc/init.d$ sudo service tftpd-hpa stop
tftpd-hpa stop/waiting
jonsmirl@terra:/etc/init.d$ sudo service tftpd-hpa start
tftpd-hpa start/running, process 11479
jonsmirl@terra:/etc/init.d$

Maybe confusing between starting as a process vs inetd? I don't care which way it runs.
