Title: /var/run/booting no such file
Post by: eponymous on July 22, 2025, 02:52:02 PM

I get this in the startup log on 25.1.12:

chown /var/run/booting .. no such file or directory
I'm on an SG-2440 and this is new since updating to 25.1.12

Anything to be concerned about?

And with this, I'm confused even more! https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/5841

Nice catch, thanks. I remember thinking about conditionally setting it here, but eventually forgot during a relatively wild testing phase for 25.7 which led to 25.1.12 ;)

I'm glad I could help!

Just to check: this isn't a critical problem and I'm good to continue as is? I didn't understand the full impact of this file being missing.

The 7209fe0 commit - will that make it into tomorrow's release?

Cheers.

No, won't be before 25.7.1, but it's purely cosmetic: the late boot creates /var/run/booting, but the permission fix is used earlier once (and not just for that file) and also every time the web GUI reloads when the file is known to exist. This is to ensure correct permissions for the upcoming privilege separation.

Cheers,
Franco
