Crashplan not starting automatically after reboot

Crashplan has been working flawlessly for a while, but recently I noticed that it wont start automatically after a reboot.

This started after the I upgraded from Fedora 10 linux emulation to emulators/linux_base-c6.

I updated my sysctl.conf to include:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18

my rc.conf includes:
linux_enable="YES"
crashplan_enable="YES"

I can start crashplan manually by typing:
service crashplan start
And it runs perfectly.

But I would like it to start automatically after a reboot like it did before updating to emulators/linux_base-c6.

Thanks in advance
 
After some more digging I think I found out what the issue is.
The Crashplan log shows:
FATAL: kernel too old
When crashplan starts during the bootup sequence.

This is the same error that happens when I try and start crashplan without modyfying sysctl.conf to include:
compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18

So I think Crashplan is loading before sysctl, though I am not sure how to fix this
 
This is just a wild guess, I have no way to test if this even works as I think it does.

Try appending sysctl to the # REQUIRE: line in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/crashplan.
 
rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/* says that /etc/rc.d/sysctl is the first thing run. The other thing I can think of is /etc/rc.d/abi is what loads Linux compat when it's enabled in /etc/rc.conf. Is Crashplan after that? You can run rcorder(8) to see the order.
 
Yep, Crashplan loads after /etc/rc.d/abi.

In case it helps here is the output of # rcorder /etc/rc.d/* /usr/local/etc/rc.d/*

Thanks for the help so far.
 
tl;dr put linux_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf

As you can see from the rcorder(8) output, /etc/rc.d/sysctl is run before /etc/rc.d/abi. This means that when your /etc/sysctl.conf settings are applied, the compat.linux.osrelease MIB doesn't exist. When linux.ko is loaded later by /etc/rc.d/abi, the value is loaded with the default. The quickest solution I've found for this is to make sure that linux.ko is loaded at boot, with linux_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf. All of this assumes a GENERIC kernel, of course. Another option would be to build linux ABI support directly into your kernel.
 
Thanks. Adding linux_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf worked!

And it was nice to have a simple explanation of what the issue was.
