 |
|
systemd-216 manages somehow to obtain full control over mount points:
If a mount unit for some filesystem exists (which is unavoidable if this is in /etc/fstab) then this mount point can neither be mounted nor umounted with the "mount" and "umount" commands, only by starting or stopping the systemd units.
How is this possible?
And - more important - how can I prevent this new BS of systemd-216? So far, the only "workaround" to this annoying behaviour seems to be to link the unit to /dev/null - even a ConditionNull in the unit does not stop this broken behaviour of systemd. |

Odd, I'm using systemd-216 as well yet I do not have this problem. I have an external hard drive mounted at /mnt/drive that's listed in my fstab that I can mount and unmount as ease using their respective commands.
Here's what /run/systemd/generator/mnt-drive.mount looks like on my system
| Code: | # Automatically generated by systemd-fstab-generator
[Unit]
SourcePath=/etc/fstab
Documentation=man:fstab(5) man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)
Before=local-fs.target
[Mount]
What=/dev/disk/by-partuuid/4b6676ba-ad27-40ef-a1b4-8d6c8e8f4302
Where=/mnt/drive
Type=btrfs
Options=noatime,space_cache,inode_cache,compress=lzo,autodefrag |
Perhaps the fstab generator is the problem here? Booting Linux with the kernel parameter fstab="no" should stop systemd from handling these mount points, perhaps this would fix your problem. |

Thanks for the reply.
Meanwhile I found that it is necessary that the mount-device is from /dev/mapper.
Thus, the existence of the following unit prevents the manual mounting/umounting of /srv/foo (note that even ConditionNull is used...):
| /etc/systemd/system/srv-foo.mount wrote: | [Mount]
ConditionNull=false
What=/dev/mapper/nonexistent
Where=/srv/foo
Type=dummy |
In the moment when the "Where" directory is changed or "/dev/mapper/nonexistent" is modified to "/nonexistent" the mounting of /srv/foo is possible
(Of course, "systemctl daemon-reload" has to be used when making such modifications).

It is undesired here, since I actually do not want a unit for the corresponding mount-point, but it is of course not the "cause" for this misbehaviour of systemd.
| Quote: | | Booting Linux with the kernel parameter fstab="no" |
This is not a solution for me, since most of my partitions should be mounted automatically. I cuold as well mask the wrongly generated units. B[/i]ut both is a lot of work and prevents me from copying my /etc/systemd configuration to my other systems which have different mount-points. |

With systemd-219 my previous workaround to mask the autogenerated unit is boycotted:
systemd-219 now "starts" some internally generated mount-unit whenever you mount something. There is no way to avoid this nonsense.
Finally, I am able to produce a test case so that everyone can see the complete brokenness:
| Code: |
# The following is necessary to produce the failure, although completely unrelated
# (It just means that the "illusion" of systemd being the operating system is destroyd
# by letting the kernel being able to do some mounts automatically).
mkdir /tmp/bla
mount --bind / /tmp/bla
mount --make-shared /
# Now with systemd, "mount" simply does not work for the device mapper.
# To prove it, we make an encrypted device and "mount" it (unsuccesfully):
M=experiment
F=./$M/file
D=./$M/dir
DM=/dev/mapper/$M
mkdir -p $D
dd if=/dev/zero of=$F bs=1024 count=5000
cryptsetup luksFormat $F # type YES and a password
cryptsetup luksOpen $F $M # re-enter the password
mke2fs $DM # Format the new encrypted device
mount $DM $D # With systemd, this has no effect!
: >$D/failed # Prove it by using the mount
umount $D # This fails on systemd
cryptsetup luksClose $M
ls $D # This displays "failed" on systemd
rm -r ./$M # cleanup everything |
My clear recommendation: Dump systemd and use a sane init system which does not pretend to be an operation system.
Edit: Reformulated less offensive.

I wonder if Jesus will return when systemd reaches version 666

Systemd-219 here, I have had a similar issue last night, tinkering with two squashfs images and a qcow2 disk image.
After boot, doing "mount squash1.img /mnt/1" works with no other options needed and correctly creates the loop device and mounts, then doing "mount squash2.img /mnt/tmp" doesn't work, with the same error you reported (reproduced error right now because of journal rotation... see below):

Last night I didn't think about it too much, it didn't work so I tried another route: using losetup, then mounting (read-only) /dev/loop1 to /mnt/tmp, and it worked without issues. I left the systemd do what I needed (copying contents from /mnt/1 and /mnt/tmp to the qcow2 image) with htop opened in another tmux window. When I came back and everything was done, I found that the systemd process was eating my cpu, system load was about 2.5 (dual-core cpu). I ran "journalctl -f" and was flooded with

and so on. So systemd was continuously trying to unmount /mnt/tmp, but had no permission ("Operazione non permessa" = "Operation not permitted") to do that (why? Is it because I mounted it as root?). This also caused the journal to rotate because I set SystemMaxUse=200M in /etc/systemd/journald.conf
Should I report some of my "experience" to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541402 or https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89383 ?
Edit: just tried patch https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541402#c6 , run "systemctl daemon-reexec && systemctl daemon-reload" (if it does make any sense), mounts correctly but floods the journal with the same message, and systemd process eats cpu cycles. Rebooted, now it's working. |
