[SOLVED] Go-Flex Home migrating to systemd

[dannyp]

Are there any instructions on how to achieve this??

Not really, at least not that I know of.

And from my experience just follow this: http://archlinuxarm.org/support/reinstallation

And from my experience the process is not quite smooth, just DO NOT reboot once you get it working (again my experience).

Good luck, this is my 4th or 5th re-install after I screwed my GoFlex Net (that was running and maintained for about 2 years when I decided to update and move completely to systemd).

The wiki is here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd

However it requires uBoot modifications. I think you could install systemd and systemd-sysvcompat and would do it, then you can start getting rid of rc.conf by enabling systemd services and removing them from daemons. But if you reboot and can't ssh in don't blame me then you will have to do a reinstall.

You don't have to mess with uboot. Default it's looking for /sbin/init
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# pacman -Qo /sbin/init
/sbin/init is owned by systemd-sysvcompat 197-4
# ls -l /sbin/init
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jan 16 18:38 /sbin/init -> ../usr/lib/systemd/systemd')
initscripts is what's keeping the rc system running, and system enable won't work until reboot.
If you are worried you could get the essentials of systemd enabled before reboot
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/sshd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/sshd.service
ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd@.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dhcpcd@eth0.service')

I have to say..... it was pretty smooth. I had no issues what so ever

Did
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy systemd-sysvcompat')
then
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# pacman -Qo /sbin/init
/sbin/init is owned by systemd-sysvcompat 197-4
# ls -l /sbin/init
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jan 16 18:38 /sbin/init -> ../usr/lib/systemd/systemd')
then
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable dhcpcd@eth0.service')
then
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable sshd.servive')
then
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable smbd.service')
then
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl enable mysqld.service')
did a reboot and all works fine.

As always, thanks to all that had an input, what a great community of people.

no stress

Check the DAEMONS line in /etc/rc.conf and make sure everything is systemctl enabled.
Now get rid of rc by removing initscripts

cat /etc/rc.conf
Take a note of things in DAEMONS line
eg if openntpd is there then-
systemctl enable openntpd
