Ticket #2552 (set MTU size in network scripts)
Hi.
I wanted to write this for a while already, so here it goes:
Like thomas, we had to adjust the MTU for our interfaces;
we do it per default like this in the ipv4 service script:

As the $IFCONFIG file is read after the fixed "MTU=1492, it can be
overridden inside of it.
But something like the attached patch "ipv4-static.diff" would probably
more desirable for the book, as it just modifies the current behavior in
case an MTU setting is present in the $IFCONFIG file.
There has been a script in the
bootscripts/contrib/sysconfig/network-devices/services/mtu file of the
LFS-Book repo, but I find it slightly more aesthetic to just include it
in the ipv4-static script, avoiding for example the "..cannot continue"
message which the seperate script would produce for $IFCONFIGs without
an MTU entry.
I've attached a patch to the (LFS-)book's sources to that effect.
While the the ticket resides in the trac for BLFS, the change would have
to take place in LFS, wouldn't it, so I cc'd the LFS development list.
greets,
jens

Did anyone investigate the boot loader options further? What should be done for LFS-7.0? And before anyone objects to LILO on the basis that you must not forget to run it: write the /sbin/installkernel script and run "make install" in the kernel tree (it calls /sbin/installkernel, that should rename and install bzImage and update the boot loader), and the problem of forgetting to run lilo will go away.

e2fsprogs-1.40.{5,6} + grub-0.97
Hi there.
When updating to e2fsprogs-1.40.6 like LFS devel did, I noticed my
system(s) no longer booting via grub. Slightly inconvenient ;-)
After digging around a while I found that mke2fs has changed the inode
size to 256, making grub effectively unable to read the filesystem to
find it's directory, the kernel etc.
I dug around in the net for a while and found a patch
(
http://people.debian.org/~terpstra/message/20080130.140155.866d3ad1.en.html
)
but the formatting on a html-page always leaves a bit to be desired.
I attach the version we use her for review, eventually it can be of use
for LFS devel.
Warmest greetings, keep up the good work,
drifter

MTU manipulation through lfs-bootscripts: has it been deprecated?
Hello beautiful people :) I was in a situation which prompted (unfortunately) for lowering the MTU of a network-device to assure functionality as planned (r8169 driver, 8168B/8111 NIC) While looking at the actual bootscripts and searching a bit/asking my way around, I came across http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/browser/trunk/bootscripts/contrib/sysconfig/network-devices/services/mtu?rev=4187 which is a service script allowing one to set the MTU of a network device via the same mechanism which sets it up at boot-time. As this script is (no longer?) part of the LFS-bootscripts, I was asking myself why this is the case...? Any insight appreciated, no hurry nescessary (I "had to" re-include it already..). greets, jens -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 23.56...drifting By caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, By the beans of Java do thoughts acquire speed, hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, By caffeine alone do I set my mind in motion -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

First of all: The observed behavior is (unfortunately) not dependent on udev-111 <-> udev-110. We have seen this behavior more often, lately, still trying to live without persistent, auto-generated network rules. Maybe we'll have to refrain from that, but still udev's naming behavior puzzles me a bit: We have card a -> eth0 (custom rule via PCI-id) card b -> eth1 (should become that automatically, pcmcia-slotted) In the normal boot process (over 50% of the time... *sigh* ..), card a is found first and becomes eth0 straight away-> no problem; card b gets found second and becomes eth1. Problems arise when card b is found first, because: card b becomes eth0 our custom rule wants to assign card a -> eth0 card b gets moved out of the way; because card a is still eth1, card b becomes eth1_rename. card a becomes eth0; but card b stays eth1_rename Shouldn't the final step (eth1_rename -> eth1) be done somehow by something? Is this indeed expected behavior? greets, Jens -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 23.56...drifting By caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, By the beans of Java do thoughts acquire speed, hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, By caffeine alone do I set my mind in motion -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Having tried the below-mentioned patch, I'd say this should pose no problems. The location of the PCMCIA slot (id-wise) shouldn't change as far as I understand; and yes, it only has one of them. As long as nothing changes with regard to the sys filesystem, we should be OK with these rules even in case of a NIC replacement. The patch applied cleanly on udev-110 + udev-111 (although I did only test it running on udev-110 - works fine there). > I had a preliminary by-path patch for udev somewhere, let me see if I > can find it...

By observation, it seems that the NICs we use in the PCMCIA slot appear to the kernel as a PCI device. lspci for the card in PCMCIA slot: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Abocom Systems Inc RTL8139 [FE2000VX] CardBus Fast Ethernet Attached Port Adapter (rev 10) I don't know about "all NICs plugged to PCMCIA slots", but the ones we use(d) all behave(d) that way. > If I knew how those devices showed up in sysfs, I could > probably add it (otherwise you could just treat this patch as a starting > point). Regarding the extension towards PCMCIA-slotted NICs, I can give you no interesting information, as it works right without any changes in our case.

Should someone at a later time change this card (e.g. it is defect), the MAC would change, too. This would lead to the pcmcia network card not getting the name the vanished card had, in spite of being in the same place and having to fulfill the same tasks (which it won't, because it'd have another name and the network configs wouldn't match anymore). Would we use the laptop for ourselves only, it would be OK to be forced to e.g. erase the persistent-net.rules script. But this is not the case.

udev-110 ->111 changed behaviour for naming net-devices?
Hello. I tried to follow the LFS-devel book on udev but ran into the following: Setup: - kernel 2.6.21 - udev-111 - 2 network cards; one builtin (broadcomm, using tg3), one connected via pcmcia (using 8139too) - first network card is assigned name eth0 via udev-rule ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", BUS=="pci", ID==":02:00.0", \ NAME="eth0" While with udev-110, the cards got named eth0 and eth1, with udev-111, the second card gets eth1 at recognition (bootlog) but in the course of affairs gets renamed to eth1_rename. This prevents the usual network setup from happening correctly, as the scripts would like to assign address to eth1. I am aware that I could force eth1 onto the device with an udev-rule like the above for eth0, but would like to avoid this if at all possible. Has anybody here any information about why the behaviour of udev could have changed in this way? (did look into the rules distributed under etc/udev/rules.d/, but it seems only a script concerning storage [60-persistent-storage.rules] has changed between 110+111...) greets, Jens -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 23.56...drifting By caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, By the beans of Java do thoughts acquire speed, hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, By caffeine alone do I set my mind in motion -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page

thunderbird + firefox: 1.5.0.9 -> 1.5.0.10 (system_nss patch)
Hi out there. Due to the mozilla security announcements ( http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/ ) concerning versions 1.5.0.9, I was inclined to upgrade both to 1.5.0.10. I had to recognize that, while the pago-patch from BLFS still applies, the system_nss patch didn't like to do so. (Upgraded nss to 3.11.5 [ ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_11_5_RTM/src/nss-3.11.5-with-nspr-4.6.5.tar.gz ] , too, by the way) I massaged the patches (for firefox as well as for thunderbird) to apply again, but I am not in a position to judge if I "did it right", apart from both now applying and both apps compiling and running afterwards. If the actual maintainer of these patches might take a look at them and correcting eventual errors, the build instructions in the BLFS(-devel) would apply to (firefox-|thunderbird-)1.5.0.10 with working results, as far as I could see (changing the version-numbers as they appear explicitely would, of course, also be needed).
