Hello Last time I gave a try to systemd as my init replacement. I am using it on debian sid system (systemd is from experimental), My rootfs is on NFS share (I have "ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs and nfsroot=..." appended as kernel parameters). First problem in my configuration is remounting my root filesystem. It cannot remount it in read-write because systemd is remounting it with the following command: mount -o remount / and this gives the following error during bootup: mount.nfs: remote share not in 'host:dir' format
so I have to patch /lib/systemd/system/remount-rootfs.service it like this: --- remount-rootfs.service.original 2011-04-28 21:20:45.000000000 +0200 +++ remount-rootfs.service 2011-05-14 18:09:13.254955918 +0200 @@ -15,5 +15,5 @@ [Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes -ExecStart=/bin/mount / -o remount +ExecStart=/bin/mount /dev/nfs / -o remount StandardOutput=syslog After reboot my rootfs was remounted correctly in rw mode. I know this is a specific and ugly workaround, but my point is to report this as an issue. Just by the way: my system is starting up in about 25 seconds with sysvinit, while with systemd it took about 20 seconds. Nice :) Second issue is the powering down the machine. My sysvinit has no problems with this. I took a photo of last onscreen messages: http://skyboo.net/systemd/sysvinit.png After this the computer is properly powered down. While using systemd i've got the following: http://skyboo.net/systemd/systemd.png It seems that the kernel is trying to pull some data from NFS server and it is not responding (don't know why - maybe the NIC was deconfigured too early, or rootfs unmounted)... and it hung like this forever - so the only way to power off is holding the power button :( If you need further info, please let me know, I'll try to provide as much as I can. regards, -- Mariusz Białończyk jabber/e-mail: ma...@skyboo.net http://manio.skyboo.net _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
