Also rather then hijacking this treed I just like to ask here for attention regarding a problem I strongly suspect is related to openrc-0.5.2/0.5.2-r1
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6036703.html

Thanks

sys-apps/openrc-0.5.2-r2 is in portage :wink:

Hi all.

On one server machine I recently installed I get the following error message (from memory) when the server reboots:

Looks like a possible multilib error - check how /lib, /lib64, /lib32 are defined and what the OpenRC ebuild thinks they should be.

I have a question regarding /etc/init.d/localmount, why does it uses $net_fs_list and where is this list built?

I noticed that my reiser4 partitions don't get mounted after a crash (aka. hibernate-gone-wrong), and I really would want to fix that because it's annoying logging in as root just to mount filesystems.

I think the source of the problem may lay in the fact that, within /etc/fstab, the partitions are called "reiser4," while the correct syntax for mount -at to make the partitions be mounted is "mount -at reiserfs"

However, since I don't know how the net_fs_list variable is built, I can't look for a way to fix it myself. Could it even be fixed by adding something to /etc/conf.d/localmount?

using baselayout 2.0.1

Is there a way to use RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" but to stop at specific points and do not try to start anything until a certain init script is executed?
I want to use RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP but I can't type my LUKS password if I do... So I want the init process to wait until dmcrypt is started and then keep going.

So it seems I'm using this: sys-apps/openrc-0.5.2-r2

Setting up the /etc/init.d/network was trivial for my previous needs, that being static ip.

However I'm not having much luck finding clear documentation on bridging and the tun device, and more specifically with regard to qemu-kvm usage that defines examples using the new network way of doing things.

So are any of you nice folks aware of such documentation and would be willing to provide a url pointing to it.

Thanks in advance.

With the new devtmpfs feature in Linux 2.6.32, the kernel to populates and mounts /dev with most device nodes - meaning udev is not needed so early in the boot. How can this be taken advantage of with OpenRC, so that we can get a 2-second faster bootup?

Hi,

I have questions about openRC:

- What is with /etc/modprobe.conf ? Are module parameters no longer read from that file, so that /etc/conf.d/modules is the only place for that (what would make sense:)

- What about depscan.sh ? Is there a replacement available, or does openrc automagically check for updates ?

Hi
Thanks for the info.

But now I have a major Problem after upgrading from baselayout-1 to openRC 0.5.3: my network is broken.
Its working fine locally (192.168.178.xxx) but I can't get outside.

Hi

Setting defaultroute in /etc/conf.d/network solved the problem.
This should be mentioned in the Gentoo OpenRC Migration guide.

P.S: The network is just working with only about 10 MBit but I guess thats an sky2 module problem ...

Well, you now have a new problem - you're using init.d/network AND net.eth0 (and probably net.eth0 as well)
You want to use either init.d/network + init.d/dhcpcd OR init.d/net.lo + init.d/net.eth0
Don't mix them both

Ouch - you're right

Where is a documentation for how to setup networking correctly with openrc ?

For the new style, currently none.
Not because I'm lazy, but because all my networking needs are handled by dhcpcd-5.
dhcpcd-5 has excellent documentation

I also run a server as my home router/gateway. Admittedly it runs NetBSD, but the new style network scripts are inspired by it's simple setup.
This is all documented in conf.d/network and conf.d/staticroute.
