Actually, it doesn't. But lets not discuss naming conventions. A lot of tools 
have ones where I fail to see the logic.
It's a shame that option is not easily findable. And not knowing it exists, 
means checking man-pages and googling for them doesn't happen either.

True, except with OpenRC, all the config is located together. Not mostly in /
usr/ somewhere with overrides in /etc/...
I dislike all tools that split their config in this way.

> So it's actually not an argument for why you'd dislike systemd. ;-)

The lack of easily findable documentation on how to stop a service from 
starting, even as a dependency, is a reason. (not singularly against systemd).
Systemd, however, has an alternative.

Well, I think you're falling the pitfall expecting "disable" makes a unit 
unstartable. That is not the case. Disabling a unit only removes it from 
the list of units starting on your own intent. It can still be pulled it 
as a (required) dependency.

If you really want it never being started, you need to mask the unit. 
It's then no longer visible to the dependency resolver as if it were not 
installed at all.

The verbs disable and enable are arguably a bit misleading, while the 
verbs mask and unmask are not really obvious. But if you think of it, it 
actually makes sense. If you "rc-update del" a service, you wouldn't 
prevent it from being started neither, just because OpenRC is still able 
to pull it in as a dependency.

So it's actually not an argument for why you'd dislike systemd. ;-)

I don't mind per se, but whether I'm inclined to do so depends on the attitude 
of who's asking.  If I'm asked politely the way you did then I don't mind at 
all, in fact it can be quite pleasant :) (and it also serves to refresh my 
memory).

Before I begin, to avoid making this sound all rainbows and glitter, I will 
mention one thing that annoys me about systemd:  regressions.  None of them 
have been horrible, and I think I was only ever hit by 2 or 3 over the course 
of by now several years, but they're still annoying.  The one I'm currently 
waiting on is the systemd-run bug when both cgroup V1 and V2 trees are mounted. 
 I could work around it (by deactivating cgroup V2 support or some such), but I 
don't miss systemd-run so much that I could be bothered to.  Regardless, I wish 
upstream would handle them better.

Also, this is just my perspective as a hobbyist (although I've used systemd in 
a professional context).  I could recommend some presentations that provide a 
different perspective (e.g., by a company that uses systemd in IP cameras, 
where the cgroups based resource management features of systemd came in very 
handy).  There's also a presentation by Klaus Knopper of Knoppix fame that is 
overall more negative, but still mostly fair -- though IMHO not completely -- 
and as I recall one of the better criticisms I've seen.  His perspective is 
that of somebody trying to provide a Linux OS for computers destined for poorer 
countries, where he has to deal with less capable hardware (i.e., no SSDs, 
booting from CD/DVD).

(Also also, sorry in advance for the wall of text, this kind of, uh, spun out 
of control.  Sorry also to Ian and Peter for continuing to feed the monster 
thread ;-) .)

Alright, so here's what I can think of now, starting off with what I listed 
above and then continuing with anything else I can remember.  This includes 
more or less verbose descriptions of what the features bring to the table, 
including specifically how they help *me*.

1.) Socket activation sounds like a detail, but it has several positive side 
effects.  It can make dependency specifications unnecessary, thus making unit 
files simpler, and it increases the number of services that can start in 
parallel.  It also enables on-demand services á la (x)inetd, only generalised 
for all system services (I use SSH this way by only enabling the socket unit).  
You can't use systemd without using this feature, something's bound to use it.

This is the main reason systemd can boot so fast (on flash storage, at least).  
That may not be important to some people, but it is to me (and embedded 
projects).

2.) Autofs integration via automount units allows dynamic mounting (and 
optionally unmounting) of file systems, which I use on my desktop to 
asynchronously mount my data dump (a 2x1TB btrfs RAID1).  To be honest, I 
mostly did this to speed up boot time (I think I mention timings in the Email 
thread I referenced), but it also makes boot-up finish independent of mount 
failures.  On my home server (an old Mac Mini) I use it for a USB drive for the 
same reasons (although boot time isn't so important there).

