I agree with Leio - systemd will allow you to tune boot process.

If you want improve working performance - mount /tmp and /var/tmp as tmpfs.

what is error ?

You should read the error messages!

The answer is in first lines...

Please execute the following command first

Code: Select all

еmerge -1 dev-perl/XML-Parser

and repeat your update.

Sysa

Do you have 'xorg.conf'?

Sysa

Please show

emerge --info

Sysa

Do you have modules enabled in your kernel?

I don't get it.

It is because system in the same state.
Look at iostat during long I/O, e.g.

Code: Select all

emerge --sync

in one console and

Code: Select all

watch -n1 iostat

in another and you'll see the difference...

Sysa

Before:

Code: Select all

sdb ... 5505604

After:

Code: Select all

sdb ... 5614576

difference is 100Mb - it means that write operation was finished.

What you want to see?

Try to send more (*Gbs) to see running process...

Sysa

Look at

Code: Select all

lsof

in both cases...

Sure thing, though it looks correct to me:

Yes.
e.g. network definitions are changed... runlevels also...
Did you make

Code: Select all

emerge --with-bdeps y -uDN @world
revdep-rebuild

? Did it finish normally?

It's normal, do not worry - as I said all necessary packets will be added by dependencies.
Do not forget to run

Code: Select all

revdep-rebuild

after.

Updating the vserver was quite a pita. After all the system is running again but some init-scripts have the following output:

Welcome to the Gentoo!

FYI: Gentoo does not have versions :).

Just install it in accordance with the handbook.

Is it possible to install it on the 4GB pendrive? Yes, it is possible but it is better to install to HDD first, update, fine tune it and install your customized system to a pendrive ...

My /etc/conf.d/net file contains something like this:

...
routes_eth3=(
"-host 10.215.147.62 gw 192.168.210.1"
)

When I boot the system I get several errors and some routes are not added.

The failing entries are:

...
routes_eth3=(
"-host 10.215.147.62 gw 192.168.210.1"

Hi All:

I'm running on AMD64 with XFCE4 desktop but I keep the qt4 libraries for some odd apps I need form time to time.
EVERYTIME they are upgraded I have the same problem described in the first post.

I do this:
emerge -uDp system and get all the blockers the first post states. The only ...

Did you read OpenRC migration Guide?

It mentions not about dispatch-conf only but some changes in rc-update levels, networking etc.

Please read it again, maybe you'll find an answer yourself.

Sysa

What is your "baselayout"?

Welcome to the Gentoo!

FYI: Gentoo does not have versions

.

Just install it in accordance with the handbook.

In order to protect production LAN from saturation/overloading I'm using another NIC(s) to create alternative backup LAN.
Please keep in mind that it does not protect your system from possible CPU or I/O overloading...

Sysa

What is your baselayout?

Sysa

Just do your migration and do not worry about.

Sysa

Just do

Code: Select all

emerge -C dev-libs/libxml2

and continue updating.
It should be installed by dependency.

Sysa

Of course, you can!

Any way, You'll better do it later when you'll be ready to visit your server in emergency but I do not think that your presence will be necessary - I migrated my 20+ hosts (both, physical and virtual) without any problem yet.

FYI: It is mandatory that You have to read ...

Sysa

Usually I do

Code: Select all

emerge -1 $(qlist -IC udev driver)

only but recently (after migration to 2.6.37 and KMS) I had to make

Code: Select all

emerge -1 $(qlist -IC xorg x11 drm)

also to solve a "black screen" problem.

Sysa

Try

Code: Select all

emerge  -1 $(qlist -IC wireless wicd udev)
revdep-rebuild
