Little question/wish regarding the handling of dm-crypt/luks with openrc.

I've got the following partitions, which all are encrypted with different keys: /, /usr, /var, /tmp, /opt, /home - so, a total of 5 (/ is handled by the init-script of course).

For convenience, all keyfiles are on the same medium. I don't know exactly, how openrc handles it, but counting the time, it seems that for every partition, the medium gets mounted, the partition decrypted/mapped, medium gets unmounted. Every mount/umount takes around 1s, so that makes a total of around 10s just for mounting. Shouldn't the dmcrypt-file get parsed and checked, if all the keys are in the same location and then the medium gets only mounted/umounted once? Doesn't have to be default, but at least an option would be nice.

On the other hand, even when running in parallel-mode, I've got the feeling, that the cryptsetup-stuff is handled one after the other. That may be safer, but takes a long time and f.e. isn't needed in my case, so would be another option for speed-up.

Am I totally wrong or am I guessing correct and the statements above do make sense?

I am completly underwhelmed.

No, I am pissed.

fsck crashs out on boot - and then nothing goes, because it can not check some fs. WTF? ok, /fastboot works around it, but it is completly and absolutly fucked up.

what is wrong with this fstab - except that the old baselout worked flawlessly with it?

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.

tmpfs /var/tmp/portage tmpfs rw,size=2G 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,size=512M,noexec 0 0

Second thing that REALLY pissed me of was the removal of the net stuff - ok. I was warned, but still.

Boot is not faster than before - no it is slower, same like reboot/shutdown.

And where can I tell the new baselayout/openrc stuff to NOT load modules except the ones explecitly told so?

oh and this:
fancontrol [ crashed ]

Love it! Not!

Sorry if this has been addressed before, but I've searched and I can't find the answer. I've just converted one of my linux root partitions to openrc...went very smooth once I figured out what to unmask to get the right versions of udev, hal and cryptsetup. I have a few minor issues, but they aren't openrc related, but one thing I would like is the logging feature of openrc. The docs say they you don't need showconsole to use it, but when I turn on logging in /etc/conf.d/rc, I don't get any rc.log in /var/log. Anybody know the solution to this? Thanks.

Hi platojones,
The openrc config has been moved to /etc/rc.conf!
If you followed the openrc update instructions you
would have known that.
The /etc/conf.d/rc.conf is deprecated and probably
doesn't work anymore.
Gerard.

Hi, I have a small pbm with my keyboard since I switched to openrc/baselayout-2. I use gnome on a desktop amd64 and I am the only user, I have the login auto; the keyboard and mouse are bluetooth wireless. I followed carefully (at least I tried) the how to upgrade and everything at rebooth went smooth apart from my keyboard do not work at all until I log off (the mouse works!). At the prompt of gdm the keyboard start working and then, when I am again log in, the keyboard works perfectly. During the boot process I can stop/start the scrolling (with CRTL s and crtl q) so it seems the keyboard is working, at least since gdm starts. If I disable the auto login, for example, there is no way to log in because at the gdm prompt the keyboard do not work. No one errors in the X.org.0 log, neither in dmesg. Before the upgrade averything was perfectly. The following are the versions of the pgms installed:

sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r12
sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0
sys-apps/openrc-0.4.2
sys-fs/udev-135-r3
sys-apps/hal-0.5.11-r6

I do not know what check, maybe someone else faced this. Any help very appreciated.
Thanks.

hi
did you update X recently ? new xorg uses hal to configure keyboard and mouse via hal.
you can try this :

@sian:
No i didn't. I checked in the forum many threads about xorg-server and it's upgrade to version 1.5. My version is still the stable x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6 and what I understand is only version greater than 1.4 use hal to manage keyboards and mouse. In any case I did already added in ServerFlags : Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" as well as I tried to re-compile xorg and all the modules without success. I will try your options and report the results.
Thanks

@Robu : Well it looked like it was something with hal (detecting your input or not launched)...

Yummy - openrc took booting on my Dell Latitude d430 from about 50 seconds to about 20.

I'm impressed with how easy the upgrade was, especially with the automatic porting of things like my autoloaded modules. I wonder when this will become the default, as it sure is impressive.

i just upgraded udev/sysvinit/cryptsetup and hal to solve the blockers of openrc-0.4.2.
Now, automounting does not work in gnome. Any thoughts?

(i think it`s faster than 0.2.5? :S)

edit:
my bad, i was right about running revdep-rebuild... something is broken

i`ll edit again later

edit2:
revdep-rebuild fixed hal. but the issue was fixed in this comment:

Hi, I want to change the order of soundcards. I have added following to /etc/conf.d/modules but is doesn't work. But maybe this is not openrc problem:
