[gentoo-user] vserver: Mounting /run ... mount: permission denied [ !! ]

[gentoo-user] vserver: Mounting /run ... mount: permission denied [ !! ]

[Jarry]

Hi,

since some update (which I was not able to trace back
but I think it was either baselayout or udev) I see
this message whenever I start any of my vserver
gentoo-guests:

  OpenRC 0.9.8.4 is starting up Gentoo Linux (x86_64) [VSERVER]
  * /proc is already mounted, skipping
  * Mounting /run ...   mount: permission denied       [ !! ]
...

What does it mean and how can I fix it?

Jarry

Does the directory /run exists?

Yes, it exists. But I do not understand where it should be
mounted. Or what should be mounted in /run ...

In /run goes a tmpfs, and it gets mounted really early in the boot
process, so programs can write to it without /var being mounted
(/var/run is a bind mount of /run in modern systems).

# mount | grep /run
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
tmpfs on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)

I suppose OpenRC has a problem mounting /run on your system, but I
don't know, I use systemd.

OP.  I'm using OpenRC.  Maybe this will shed some light:

root@fireball / # mount | grep /run
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
root@fireball / #

Maybe the permissions are wrong or something.  This is the results from
ls -al:

drwxr-xr-x   4 root root     80 May 18 17:39 run

Hope that helps.
