Is there still a way to statically link libraries where the recent change to remove the .a files has been completed?

[arch-general] Replacing journal completely with syslog-ng
by Dimitris Zervas 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

I have to say that I really hate journalctl. But apart from that, I need syslog. Journalctl requires too much resources (I have a 512MB KVM) and some times it kicks the server out of memory. Also, there is nearly no way to parse its logs with any log analyzers, you have to do it the hackish way with "journalctl -o export" which is very heavyweight and requires a whole shell process to do so. I just want to completely disable journalctl and use syslog-ng like the good old days. Any help on how to do that? I did my h/w (googled it) but I got no helpful results... Any help appreciated! :)

[Inspired by tomd123@bbs.archlinux.org](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134622), I have wrote a small script to deploy the dotfiles acrossing viarous hosts, may be you guys are interested to have a look. Github: https://github.com/techlivezheng/dotploy Thoughts and advices are very welcome, cause my bash skills are still need much improving, there must be some ugly workaround.

[arch-general] Kernel freeze on boot with kernel 3.10.x
by Nils Becker 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Hello everyone, since kernel version >3.9.x (e.g. 3.10.3, 3.10.10) my system freezes during the boot. I was hoping for a fix to appear in later versions of 3.10. but as this was not the case, I am in dire need of help to debug this problem as currently I am not even getting any logs from the crash. Problem: After grub is loaded the system loads the initial ram disk and I am prompted to enter the password for my root partition. After that the system starts normally (systemd messages) and freezes at some point. The last message printed differs a little bit between boots, but it is roughly about "Mounted Config File System". The freeze is apparently a complete crash: I started a systemd rescue console on tty9 (which startup is printed out) but I cannot switch in that console after the freeze (no response on key events). Apparently the logs are not yet written to the harddisk as I can not find any entries on that boot if I startup another kernel. I would be grateful for any pointers on this issue and/or some suggestions how I can at least get a useful log from the crash to open a bug report. I am using the standard arch linux packages (at least where the bootup is involved). My system is using a raid1 with encrypted root partition. And yes, it works flawlessly if I downgrade the linux package to <3.10.x. My hardware configuration (hwinfo output) can be found under: www.ncbecker.de/pc/hwinfo I ran hwinfo with the lts-kernel. Cheers Nils

[arch-general] LVM + mdadm no longer works on boot
by Sean Greenslade 22 Oct '13

22 Oct '13

Hi, all. I'm running a small fileserver that has three SATA drives set up in RAID5 via mdadm. That RAID holds one LVM pv which is split up into several logical volumes. This setup has worked fine in the past, but with the lastest system update my LVM partitions are not getting discovered correctly, leading to the boot hanging until I manually run "vgchange -ay". After that, the boot proceeds as normal. It would appear that the latest lvm2 package is what causes the issue. Downgrading to 2.02.100-1 boots fine, whereas 2.02.103-1 hangs. So how exactly should I proceed from here? I'm trying to understand how systemd makes it all work together, but I'm rather confused by it all. Thanks, --Sean Greenslade