[ Just to be clear: autofs is a Linux kernel feature, systemd just exposes it 
in an easy to use way.  That is, BTW, a theme with systemd. ]

3.) Personally I find user units (systemd units that run as your user) super 
practical.  There is a system location for them, but you can place your own in 
your home directory under ~/.config/systemd/user/ and have them start when you 
log in.  If you configure your user session -- which is basically a systemd 
instance running as your user -- as "lingering", you can have persistent user 
services that run as long as your computer is on (strictly speaking, for as 
long as your user session is active).  For example, my desktop looks like this:

It's all shell script that gets passed through /bin/sh, so you can get
away with anything that will work in your /bin/sh. If you plan on
distributing your changes, though, then you should stick to POSIX sh
because you never know what the end user will be running.

Does openrc-run (or the old way) support adding to strings? I.e.:


modules+=" foo"
modules+=" bar"


or must one use


modules="${modules} foo"
modules="${modules} bar"


or must it even be one single string? Does that support embedded
linebreaks?

I think this should be documented better in the file.

The /etc/init.d/modules script does something like

Many thanks, Michael and Mick.

It turned out that I had to write

modules="vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp enhanceio enhanceio_lru  
enhanceio_fifo enhanceio_rand"


i.e. all modules in one string assignment to the variable 'modules'

[gentoo-user] openrc : autoload kernel modules

2017-12-14 Thread Helmut Jarausch

Hi,

could anybody please explain me how to setup autoloading of some kernel  
modules of mine.


I'm using openrc.

My modules reside in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/enhanceio/ .

I have added the following lines to  /etc/conf.d/modules

modules="enhanceio"
modules="enhanceio_lru"
modules="enhanceio_fifo"
modules="enhanceio_rand"


but these modules don't get loaded at boot time.

The modules are OK since using 'depmod' works fine.

What am I missing?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut

I suppose what exactly you are asking for, is to make new filesystems on

The worst insults are stated without any foul language.  Indeed, I'll

Some of the time, at least, people who resort to swearing do so in

I am probably not the only one who would still dearly like such a

Except that you're not exactly asking questions, now are you?  You asked Neil 
one, but only after a longer to and fro.  If you *had* actually started out 
asking questions, as opposed to spouting hearsay and then even literally 
saying that you couldn't be bothered to research systemd yourself, my response 
would have been drastically different.  Remember that everybody is here on 
their own time, and not everybody wants to spend it responding to questions 
that can easily be answered by reading documentation.  I'm already wasting 
oodles of time writing this as is.

If you *really* are interested, there is a longer thread on gentoo-amd64 where 
I wrote about my experience switching to systemd [0] (keep in mind, however, 
that a bunch of it is outdated by now, such as how I manage networking and 
backups).  It could be interesting especially since it's mostly about actually 
solving problems.

I could list specific features of systemd that I like and make use of (such as 
socket activation, autofs integration, user units, nspawn, or the journal), 
but thinking about it, it's a "more than the sum of its parts" kind of deal.  
Managing a system with systemd is just overall pleasant for me.

[ And I never again have to deal with the state of a service being misreported 
by OpenRC because a daemons PID file has the wrong PID in it, or with stopping 
a service not actually stopping it, both of which I had experienced multiple 
times. ]

At the moment 3.02_alpha06, but I've tested the unstable version of
cdrtools also.

Yes to both.

It seems that readtoc wishes to write to 'fd 0' instead to '-'.  
Perhaps

I should mention also that there is no desktop environment on my
machine. Only icewm.



I'm using Icewm myself.
Perhaps you create an strace log and I'll compare that to one on my  
machine.

My whole machine is on "Gentoo unstable" - though it's very stable.

You need at least 3.02a08 that has been published in:

schily-2017-03-30.tar.bz2

today, a separate cdrtools-3.02a09 has been shipped.

This is a bug in cdda2wav that only hits when compiled in 64 bit mode. For this 
reason, it has not been detected for a long time as Solaris by default uses 32 
Bit applications as 64 bit application on an orthogonal CPU are usually 
slower...

The bug has been fixed on March 28, 2017 and published in schilytools.

Today, I published a separate source ball cdrtools-3.02a09.
