drbd doesn't start on boot

This is a know problem. I've noticed that couple of days ago. I'm just working on a best solution :)

What's happening is that the /etc/init.d/drbd script is having it's LSB headers parsed by the update-rc.d program. These are the LSB headers:

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: drbd
# Required-Start: $network $syslog sshd
# Required-Stop: $network $syslog sshd
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description: Control drbd resources.
### END INIT INFO

The line:

# Default-Start: 3 5

Means update-rc.d will only create start links in rc3.d and rc5.d. This is why not start link appears in rc2.d and why drbd doesn't start at boot.

It seems a simple fix would be to remove the LSB headers from this script as they are breaking the expected function of update-rc.d.

Patched. I decided to just change the start/stop lines to match the update-rc.d defaults.

Debdiff attached.

As usual, I've made the patched packages available via my company's apt repository.

Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://packages.devsuki.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main
deb-src http://packages.devsuki.com/ubuntu/ intrepid main

Grab the public signing key:

$ wget http://packages.devsuki.com/devsuki-signing-key.asc

Add it to your apt keychain:

$ sudo apt-key add devsuki-signing-key.asc

Otherwise, you can directly download the packages here:

http://packages.devsuki.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/drbd8/

This bug was fixed in the package drbd8 - 2:8.3.0-1ubuntu1

I see the fixed package is in the current development version of Ubunut (jaunty). Will a fixed package be rolled out to intrepid (or intrepid-updates or intrepid-backports)?

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

[1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

Steps 1, 2, and 3 are now in the bug description as well.

Closing this SRU based on the fact that Intrepid has reached EOL.

For your information, a similar bug was introduced in the Lucid cycle and then fixed again in Maverick.
In Lucid thhe default-start and default-sop are empty.

Dear SRU team, please would you care to push the fix to Lucid? Being an LTS, I think it's worth it.

It was fixed way before, in jaunty. It's supposed to be fixed in lucid.
