I created a new kvm VM this morning which uses LVM, so I'll test all the combinations later tonight. In a kvm VM, I do see some errors from udev at startup: These are unrelated and harmless (the errors are old, only the message is new). Why does /run should not be noexec? If /run/shm is also on /run (not a separate mount), it needs to be executable. Why do we need it executable? From what I've read from past initscripts and other bug reports, it's required for mmapping shared memory with PROT_EXEC, but I have not verified this by writing a testcase. Marco, have you tested this upgrade path? That is /run in the initramfs and no /run on the rootfs? Is udev checking for that and No, but if the database is not copied to the initramfs then LVM will be annoyed. Which database is this? Is this something that the LVM scripts need updating to handle? It is /dev/.udev/ or /run/udev/. I do not know exactly how LVM interacts with it, just that it must be preserved. OK. I feel that doing something like this: if [ -d /run ] [ ! -d /root/run ]; then mv /run/udev /dev/.udev (or mv /run/udev /root/dev/.udev) fi at the point where we mount --move in the initramfs would be the best action to take. It preserves the udev state from the initramfs when it would otherwise be lost. In the case where /run also exists on the rootfs, no action needs taking. When I do the testing in my new VM, I'll test this type of change as well. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

Testing with initramfs-tools (maks/run) with current unstable shows udev appearing to work correctly with it using /dev/.udev when /run is not present on the host system. And also with /run present on the host system in addition. In the former case, it uses /run in the initramfs and moved it to /dev/.udev on the host. In the latter it uses /run in the initramfs and on the host as well. So from the udev side, it does appear to be working correctly in all cases. So from this POV, the maks/run branch is working just fine. In a kvm VM, I do see some errors from udev at startup: -- Loading Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 ... Loading initial ramdisk ...

However, I see the above without any changes to initramfs-tools or initscripts, and this doesn't changes with /run present in the initramfs or both the initramfs and rootfs, so it's a separate issue, and so far specific to the VM image.

Note that the nodev option was removed, because it's currently required on some systems by /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh (it uses mknod /dev/rootdev to get a device node to mount /root). I hope that we can remove this at some point, but for now mounting /run with nodev will cause some systems to break. It also mounts with noexec, since this is potentially needed for some uses of /dev/shm. Again, I hope we can remove it, but it will need testing whether or not exec perms are needed to map with PROT_EXEC on current kernels. WRT these mount options, I aim to get initscripts to remount /run with options from /etc/fstab or /etc/default/tmpfs which will allow the system to be configured to use more restrictive mount options after boot, should the admin choose. And, depending upon the configuration, we may be able to automatically determine if stricter permissions are possible (e.g. /run/shm is a separate mount, so noexec is safe to use). So this patch uses the options we know are safe, and initscripts can tighten them up later, if possible. This remounting with user-specified options will apply to all filesystems mounted in mountkernfs/mountdevsubfs. Regards, Roger -- .''`.

Bug#621803: Add support for /run directory
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.98.8+45+g08fbe1e-1 Severity: normal User: rle...@debian.org Usertags: run-transition Hi maks, we already talked about this and you already started implementing /run support in initramfs-tools [1], so this is merely a bug to keep track of this transition [2]. I also did a quick check of all packages installing initramfs-hooks: scripts/live: ( mkdir -p /dev/.initramfs/varrun scripts/live: pidof unionfs-fuse /dev/.initramfs/varrun/sendsigs.omit || true ) scripts/local-top/cryptroot:elif [ -p /dev/.initramfs/usplash_outfifo ] [ -x /sbin/usplash_write ]; then live-boot-initramfs-tools: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live cryptsetup: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot This means we should update those two packages, too. cryptsetup should drop the usplash code completely and live-boot-initramfs-tools needs a separate bug report to use /run.
