OpenRC support thread, 2d Edition

[mungo_k]

A big problem.
I have an old proxy server with gentoo. After update to openrc there was no problem.
Now I had to add some of services to default runlevel. I added clamav (rc-update add clamd default). After reboot it doesn't run! No messages, it just skipped. Manual run works (/etc/init.d/clamd start).
I tried to remove and after add again this, no effect.

Any help?

A difference I noticed with OpenRC is that it restarts a lot of services when restarting a network interface. Is there any way to get the old behavior?

Is there any comprehensive documentation with OpenRC? It appears that the best it gets are some sporadic comments in the configuration files. What about documentation of all the things in /etc/conf.d/ such as ./modules and how all the other things? A documentation of the init scripts, perhaps? Is OpenRC practically not documented?

no, very little documentation at all.

[ManDay]

Oh :) Looks like the generic documentation for the OpenRC framework, though - are the individual components (such as modules) also documented somewhere?

[John R. Graham]

Alas, I don't think there is a "What You Can Do with Baselayout" tutorial document all in one place. Some of it is in the Baselayout and OpenRC Migration Guide but this is by no means a complete HOWTO on the capabilities.

After a certain world upgrade several months ago i can't see console boot log on tty1. It's there, but login screen clears all log. How to stop this? I want welcome message after boot log.

I remember reading about this in another thread a few months back, I think that there is no way of bringing back old behaviour by just changing some option in a config file, though I may be wrong. There are posts about this in the forums, anyway.

This is not related with openrc but only with agetty: Change the corresponding inittab line to

My bad. But thanks for help!

Hi all. Seems I'm coming a little late to the OpenRC party, oh well.

Just got done migrating to the new OpenRC & baselayout and what an improvement. The system boots so much faster.

Got through all the modules things, network things, etc. All seems to be working with one little issue.

I have a number of hard disks in this system, about 1/3 EIDE and the rest SATA, but somehow or another, the appropriate /dev/sd device nodes (yes, I've migrated to LibATA long ago), are missing. Mind you that the system is using all the hard disks, so it must be finding them somewhere. EVMS volumes are all intact.

These missing /dev/sd? nodes really messes up smartd, which I'm using to monitor these hard disks health.

Here are the related smartd log lines:
Jan 15 07:51:30 storage smartd[27664]: Device: /dev/sda, open() failed: No such device
Jan 15 07:51:30 storage smartd[27664]: Device: /dev/sdb, open() failed: No such device
Jan 15 07:51:30 storage smartd[27664]: Device: /dev/sdc, open() failed: No such device
Jan 15 07:51:30 storage smartd[27664]: Device: /dev/sdd, open() failed: No such device
Jan 15 07:51:30 storage smartd[27664]: Device: /dev/sde, open() failed: No such device
Jan 15 07:51:30 storage smartd[27664]: Device: /dev/sdf, open() failed: No such device

The drives after /dev/sdf are all there, and smartd can monitor those.

The most interesting thing is that EVMS is finding the /dev/sda - /dev/sdf nodes just fine.

Any pointers where I can start to investigate and make udev put these nodes back in dev where I need them?

I search around a bit, but if there's another thread or post I can start with, just point me there.

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone find a reason for this to be displayed when I restart a service?

Code: Select all

 * Caching service dependencies ... /lib64/rc/sh/rc-functions.sh: line 91: shell_var: command not found       [ ok ]

Did you try to open this file and replace it with the absolute path, something like this:

Code: Select all

local _rc_svcname=$(/lib/rc/bin/shell_var "$RC_SVCNAME") _deptype= _depends=

(`lib64` in your case)

Code: Select all

 * Caching service dependencies ... /lib64/rc/sh/rc-functions.sh: line 91: shell_var: command not found       [ ok ]

Sometimes, when I restart a service, I have the same issue and I didn't find any solution.
---
Edit: found it.
I had a really old open-iscsi initscript in /etc/init.d/; and because I don't have sys-block/open-iscsi installed. So, I just removed this file and now it works flawlessly. Thus, rc-update -u is now running without complaints :]

How did you figure out which script was causing the issue? I'll try to hunt down the script that is causing the same issue for me.

I edited some scripts in /etc/init.d/ that had the shell_variable in them, but that didn't help. So I edited the rc-functions.sh instead, and put the variable after "shell_variable" inside {} (shouldn't you have it as a rule and always do that?), and now the problem seems fixed:

Code: Select all

 90     depend
-91     local _rc_svcname=$(shell_var "$RC_SVCNAME") _deptype= _depends=
 92 

 90     depend
+91     local _rc_svcname=$(shell_var "${RC_SVCNAME}") _deptype= _depends=
 92 

I asked the same question on the previous page, and also supplied a solution. Shouldn't the rc-functions.sh be patched to always have the variable names within {}?

A difference I noticed with OpenRC is that it restarts a lot of services when restarting a network interface. Is there any way to get the old behavior?

Is the old behavior the right thing to do? If you've got a service (say, BIND) listening on one specific interface and you restart that interface to change its IP address, restarting the service is the only reliable way to get it to listen on the new address.

What package is einfo.h from? After googling it seems it is from baselayout, (which I emerged just fine). Any ideas what could be going on here?

[milkteafuzz]

I ran into this same issue today, upgrading a Gentoo install from 2008 (it was the only gentoo image that my vps provider had at the time - last I heard they were working on a new image but oh well).

einfo.h and friends are part of openrc, but that's exactly what you're compiling, is it not? I was able to resolve this by compiling an older version of openrc first and then upgrading to the latest version.

I'm using the parallel option in openrc. Is there anyway to block parallel inside a init script?

I have a slow script that runs on shutdown but some times the root FS is still unmounted before it finishes. I thought depend localmount was enough be it looks like it isn't. Any ideas?
