[arch-projects] [initscripts][netcfg] deprecating advanced network functionality from initscripts
by Tom Gundersen 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi, Has there been a deciscion yet on the new netcfg maintainer? Most of the open initscripts bugs have to do with our network handling, and in my opinion most are outside the scope of initscripts. I would like to solve this by explicitly not supporting more than the most basic setups (if that), and suggesting people to move to netcfg, networkmanager, wicd or something else. However, I'd like to coordinate this with the netcfg maintainer(s), so we can make sure that no one is left out in the cold by any changes we make. Here are some suggestions of what we can do (by order of preference), feedback appreciated: 1) Make sure netcfg support all the usecases that initscripts does, add netcfg to base and remove all network support from initscripts; 2) Similarly, but keep support for one wired interface configured statically (each supported option listed explicitly) or via dhcp (just enough to support a rescue/install scenario); or 3) Something less extreme based on uscases that I have not thought of... Thoughts? -t

[arch-projects] [initscrupts][RFC] umount tmpfs and ramfs on shutdown
by Tom Gundersen 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Hi guys, On shutdown we unmount/remount most filesystems. However, we make exception fro the "api" filesystems as they might still be useful and they are anyway not backed by a block device. The problem is that umount does not easily let us make exception based on mountpoints, but we have to use mounttype instead. For /sys and /proc this is ok, but /dev might be tmpfs, so we have until now avoided unmounting any tmpfs filesystems. This might be a problem if a tmpfs system is a submount of a blockdevice, as this will block the unmounting of the parent device. The attached patch (originally by Gerardo) fixes this problem when /dev is mounted as devtmpfs and keeps the old behavior if /dev is tmpfs. I made some adjustments, as noted in the commit message (Gerardo, please let me know if this looks ok with you). If someone knows of any reason not to unmount tmpfs or ramfs on shutdown, please speak up. Cheers, Tom PS Our kill and unmount logic is very fragile, and could do with a refactor, but that is a project for another day... >From d6650a257eac676b70fe2de9a679b6f223ea2673 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386(a)yahoo.com.ar> Date: Sun, 4 Jul 2010 17:16:35 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] umount tmpfs on shutdown if devtmpfs is used This fixes FS#19783.

[arch-projects] [initscripts][PATCH 0/3] Minor cleanup to rc and disabling udevadm settle
by Dave Reisner 24 Apr '11

24 Apr '11

This is mostly for the first patch, which allows setting UDEV_TIMEOUT=0 to prevent 'udevadm settle' from being called. Looking back historically, this seems to cause a lot of grief with a lot of hardware. Googling turns up things such as... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/387086 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585527 http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/12/538 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117481 So, we're looking at both recent and less recent. Moreover, most people won't miss this if its disabled, as it's really just acting as a barrier for coldplug events to complete processing. As long as it's optional and documented, I think this is a reasonable thing to do. d diffstat: rc | 15 +++++++++------ rc.conf | 3 ++- rc.sysinit | 4 ++-- 3 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)

This would be the final step in fixing FS#18157. With /run/lock created early in boot it would be possible for tools like mdadm and lvm2 to use this directory for their locking, and maybe avoid the --sysinit parameter. This would have to be implemented in the respective packages though. Finally, /run/lock is created 1777 just like /var/lock is now. For the future, it might make sense to follow systemd's lead and make it 0755, and then create a subdir /run/lock/lockdev owned by root:lock with permissions 0755.

The logfile contains all the control (color) characters from boot, so some post processing is in order before the log can be read in a nice format (e.g. less should be able to show this nicely in raw mode). Start bootlogd as soon as the required /dev/pts is mounted. When boot is finished (either at the end of rc.multi or rc.single) create the required lof file (/var/log/boot) if it does not exist. This causes bootlogd to flush the log to disk. Finally, send SIGTERM to bootlogd and clean up after it.

This brings /dev/{pts,shm} into line with how we handle /dev, /proc, /sys and /run. With this patch /dev/{pts,shm} can (and probably should) be removed from the default fstab file, and fstab should only contain entries for the mountpoints the user has specified during install, like /boot, /home and /var. It will now be possible to boot a working system with an empty fstab. If /dev/{pts,shm} is in fstab the mountoptions there will take precedenc over the standard ones.
