I'm just wondering what the plan is, if any, for getting java 8 packages into arch? -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com Calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=xenoterracide%40gmail.com&ctz=Ame…

[arch-general] ZFS, dm-crypt, and systemd
by Chris Tonkinson 10 Jul '14

10 Jul '14

Can anyone provide a reference to documentation on how to configure systemd to mount all dm-crypt devices in /etc/crypttab prior to importing ZFS pools on boot? (zfs-git, not zfs-fuse) Thanks! -Chris -- Chris Tonkinson 610.425.7807 "Lead, follow, or get out of the way." -Thomas Paine

[arch-general] misconfigured systemd dependencies
by Chris Tonkinson 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Hello, I have a LUKS drive (called "locker-1"), which is necessary to be properly mounted before ZFS can import my pool on boot. I believe systemd needs to be explicitly configured to mount dm-crypt devices before doing anything ZFS-related, but I'm relatively new to working with systemd so I'm stuck on the implementation. I believe the following is revelant configuration information: ~ $ systemctl list-units | grep "crypt\|zfs" systemd-cryptsetup(a)locker\x2d1.service loaded active exited ... zfs-import-cache.service loaded active exited ... zfs-mount.service loaded active exited ... zfs-share.service loaded active exited ... system-systemd\x2dcryptsetup.slice loaded active active ... cryptsetup.target loaded active active ... zfs.target loaded active active ... ~ $ find /usr/lib/systemd/ -name *crypt* /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-cryptsetup-generator /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup /usr/lib/systemd/system/cryptsetup.target /usr/lib/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/cryptsetup.target ~ $ find /usr/lib/systemd/ -name *zfs* /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/50-zfs.preset /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs.target /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-share.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-scan.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-mount.service Based on my limited understanding of systemd dependency resolution from [1], I created a custom file to force ZFS to depend on my LUKS device: ~ $ cat /etc/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service.d/luks.conf [Unit] Requires=systemd-cryptsetup(a)locker\x2d1.service After=systemd-cryptsetup(a)locker\x2d1.service I rebooted and no joy, though `systemd-delta` does see the override: ~ $ systemd-delta [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-SendSIGHUP.conf [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-After-systemd-user-sessions\x2eservic [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-After-systemd-logind\x2eservice.conf [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-Description.conf [EXTENDED] /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope → /run/systemd/system/session-c2.scope.d/90-Slice.conf [EXTENDED] /usr/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service → /etc/systemd/system/zfs-import-cache.service.d/luks.conf Looking back, I notice that ZFS has definitions for both importing via cache or scan, so I duplicated this override for `zfs-import-scan.service` and get the same result. Oddly (to me), the boot log shows ZFS inner workings, but nothing about dm-crypt: ~ $ journalctl -b | grep 'zed\[' Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: ZFS Event Daemon 0.6.3-1 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Processing events since eid=0 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Invoking "all-syslog.sh" eid=1 pid=726 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[727]: eid=1 class=statechange Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Finished "all-syslog.sh" eid=1 pid=726 exit=0 Jul 09 05:20:03 vigilance.thetonk.net zed[720]: Invoking "all-syslog.sh" eid=2 pid=729 ... ~ $ journalctl -b | grep 'crypt' ~ $ Any advice would be greatly appreciated. For what it's worth, this is just the first drive of six (I'm in the process of encrypting my RAID-Z2 pool in-place) so the DRYest-configuration solution is optimal but at this point I'll take what I can get. [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#Editing_provided_unit_files Cheers, -Chris PS: The only thing that sticks out at me visually at this point is that "\x2d" in places; is the inclusion of a hyphen in my LUKS device name causing problems? It seems like systemd sometimes? does magic with hyphens and paths, which is why I assume it's being encoded but I figure I would ask. -- Chris Tonkinson 610.425.7807 "Lead, follow, or get out of the way." -Thomas Paine

Because, while we're at it... I'm not very proud to add, don't use sudo while moving around /etc/group. I'm currently travelling and more or less only have this machine to work with. As I haven't memorized any systemd boot flags, some time later I finally found a way to get back up and running by setting "init=/bin/bash"... So, really, don't use sudo for /etc/{passwd,shadow,group,gshadow}. cheers! mar77i

[arch-general] archlinux samba provision error

hello Marc thanks for your help there are only the two mount points as shown in my fstab file, everything is mounted under root except for the home directory. i carried out the test on the os_requirements page to test the filesystem, the test returned outputs as shown on the page, there were no "Operation not supported" errors so i assume the kernel is configured correctly and the filesystem is mounted with the correct options.

[arch-general] Can't SSH into Arch VM until login screen is viewed
by Ben Booth 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

I have a weird issue I’m trying to figure out with Arch and SystemD, and I wonder if anyone here has run into this issue: I’m running ArchLinux as a Xen VM. Every time I reboot the system, I can no longer ping it or access it via SSH. However, if I go into the XenCenter UI and click the “Console” tab to view the VM’s login screen, all of a sudden SSH and ping works again. It’s as if systemd is waiting for the login screen to be viewed before it allows SSH to work. Is this some kind of systemd socket-activated functionality related to the getty service? How can I prevent this so that I can log in via SSH after reboot without having to run the XenCenter UI? Thanks, Ben Booth
