Description Stephen Harris 2013-10-20 13:02:04 UTC
Description of problem:
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon has a chkconfig start value of 16.  This means it starts before all filesystem (eg NFS) are fully mounted.  Users storing torrents on a network filesystem will find the torrent doesn't restart on reboot because the datafiles aren't available when the daemon starts

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
transmission-2.13-1.el6

How reproducible:
Always on reboot with NFS mounted torrent store

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure an NFS disk (eg /torrents)
2. Add a torrent with with this as the target directory.  Let run to completion
3. Reboot

Actual results:
Torrent is now flagged as "missing files"; user needs to "validate torrent files" and then "start" to let it seed again.

Expected results:
Torrent should automatically seed

Additional info:
Change "start" to 98 so that transmission-daemon is restarted after all filesystems are mounted.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2020-11-05 16:46:41 UTC
This message is a reminder that EPEL 6 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for EPEL 6 on 2020-11-30. It is our policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of 'el6'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later EPEL version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before EPEL 6 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Comment 4 Ben Cotton 2020-11-30 15:57:32 UTC
EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
