[arch-general] LVM Thin Provisioning
Hello, I have been reading about Thin Provisioning in LVM and wanted to play with it however, when I try to create a thin pool it shows an error saying: # lvcreate --thinpool -L 1G vg/pool WARNING: Unrecognised segment type thin Unable to create LV with unknown segment type thin. Run `lvcreate --help' for more information. I am running version: # lvm version LVM version: 2.02.98(2) (2012-10-15) Library version: 1.02.77 (2012-10-15) Driver version: 4.23.0 and have the following targets for device mapper: # dmsetup targets snapshot-merge v1.1.0 snapshot-origin v1.7.1 snapshot v1.10.0 zero v1.0.0 striped v1.5.0 linear v1.1.0 errorv1.0.1 According to what I could find, this feature has been available since version 2.02.89 and is enabled with the compile time option of --with-thin=internal, but doesn't appear to be enabled in the Arch package.

[arch-general] community repository and old versions of updated packages
Hi ArchLinux-Team For some months now I'm using ArchLinux (i686) and I like it much. I use a local package mirror which I sometimes update using rsync. Since about 2 weeks I found out that old package versions of updated packages in the community repository not get deleted anymore. core and extra is OK. Here an example of e.g. filezilla which gets last updated on 19.11: ./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.5.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz ./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.5.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.sig ./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz ./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.sig ./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz ./ArchLinux/community/os/i686/filezilla-3.6.0.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.sig Is this known or a bug? regards Jens

However On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 2:31 PM, Jérôme Bartand moije...@gmail.com wrote: I want to bring to your attention that Gentoo is working on a udev fork called eudev that will - respect the Unix philosophy Sorry, perhaps you could explain how current udev (udev, not systemd) defies this, and why it's relevant for a small set of binaries and library which only serve to handle uevents from the kernel. Please keep in mind when writing your response that udev is still entirely useable without systemd. No, Lennart's infamous post exclaiming how standalone udev has no future is not an indication that it's going to break any time soon. - be POSIX-compliant and get rid of glibcisms Why does this matter? Do you have any concept of what POSIX defines and doesn't define? udev is a piece of software which is intimately involved with the Linux kernel, and necessarily must be, to accomplish its goals. Furthermore, the glibcisms used by udev has nearly wholly been adopted by the other popular libcs -- eglibc, uclibc, and musl. - have no unnecessary dependencies (systemd, kmod) You seem to have this backwards. systemd relies on udev, not vice versa. kmod is a real thing which solves a real problem. Going back to module-init-tools causes unsolvable regressions which were addressed by the implementation of a library which userspace has been lacking for years, and which was developed after much talk at the Linux Plumbers conference a year ago. Jon Masters and Rusty Russel both strongly support the implementation of libkmod, as do other people who are well known in low level userspace and kernel space as well. Feel free to point out why this is a bad idea. - support separate /usr Please explain why udev makes this a non-reality. A properly working separate /usr without an initramfs is a unicorn. It's been broken long before udev did whatever you think it did to break it. It's hopelessly pointless to do, and if you're still bent on it, the modern initramfs implementations support mounting a separate /usr from early userspace, and cleanly unmounting it on shutdown. Do you have any concept of what the problems associated with this are? You can't possibly, or else you wouldn't be parroting this tripe. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/2262 Maybe you should have pointed out this thread: http://gentoo.2317880.n4.nabble.com/udev-ng-Was-Summary-Council-meeting-Tuesday-13-November-2012-td252237.html Which really only points out how flawed their non-existant plan is, and how much resistance they're getting to the idea.

[arch-general] A systemd-logind shutdown issue
Hi, On all my installations with systemd I am seeing strange errors in journal/syslog on shutdown. For simplicity, I use systemctl poweroff w/o X. The error is either Nov 18 16:37:26 bluemoon login: pam_systemd(login:session): Failed to connect to system bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. or Nov 13 18:00:02 bluemoon systemd[1]: systemd-logind.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE Nov 13 18:00:02 bluemoon systemd[1]: Stopped Login Service. Nov 13 18:00:02 bluemoon systemd[1]: Unit systemd-logind.service entered failed state I can only achieve clean shutdown if all users are logged out and the power button is pressed. Somehow, if I simply stop/start systemd-logind.service it restarts cleanly. So there seems to be a race on shutdown between systemd-logind and something else (login?). I have seen similar problems on the web, but noone seems to care... Any idea how I can get more info about/debug this? TIA PS: And yes, the above error occurs independently of the value of KillUserProcesses. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The other reason I noted was less dependency on upstream decisions or breakages and this one may have been the debian list but keeping dbus off servers. The issues with a separate /usr were internal gentoo ones. Their initramfs tool is not yet capable of mounting it, and their libkmod package installed files to /usr (which has since been changed). That's also the reason they removed the libkmod and libblkid support, but since the standalone tools like modprobe still link against those libraries there was no actual change in dependencies - just a few hundred extra processes spawned at boot. Note that they're rolling back those changes now, and are just going to make them optional dependencies instead (but they will still be required, you can just fork processes instead of calling library APIs). They also dropped the goal of POSIX compatibility, and are just aiming to reduce gnu-isms instead even if it means bringing back race conditions. Gentoo is still using udev v171, and lots of the people assumed that they couldn't be using up-to-date udev versions without systemd as init. However, Arch managed to do that without any trouble, so it's another non-reason for the fork. Also, please keep in mind that this is not (yet) an official Gentoo project, it's just a project done by a Gentoo developer so he gets to use their infrastructure. It is definitely not supported by all Gentoo developers (Greg KH being one of the vocal opponents, along with several other core developers).

Earlier I couldn't get pulseaudio to stop blocking my audio for vlc and mplayer until I fixed this group membership problem. If you're logging in with systemd, your user should definitely not be in the 'audio' group and vlc/mplayer should be very much able to connect to Pulse unless you have them running as their own user.
