I would like it if every thing in /etc/init.d/net.* would provide net to the other services. I need this to develop on my Notebook in the train or on a wlan as it seams like the default is that only net.eth0 provides net. What do i need to archive this goal?

Regards, Dominik

I ran emerge world this week on my laptop and workstation. Now both of them can't connect to the internet. The problem is that dhcp does not get a lease from my router because it times out. If I set them up for static IP, they get an IP address no problem, but they can't resolve domain names. I can ping the router with my static IP, but I can't ping www.gentoo.org. Both machines work fine when booted into Windows.

I've been over the openrc migration guide, and I've asked on the IRC channels, but no luck. Any ideas?

If you're ok with static IPs,

That was wierd. DHCPCD seem to be wiping out my /etc/hosts, and /etc/resolv.conf files. As soon as I put all of those (plus /etc/conf.d/net) back in order with a static IP, I am good to go.

Thx for the help.

Edit. Adding a route for the default gateway seemed to be required as well.

Hmmm... dhcpcd is not supposed to even touch the hosts file, only /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/ntp.conf if told to by the DHCP server. To avoid this use options -D (no resolv.conf) and -N (no ntp.conf).

is -D an option of dhcpcd-3?
it seems to do nothing with dhcpcd-4. the man-pages says -C resolv.conf, and that works.

well, -C resolv.conf works as expected.

The service timeout is a known issue and I have no idea why it happens.
I see it myself maybe once a month or so. So I acknowledge it exists, but I also have no idea about any possible fix.
My only thought on it as that it could be a bug in how tmpfs manages flocking.

Today I swapped my Inspiron 9400 hard disk with a Dell XPS M1710 (both share exactly the same hardware, except the CPU and video card) and I ran into that issue between 15 and 20 times successively -- i.e. I rebooted with Ctrl-Alt-SysReq, B as many times. This time is seems to happens systematically when my laptop is running on batteries. I'm switching to normal mode

Could someone explain what is the difference between the sysinit and boot runlevels? Is there a difference? I just noticed that in my sysinit I only have two services, "devfs, dmesg" while everything else (including devfs) is in the boot runlevel.

Also, I don't know if this was ever added, but is it possible to have cascading runlevels? (eg: if I make network a sub-level of nonetwork, things that are included in the nonetwork level will always be running when I switch to the network runlevel) This would only be handy when you switch a lot between being online/offline, and there are a lot of services in the nonetwork runlevel already (maintenance is annoying when having to keep the greater part of two runlevels sync'ed). My current solution has been to add all common services to the boot runlevel :/

Everything seems to work great for me, until I try to shutdown the system.

ichbinsisyphos · Guru Joined: 08 Dec 2006 Posts: 547

I'm having a problem for a rather long time now. It slowly starts bothering me :-)

So, I have "bin", "sbin", "lib", usr/bin", "usr/sbin", "var" in ramdisks and "usr/portage", "usr/src" as squashfs/tmpfs-aufs-unions.

I boot an initrd, from which i mount the tmpfs folders, untar stuff over, pivot-root and start the real boot process.

On shutdown I tar the folders up via local.stop and let the system otherwise go down normally.

Now my problem: On every single reboot, the root filesystem needs to be checked. It started in one of the later releases of openrc I believe. I believe initially everything worked fine, but I'm not sure.

Where could my problem be? Something can't be properly unmounted I guess?
