Good; I have a limited way of testing it now so it is nice to know it
has worked fine to you.

 Now it has one. /var/lib/udhcp/udhcpc.leases.

 Probably worth adding/fixing for udhcpc is:
 - missing option host-name

I've added it but I can't test it right now. Please see if it works for you.

 - missing option domain-name-servers

 The other differences are probably not that relevant.

I've fixed/added them all.

 Oh, and we also need 'ntpservers' I think. I can't test that here now, but
 netcfg does (in dhcp.c):
    if ((d = fopen(NTP_SERVER_FILE, r)) != NULL) {
        char ntpservers[DHCP_OPTION_LEN + 1] = { 0 };
        fgets(ntpservers, DHCP_OPTION_LEN, d);
        fclose(d);
        unlink(NTP_SERVER_FILE);

        if (!empty_str(ntpservers)) {
            debconf_set(client, netcfg/dhcp_ntp_servers,
                        ntpservers);
        }
    }
 and the clock-setup postinst has:
    db_get netcfg/dhcp_ntp_servers

Yes; it should work fine. The script writes the content to the file
netcfg expects. I couldn't test it as well but ought to work fine.

 Also, if I run netcfg multiple times with dhcp3, I get multiple leases in
 the leases file. You seem to overwrite the existing file. Not sure if that
 needs fixing or not.

I think it is not worth. syslog now has the gotten IP each time it
runs so is easy to spot if it has been run twice.

 This is only personal opinion, but I found out that it's quite some
 time since I abandoned reiserfs in favor of mostly xfs on various
 servers at workand my own personal machines.

 So, I tend to agree with you that it could be moved to be optional.

I also agree with the proposal since I also stoped to use it.

It's only an output file. udhcp itself does not use it.

Having all leases in the file would mostly be an aid for troubleshooting.

It can't. The lease file is being written by the script and since it
is there just to be easier to check things and allow for easier
integration I think that replacing it all time works fine.

On Saturday 30 January 2010, Zachary Palmer wrote:
 I witnessed the same confusion myself; in retrospect, I should've
 mentioned it.  I simply assumed that it was a graphical glitch of some
 kind.  I was unable to set the bootable flag as well and had been
 setting the BIOS boot area flag (bios_grub) as well.  I'm not clear as
 to the semantic of that flag, but that's what I have set at the moment
 and it seems to be booting my machine correctly.  I'd be glad to provide
 more information at request, but I'm not terribly familiar with GPT, so
 I'm not sure what's relevant.  :)

OK. I'm not a gpt expert myself, but it does seem logical to me that a BIOS 
boot area cannot be used for RAID. AFAIK it's supposed to be a (small) 
separate partition reserved for use for booting the system.

Possibly the bios_grub flag should have been implemented as a use as 
option instead of a toggle. This seems to be confirmed as the changelog 
for version 71 of the relevant component has:
  * Convert BIOS GRUB boot area support to a method, thereby making it
impossible to accidentally put a filesystem on such a partition as
well, and making it simpler to preseed.
So it looks to be changed already for Squeeze.

So for now I'm going to just fix the display issue and assume that the 
disappearing RAID flag is as it should be.

Thanks for the additional info.

Cheers,
FJP

  I guess this decision is not up to me. ;-)
 No, but you can help the decision be made by demonstrating precisely how
 much of a cost there actually is by building up a customised installer
 and presenting the appropriate statistics.

 On i386, the cost would be about:

   50244 bytes for the kernel modules
  +  8224 bytes for vconfig (might be reduced by using vconfig from busybox)
  +  1000 bytes for necfg changes (this is an estimation)
  + ? for the udeb packaging (does this count? It don't end up in initrd)

 So the unpacked initrd size would be increased by ca. 60 kbytes.

The size of initrd is a problem but not really a blocker. Besides it
will be smaller then it since we could use vconfig from busybox. So it
would be like 52 Kbytes in the end.

For CD images there's no need to have it in initrd since it could be
loaded from the CD. For network installs yes, this could be needed.

 But cost is not the only criteria, I think. Benefit is another one. Install
 over vlan is not exactly a common use case. Up to now, I've seen only 5
 people showing interest into this topic at all: Luca, Philipp, Robert,
 Ferenc and me. This is probably not _that_ mass of request that would
 justify _any_ cost?

