If we want to stop those services which would compete for access to
the console, we need to have an ordering so that they are actually
stopped before the other things starts, not asynchronously.
The block is reordered and split to have:
1. description + documentation
2. (optionally) conditions
3. all the dependencies
I think it's easier to read the units this way.
Also, the Conflicts+Before is seperated out to separate lines.
The ordering dependency is "fake", because it could just as well be
After=, we are adding it to force ordering wrt. shutdown.target, and
it plays a different role than the other Before=, which are about a
real ordering on boot.
If for any reason local-fs.target fails at startup while a password is
requested by systemd-cryptsetup@.service, we end up with the emergency shell
competing with systemd-ask-password-console.service for the console.
This patch makes sure that:
- systemd-ask-password-console.service is stopped before entering in emergency
mode so it won't make any access to the console while the emergency shell is
running.
- systemd-ask-password-console.path is also stopped so any attempts to restart
systemd-cryptsetup in the emergency shell won't restart
systemd-ask-password-console.service and kill the emergency shell.
- systemd-ask-password-wall.path is stopped so
systemd-ask-password-wall.service won't be started as this service pulls
the default dependencies in.
Fixes: #10131
This should help making the boot process a bit easier to explore and
understand for the administrator. The simple idea is that "systemctl
status" now shows a link to documentation alongside the other status and
decriptionary information of a service.
This patch adds the necessary fields to all our shipped units if we have
proper documentation for them.
We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
Instead of the /dev/.run trick we have currently implemented, we decided
to move the early-boot runtime dir to /run.
An existing /var/run directory is bind-mounted to /run. If /var/run is
already a symlink, no action is taken.
An existing /var/lock directory is bind-mounted to /run/lock.
If /var/lock is already a symlink, no action is taken.
To implement the directory vs. symlink logic, we have a:
ConditionPathIsDirectory=
now, which is used in the mount units.
Skipped mount unit in case of symlink:
$ systemctl status var-run.mount
var-run.mount - Runtime Directory
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/var-run.mount)
Active: inactive (dead)
start condition failed at Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:51:41 +0100; 6min ago
Where: /var/run
What: /run
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/var-run.mount
The systemd rpm needs to make sure to add something like:
%pre
mkdir -p -m0755 /run >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
or it needs to be added to filesystem.rpm.
Udev -git already uses /run if that exists, and is writable at bootup.
Otherwise it falls back to the current /dev/.udev.
Dracut and plymouth need to be adopted to switch from /dev/.run to run
too.
