[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] sysvinit: modify bootlog location
The default location for bootlog is volatile, so we change it to something that is not. --- meta/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit/bootlogd.init | 19 --- 1 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/meta/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit/bootlogd.init b/meta/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit/bootlogd.init index f8f07a0..4422166 100755 --- a/meta/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit/bootlogd.init +++ b/meta/recipes-core/sysvinit/sysvinit/bootlogd.init @@ -37,6 +37,19 @@ case "$0" in ;; esac +# default /var/log/boot is not an option since /var/log becomes +# /var/volatile/log +logfile=/var/local/bootlogd.log + +# +# Create initial log files +# +if [ ! -f "$logfile" ] && touch "$logfile" >/dev/null 2>&1; then + echo "(Nothing has been logged yet.)" >| "$logfile" + chown root:adm "$logfile" + chmod 640 "$logfile" +fi + case "$ACTION" in start) echo -n "Starting $DESC: " @@ -44,9 +57,9 @@ case "$ACTION" in then umask 027 start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \ - --exec $DAEMON -- -r + --exec $DAEMON -- -r -l $logfile else - $DAEMON -r + $DAEMON -r -l $logfile fi echo "$NAME." ;; @@ -70,7 +83,7 @@ case "$ACTION" in echo -n "Restarting $DESC: " start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $DAEMON sleep 1 - start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON + start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- -l $logfile echo "$NAME." ;; *) -- 1.7.3.4 ___ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core

I never understood why the log directory was volatile to be honest.

Maybe we could change around the creation of bootlogd.log such that, if /var/local were not writeable, we'd stick it in /var/log.

Joe Hi all, I once wanted to make /var/log not volatile, but then I realised that not preserving logs between reboots doesn't seem to bother any user, so I dropped the patches and marked the bug NOTABUG. (https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3397) So the key problem here is, are we going to preserve logs between reboots? If so, we can make /var/log not volatile, in the same way Laurentiu did with /var/cache, and add the following lines to the read-only-rootfs-hook.sh script to make things work in case of a read-only filesystem. mkdir -p /var/volatile/log mount --bind /var/volatile/log /var/log Best Regards, Chen Qi Sau!
