There will be a solution for separate usr in mkinitcpio in the immediate future (Dave is just waiting for me to push a new util-linux I think), so any help with testing that would be great. The patches no doubt be announced at this ML as soon as they are ready. Cheers, Tom

[arch-projects] Mounting nodev fs with "none" as source.
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hello I recently discovered an issue when _not_ using "none" as source of nodev filesystems. For example in our default fstab for /tmp as source is used "tmp". If you run "mount -a" under a directory with a "tmp" directory, /tmp will be mounted again as tmpfs with "fake source" as $PWD/tmp: # mount | grep /tmp tmp on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime) # pwd /root # mkdir tmp # mount -a # mount | grep /tmp tmp on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime) /root/tmp on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime) But if using special keyword "none" as source this does not happen. # mount | grep /tmp none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime) # pwd /root # mkdir none # mount -a # mount | grep /tmp none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime) In the past (when /etc/mtab was not linked to /proc/self/mounts) weird behaviours appears when using "none" as source, but now seems that works fine. Other ways to workaround this is using the same path as source. I think we can also change source to "none" of /dev /run /proc /dev/shm and /dev/pts, looks like more correct. (or using the same path as source). I tested using none in all nodev fs and shutdown is clean without errors. what do you think? -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

[arch-projects] [netcfg] add wireless connection aid
by Jouke Witteveen 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hi all, I wrote a wireless connection script for netcfg: https://github.com/joukewitteveen/wifi-menu/ It does a thing similar to wifi-select (available in Community), but more in the style of netcfg-menu (part of netcfg). It integrates tightly and I plan to keep the source up to date with netcfg changes. The script requires netcfg 2.7 (currently not yet released, but remy's tree has the required patch applied). I would like to see the script (wifi-menu) added to the scripts directory of netcfg, alongside netcfg-menu. The requirements are: - dialog (just like netcfg-menu) - wpa_supplicant (mandatory for wireless anyway) If this seems a good idea, I would like to ask Remy to add the script to the netcfg repository (and make a release :-) ). Regards, - Jouke P.S. netcfg is an orphaned package?!