 Given the initrd increase, I think we should drop the idea about integration
 into d-i. I don't know about the other four people, but I build customized
 install CDs anyway, and I have integrated vlan-install already into them
 (though the integration is not as clean yet as it should be for d-i)

Personally I use vlan here in the company for choosing between the
various networks we have for development but most of time those are
used using virtual machines and then I use scripts to put the virtual
interface on it before loading the VM.

It would be nice to have d-i supporting it; just a matter of how do
that now IMO.

Re: [RFC] Degrading reiserfs to optional filesystem?

2010-01-31 Thread Frans Pop
(Please reply to the d-boot list.)

Hello Felix,

On Saturday 30 January 2010, Frans Pop wrote:
 What do people think of degrading reiserfs support to optional, i.e.
 only usable by specifically selecting partman-reiserfs in anna?

 The rationale would be that its popularity has decreased (AFAIK),
 upstream development is not very active and that more (and better?)
 alternatives are available now than there used to be when reiserfs was
 quite popular.

 IMO its relevance for new installs for Squeeze could be minor.

We're considering to make support for reiserfs optional in Debian Installer 
for Squeeze. In the D-I team there seems to be consensus for that.
Main reason is to reduce the memory footprint for standard installs which 
has increased amongst others because support for other filesystems (ext4, 
and possibly also btrfs) has been added.

As mentioned above, reiserfs would still be supported, but only if the user 
explicitly selects it. The only change needed is lowering the priority of 
udebs, which I'd take care of.

Comments?

Cheers,
FJP

Looks better now. There a few last minor issues.

dhcp3 gives:

udhcpc gives:

I.e, multiple IP addresses should be comma-separated. This also goes for 
ntp-servers, which probably should not have quotes as it's similar to dns.

I've also tested ntp-servers now. Works correctly.

 the rules file. We have a few examples how to do that, for example
 clock-setup.

Did it.

 Note that dhcp3-client-udeb is currently also included from the pkg-lists
 files.

I was planning to do that change later but since netcfg doesn't have
changes planned until this release and 1.51 has it included I did it
now.

Should work fine :-)

Re: netcfg: using udhcpc to get dhcp lease fails

 Looks better now. There a few last minor issues.

 dhcp3 gives:
  option domain-name-servers 10.19.66.2,10.19.66.1;
 udhcpc gives:
  option domain-name-servers 10.19.66.2 10.19.66.1;


 I.e, multiple IP addresses should be comma-separated. This also goes for
 ntp-servers, which probably should not have quotes as it's similar to dns.

 I've also tested ntp-servers now. Works correctly.

Fixed both issues; I can't test it now so if you have time do a last check.

Thanks a lot.

This is not going to work in busybox shell:
   option domain-name-servers ${dns/ /,};

# test=a b c
# echo ${test/ /,}
/bin/sh: syntax error: bad substitution

Suggest you use a function, something like:
comma_separate() {
echo $1 | sed s/ /,/g
}

and then use:
   option domain-name-servers $(comma_separate $dns);

And the same substitution should be made for ntp servers, which can also 
have multiple values.

Wonderful!

Please let us know when it appears in an ISO we can test!

PS:  If you can describe it in terms I can understand, for future  
reference, what was the bug?

Re: [RFC] Degrading reiserfs to optional filesystem?

2010-01-31 Thread Christian PERRIER
Quoting Christian PERRIER (bubu...@debian.org):

 This is only personal opinion, but I found out that it's quite some
 time since I abandoned reiserfs in favor of mostly xfs on various
 servers at workand my own personal machines.
 
 So, I tend to agree with you that it could be moved to be optional.

I had a very brief talk on IRC with Josselin Mouette (actually, not a
real talk: a few sentences spread out over the entire Sunday on
#debian-devel-fr).

Joss objected something like what are you guys proposing as
alternatives to reiserfs for laptops. Ext4?

His rationale was that ext3 is annoying with its extra-long fsck
operations and xfs is too sensitive to brutal power failures.

My only objection to this is my personal experience with XFS (which is
a little bit small). I personnally never experienced problems with
brutal power outages, even though I recently had numerous occasions to
try this (X hanging while I was off network, with power on/off as
only option).

So, well, I answered Joss that, yes, ext4 will be available in D-I as
an option so that might answer his concerns. But, still, I felt the
duty to mention his concerns.

Josselin CC'ed as he's not subscribed to -boot.
