Test 20 - "NFSv3 root=dhcp DHCP IP:path" fails on debian

[LaszloGombos]

https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/blob/master/test/TEST-20-NFS/test.sh#L152 times out in when running on a Debian container. 4 NFS subtests pass, but the 5th times out.

The same test passes on the Fedora-latest and Arch containers, so the concern seems to be distro dependent.

[LaszloGombos]

Possibly a symptom of #2259 .

CC @bdrung for his possible feedback

The rpc user is named _rpc on Debian. Debian carries a patch: https://sources.debian.org/src/dracut/059-4/debian/patches/rpc-user/

Found this in the server.log:

jobs -rp
/sbin/init: 105: jobs: Illegal option -r

Reason: This works with bash but not with dash:

$ bash -c "jobs -rp"
$ dash -c "jobs -rp"
dash: 1: jobs: Illegal option -r

[LaszloGombos]

$ bash -c "jobs -rp"
$ dash -c "jobs -rp"
dash: 1: jobs: Illegal option -r

This can be resolved with the following patch, but I do not think this is enough to make the test pass on Debian

Thanks for the pointer. I got test 20 running on Debian with the following two patches:

• fix(test): use bash for jobs -r parameter #2496
• https://sources.debian.org/src/dracut/059-4/debian/patches/rpc-user/

[bdrung]

Please reopen. We still need to include https://sources.debian.org/src/dracut/059-4/debian/patches/rpc-user/ in an upstreamable way.

Auto-closed because the "partial fix" does not work as intended.
