Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

From the wiki, arch-persistent-settings.service does this:

sets the timezone based on rc.conf

This is the only thing I might still need from the initscripts-systemd package. What exactly does this do and can I live without it?

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

It does what it says it does. If you use a GUI such as gnome or KDE, you've got a settings manager which takes care of this for you. If you're a console commando and/or running on a desktop that doesn't travel between time zones, then you can just ditch this as your timezone isn't likely to change, updating manually as necessary.

I just started using systemd and I think it's faster than Arch's default init system.

I have a question, is root fsck'ed during boot?
I only saw /boot and /home being fsck'ed.

Thanks

mounts will always be fsck'd prior to being mounted. root is no exception.

$ systemctl status fsck-root.service
fsck-root.service - File System Check on Root Device
      Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fsck-root.service)
      Active: inactive (dead) since Fri, 29 Apr 2011 23:42:32 -0400; 1 day and 20h ago
    Main PID: 121 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
      CGroup: name=systemd:/system/fsck-root.service

Thanks falconindy!

I thought root is not fsck'd because it is not displayed during boot.

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

Okay,  so everyone having problems with networkmanager in KDE.

Please check this post -> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=927415
It's not related to systemd, but to kde.

I've tried systemd from the community repo again, what I've found that both on my laptop and on my home computer, the mount of the boot partition fails with a time-out, and if I gave the root password, I can manually mount the boot partition, why is that?
In my fstab, there is nothing specific:
UUID=something /boot ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 1 2
On the home machine, after the timeout, it fails to mount /home and another partition mounted under home, it says dependency error.
On my laptop, networkmanager with systemd starts randomly, booting once everything is ok, on the other time, it fails.

Make sure you have up to date udev and mkinitcpio, then update your initrd.
I think this is because old initrd does not handle /run correctly (or at all).

That didn't help, I've an up to date system. If you read back in the forum a little bit, you may find, that I've a special setup: a ocz ssd with hardware raid, containing /boot, /, /home, and a softraid raid0 with two hdd-s, containing /var, and a partition mounted under home. With earlier version, systemd didn't mount anything at all, now /, and /var are mounted, (/run and /var/run also), but I have to mount manually /boot, /home and the third partition. My question is do I need the mdadm hook, or /var can be mounted during boot without the mdadm hook?

Any help appreciated

I had a similar problem but my configuration is very common: /dev/sda5 swap, /dev/sda6 root and /dev/sda7 home partitions
Systemd stopped with and error like 'job dev-sda7.device start/dependency' and can not mount /home. I removed and reinstalled everithing but i think the problem was solved reinstalling udev and recreating initrd, if you use it.

I hope this help

Thank you, it worked! The udev reinstall and the initrd regeneration were the solution.

I don't know if this is causing your problem but did you remember to symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts?

Ahh i didn't see that in the wiki before, thanks. I'm doing a lot of fuse stuff though, so symlinking might not be the best option for me at this time. I'll try it out.

In this case, you really should be recompiling util-linux with the option --enable-libmount-mount. This should allow fuse to continue working properly.

Is the new initscripts system /sbin/rc a step in systemd direction?

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

/sbin/rc is merely a helper script. I fail to see the connection to systemd.

Autofs isn't happy with it though:

Hasn't that been there like, forever? (or at least since I started trying systemd, before the repo version of util-linux was new enough to support systemd).

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

I posted util-linux-git in January after the release of 2.19 shortly before the name change happened. util-linux-ng-git was available for some time before that. Wasn't owned by me though, despite my efforts.

Aside: util-linux is definitely one of the more enjoyable projects that I follow. I'd say no less than 80% of the traffic on the ML is patches. No bullshit, just fix stuff, clean it up, and add new features.

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

Hi!

I use systemd for a month now and all was perfect. But with the newer release, I have a problem. I use Gnome 3 with networkmanager. When I start without systemd, it works perfectly, but with systemd, networkmanager don't launch at all... Furthermore, I can't shutdown my computer normally, it freeze on shutdown and must poweroff manually... I start my deamons with rc.conf.
Someone have an idea?

(sorry for my bad english...)

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

I followed falconindy's advice and it solved the problem with networkmanager.

falconindy wrote:

I suggest switching to rsyslog, until syslog-ng can get its act together (and implement proper socket activation and takeover). This should fix a large number of problems that people have been experiencing recently wrt hanging at shutdown (and probably bootup as well).

community/rsyslog includes its own service file, so its simply a matter of HUP'ing systemd and enabling the new logger.

Don't use rc.conf. Use the native .service-files instead.

Even if I want keep an entry in Grub with the default init system? Just in the case of anything goes wrong...

You can still have the DAEMONS array in rc.conf, systemd doesn't use it by default. You can (or could, maybe falconindy has removed the support) enable systemd to use the legacy sysvinit daemon scripts by loading a certain .service-file, but it's not recommended.

This was what I thought you were doing, instead of using 'systemctl enable <daemon>.service'.

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

I'm trying out an autofs.service file, which seems to basically work but for some reason dies instantly after starting.

autofs.service:

EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/autofs
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/automount 
StandardOutput=syslog

[Install]

Re: systemd: Yet Another Init Replacement

systemd integrates heavily with autofs, why not just use that? For example, in my fstab at home...

LABEL=Gluttony      /mnt/Gluttony   ext4      defaults,noatime,comment=systemd.automount     0       2

and at work...

//fileserver3/IT  /mnt/fs3      cifs   defaults,credentials=/mnt/.me,comment=systemd.automount 0 0

Neither of these are mounted on boot -- it's not until I attempt to access them, (e.g. ls /mnt/fs3) that they're mounted.

arch-daemons.target. Sadly, it's going to be a little longer than I wanted until that unit disappears. That said, the intended usage of that target was never meant to be more than:

1) Install systemd, initscripts-systemd, systemd-arch-units (arch-daemons.target is enabled)
2) reboot
3) copy /run/systemd/generator/arch-daemons.target.wants/*.service to /etc/systemd/system for anything where a native unit file doesn't exist
4) kill -1 1 (refreshes systemd's unit database)
5) systemctl enable *.service (for the services you copied over in step 3)
6) disable arch-daemons.target
7) ????
8) profit.

I'd encourage you to go one step further and try to write unit files for anything missing from our current collection in systemd-arch-units. You could even go one step further and submit it upstream so we don't have to maintain it ourselves.
