NEW ARMv5te RootFS with Systemd (Please Test)

[moonman]

Another issue I found is that dhcpcd sometimes fails to start in time, especially after some services were enabled (samba?)
What I found works for me is to use netcfg with already-in-place profile wired-eth0
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl netcfg@wired-eth0.service
systemctl disable dhcp@eth0.service
reboot')

This needs to be done before enabling any other daemons as you may end up with a system that doesn't acquire an ip address.

It may take up to 10min for system to come online (don't know why) but it least it works after all.

I thought I did systemctl enable netcfg.service forthat rootfs
I have found a bug while installing arch on an eee701 laptop, netcfg starts before hardware detected. Put a sleep 5 in PRE_UP

[moonman]

I never really checked, but I think when I disabled dhcp it removed a symlink. Where do I find PRE_UP?

[pepedog]

PRE_UP is not there, add to file in /etc/network.d/
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'PRE_UP="sleep 5"
Could you think of a use for this?
POST_UP="ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.2 && ifconfig eth0:1 10.10.10.4"')

[moonman]

It didn't really have any effect. Still takes 10 min to get an ip. Ifconfig... I dunno 10.10.10.4 is already being broadcast to by etconsole in the kernel, 10.10.10.2 I guess can be setup to broadcast a DHCP acquired address.

I've now discovered that as well as breaking Automounting of external drives, this version won't mount an internal drive EXT2 partition:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'EXT4-fs (sda2): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities')
Oh, bugger...

[moonman]

ext2 drive or ext3 drive because you are mounting it as ext3. For automounting: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4376&start=10#p24167

[pepedog]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')XT4-fs (sda2): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities

[BrianM]

I'm not "mounting it as EXT3" the mount command is trying to use EXT4 to mount it as EXT3 when it is EXT2
All I want to do is get my files accessible - not bothered about the broken Automount function or installing extra utils like udevil
I'll put the commands in FSTAB - I don't change things often enough to worry
If you can help me with mount switches or whatever I need, that'd be grand, thanks.

[moonman]

udev-automount is broken since the switch to systemd, udevil is the new way.

Anyway,

nano /etc/fstab

and add something like this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '/')dev/sdX# /media/<mountpoint> ext2 noatime 0 0
