[arch-general] failed to mount root on raid1 after upgrade
by Łukasz Michalski 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hi, I am a new arch user and this is my first post on this list, so welcome everyone :-) 29th I upgraded my system using pacman -Syu and after that my system does not boot. The problem is that I have root partition on software raid1 and for some reason scripts from initramfs are not able to create /dev/md device and mount it on /new_root. I am using mdadm hook. Now during booting I need to wait for "emergency shell" and mount root partition manually this way: # mdassemble # mount /dev/md2 /new_root # exit I am using lilo as bootloader, not grub. My revelant part of mdadm.conf looks like this: ARRAY /dev/md2 metadata=0.90 UUID=bdfacff7:ab87d057:56b4b521:970a1f14 ARRAY /dev/md3 metadata=1.2 name=serenity:3 UUID=1c4f1323:dc8291ca:79423de8:04e93f2e ARRAY /dev/md1 metadata=0.90 UUID=57c89626:270d4c7b:dedbdb45:3a92e6da (md1 is swap, md2 is root, md3 is home). Hooks that I use in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block mdadm filesystems keyboard fsck" This is my lilo.conf: boot=/dev/md2 raid-extra-boot="/dev/sda,/dev/sdb" read-only lba32 prompt timeout=100 default=arch image=/boot/vmlinuz-linux label=arch root=/dev/md2 initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux.img image=/boot/vmlinuz-linux label=arch-fallback root=/dev/md2 initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img I am not sure what hooks/mdadm is supposed to do, for me it looks like it I have to add md=/dev/md2 to command line when booting? I would appreciate any help to resolve this issue. Thanks, Łukasz

[arch-general] Installing Arch Linux on pure ZFS root
by Stanislav Seletskiy 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hello, Archers! In the light of "production ready" ZoL I've tried to install Arch on pure ZFS root (without additional boot partition) and stuck in problem with GRUB2. Current version of GRUB2 is not detecting ZoL in any way ("grub-probe /" does not return zfs, but errors). In the official repo on the github I've numerous see references to patched GRUB of version 1.99 (https://launchpad.net/~zfs-native/+archive/grub) but it is ubuntu only. Does anybody install Arch on ZFS root/boot without additional partitioning? Is it even possible? Thanks! -- Stanislav Seletskiy

[arch-general] MariaDB and DBMail: do not switch from mysql
by Sergej Pupykin 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hello, it looks like mariadb has problems in "order by". Following query returns data in wrong order: SELECT l.part_key, l.part_depth, l.part_order, l.is_header, DATE_FORMAT(ph.internal_date,GET_FORMAT(DATETIME,'ISO')), data FROM dbmail_mimeparts p JOIN dbmail_partlists l ON p.id = l.part_id JOIN dbmail_physmessage ph ON ph.id = l.physmessage_id WHERE l.physmessage_id = <ID> ORDER BY l.part_key,l.part_order ASC; I've had headache with my mail server. Switching back to mysql helps.

[arch-general] file-5.14 - change in how information is read from vmlinuz?
by Oon-Ee Ng 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi, I previously used the output from `file /boot/*` on the various vmlinuz files in /boot/* to detect what kernels were installed on a machine. As of file 5.14 this no longer works[1]. I'm not sure what's changed, perhaps the magic.mgc file? When I copy the magic.mgc file from previous (5.13) version of the file package I get the 'expected' output[2]. Not sure if this is a bug or simply a change in behaviour. [1] - /boot/vmlinuz-linux: x86 boot sector [2] - /boot/vmlinuz-linux: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 3.8.5-1-ARCH (tobias@T-POWA-LX) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 29 19:18, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x3, Normal VGA

[arch-general] Permission Denied cifs mount
by Squall Lionheart 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hello, I perform pacman -Suy updates each Monday on my system and ever since the 25th, I have not been able to mount shares from a local Samba server. My mount.cifs binary has the setuid bit and the mountpoint I am trying to mount to has permissions of 770 with owner and group set to my users. I have tried mounting manually as both my user and root and get the same error. The response from attempting to mount is: # mount -t cifs //sambaserver/Music Music mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) The entries I have in /etc/fstab look like: //sambaserver/Music /mnt/sambaserver/Music cifs rw,users,guest,noauto,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0 I am able to see information regarding the shares using the smbclient -L option. The server is a Slackware server running samba-3.5.8. Local device mounting, such as usb drives and local HD devices mount fine. The samba and smbclient packages were updated from 3.6.12-2 to 3.6.13-1. Currently running Linux 3.8.4-1 and systemd 198-1. Any suggestions to get this working again would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if any additional information is needed. Thank you in advance Squall -- Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present.

[arch-general] Is makepkg completely broken in pacman 4.1 ?
by fredbezies 01 Apr '13

01 Apr '13

Hello. I just upgraded to pacman 4.1.0 this morning, and I wanted to build some packages from AUR, like qemu-git for example. But when I launch makepkg -s, I got this message : ==> ERROR: qemu-git is not available for the '@CARCH@' architecture. Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('@CARCH@'). Of course, it worked yesterday with previous makepkg. I try with pacman 4.1.0 from testing and I get : ==> ERROR: pacman is not available for the '@CARCH@' architecture. Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('@CARCH@'). ==> ERROR: install file (pacman.install) does not exist. So I reported a bug : https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/34542 Did anybody get this too ? Thanks for your answer. -- Frederic Bezies fredbezies(a)gmail.com

[arch-general] svntogit 500/missing branches
by Chris Down 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Is it just me, or is svntogit returning 500 frequently? When it does return a real page from cgit (which seems to be about 50% of the time), it is missing lots of branches and generally just displays nothing if you're looking at, say, the log for linux-lts (what I first was looking for when I encountered this). Sorry if this was already posted elsewhere, I didn't see it on -dev-public or -general.
