[arch-general] LUKS on LVM example in wiki
by Fons Adriaensen 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

I've been reading the section 'LUKS on LVM' in the wiki page <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Encrypting_an_entire_system> and there's something I fail to understand. Under 'Preparing the logical volumes', there is: # lvcreate -L 500M -n tmp MyVol (which isn't shown in the ascii picture just above). Later, under 'Configuring fstab and crypttab' a tmpfs is created on the encrypted /tmp partition: dev/mapper/tmp /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 Question: as far as I've understood, a tmpfs resides in RAM, with overflow to /swap. So why is there a logical volume for /tmp ? Or put otherwise, if /tmp is to reside on disk, why use a tmpfs ? TIA, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities. (Cory Doctorow)

- Replying on arch-general as don't have access on dev-public - I might have missed something or proposed something which is not feasible due to the fact I'm not vary familiar with Archlinux infrastructure.

I can't open cpan, launch Chromium, and I'm not sure what all else is broken at this point. Can someone help me towards a solution? Thanks, Hunter

[arch-general] Cannot delete chroot directory
by Simon Doppler 08 Nov '17

Hi all, I wanted to create a new build chroot directory with mkarchroot yesterday, and mistakenly created it in the wrong place. I then interrupted the process but after it had already created some files but was not finished. (I wanted to created in ~/chroot/multlib, but wrote ~/multilib). When I tried to delete the directory (with rm -rf) but I could only delete all the files it contained. It did not work either after a reboot. This is my terminal output when I try to delete the directory [root@tollana dopsi]# LANG=en rm -rf /home/dopsi/multilib rm: cannot remove '/home/dopsi/multilib': Operation not permitted [root@tollana dopsi]# lsattr | grep multilib ------------------- ./multilib I noticed in [1] (the lock function is defined in [2]) that the directory is locked using flock, but that lock should not survive a reboot (or am I mistaken ?). Thanks for your help [1] https://git.archlinux.org/devtools.git/tree/mkarchroot.in#n66 [2] https://git.archlinux.org/devtools.git/tree/lib/common.sh#n75 -- Simon Doppler E: dopsi(a)dopsi.ch PGP: 5C3A 7347 AE06 D520 68A6 D292 9A08 963D B82F 5A19
