 |
|
Hello,
I've installed baselayout2 and openrc and I'm quite satisfied with it but even though the system boots correctly there are a couple of issues left:
I don't know if these 2 symptoms are related, but anyway here they are:
1. rc-svcdir
After the boot sequence ends I still have a rc-svcdir directory mounted: what is this? Is it ok to have it there?
| Code: | nibbler ~ # mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=continue,data=ordered)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,size=10240k,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,gid=5,mode=620)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec)
rc-svcdir on /lib/rc/init.d type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,size=1024k,mode=755)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
nfsd on /proc/fs/nfs type nfsd (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) |
2, bootchart doesnt create /var/log/bootchart.tgz anymore: is it supposed to work with oprnrc+baselayout2
Thanks. |

As I understand, it keeps track of what services are started and what state they're in. It's perfectly normal.

Not sure why that's happening... It works for me.
Are you sure you have it set correctly in grub.conf?

about the lack of bootchart creation
I still don't have a bootchart created in /var/log
I *do* have the init= line in grub.conf
anyone find a fix for this?

bootchart requires to be compiled with USE="java" to generate graphics.

What fixed it for me was making sure /tmp wasn't getting wiped. Hope it works for you too. |

yes, it's working now. But it's not very pleasant watching
the details of my notebook taking 30 seconds to get to
X startup ...

I just updated to baselayout-2.
The wiki gives instructions on setting BootChart up.
I had a couple of issues to start with on baselayout-2 but sorted them fairly quickly, mainly my network disappeared and /etc/net.lo was empty, requiring me to re-install openrc - no idea what happened there.
I also had to fine-tune a couple of /etc/init.d scripts plus I also found that the baselayout-2 does not ignore ~ files (emacs backup files).
Anyway, since it appears that openrc does not support parallel startup, I have left that disabled but my system seems to boot marginally faster (around 5 seconds) but the boot up is a lot less confusing now that things start serially.
It would be nice to see in the boot chart a little more activity in the CPU and disk, it gives the impression that my machine spends a lot of it's time sitting around doing nothing, rather than getting on with the task of booting!
See my before and after BootCharts.

Well, does it lock the boot process? I'm gonna bet you it won't

I haven't seen problems, though also use depend_strict. |

Parallel works fine for me too.
