[Bug 854348] New: purge-kernels feature missing in dracut
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854348 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854348#c0 Summary: purge-kernels feature missing in dracut Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Factory Version: 13.2 Milestone 0 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: m4ng4n@gmx.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 When installing dracut instead of mkinitrd old kernels are not being purged anymore when the multiversion.kernels feature is activated in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf. The file /boot/do_purge_kernels is correctly generated by a new kernel installation. The files /sbin/purge-kernels, /etc/systemd/system/runlevel5.target.wants/purge-kernels.service (and probably some more) are being deinstalled together with mkinitrd when switching from mkinitrd to dracut. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install dracut 2. activate multiversion.kernels in zypp.conf 3. install new kernel 4. reboot Actual Results: Old kernel(s) not being deleted Expected Results: Old kernels will be deleted -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

>From what I can see /sbin/purge-kernels should work for dracut as well.
You can either:
1) Uninstall dracut:
rpm -e dracut --nodeps
2) Install mkinitrd:
zypper install mkinitrd
3) cp purge-kernels script away:
cp /sbin/purge-kernels /tmp
4 Install dracut again:
rpm -e mkinitrd --nodeps
zypper install dracut
or even better: I built a dracut package simply adding /sbin/purge-kernels from
mkinitrd:
ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/dracut_purge_kernels
Does this one solve your problem?

A patch - mentioned here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=820367 in Comment #6 - has to be applied to the script. 2.) /usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service was disabled and has to be activated manually whether in Yast -> System -> Service-Manager or by entering "systemctl start purge-kernels.service" in a terminal. Otherwise it won't work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I will add Michal's patch as well 2.) Enabling systemd services right now is stupid, compare with: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Systemd_packaging_guidelines "Enabling service" For me in a 13.1 installation there is: enable purge-kernels.service added to: /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/90-default-openSUSE.preset which is part of: rpm -ql systemd-presets-branding-openSUSE-0.3.0-3.1.2.noarch package. Can you double check whether this is the case for you as well. If not, can you add above line there and re-install the package (or tell me and I can point to a package with Michal's patch to handle git kernels). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854348 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854348#c6 --- Comment #6 from Andreas Prittwitz <m4ng4n@gmx.de> 2013-12-21 12:34:03 UTC --- You're welcome. Here are the steps I undertook to check purge-kernels behaviour and what resulted from my actions: 1. Did a fresh install of factory to exclude all errors resulting from me tinkering with the system settings. 2. Dracut was installed by zypper during the upgrade to factory so I just added the patched purge-kernels script to /sbin. /usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service was already present 3. I checked that /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/90-default-openSUSE.preset included the line "enable purge-kernels.service" and it did. I also discovered that the file /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset/99-default-disable.preset includes the line "disable *" Does that mean, that all services are disabled again? I don't understand this. 4. Installed a new kernel and rebooted. The oldest kernel did not get deleted. The file /boot/do_purge_kernels was still present 5. Rebooted a second time to make sure the command in 3. could be executed properly by the system. Oldest kernel and /boot/do_purge_kernels still present 6. Typed the following command in a Terminal: "systemctl status purge-kernels.service" which gave the following message: "purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead)" 7. Typed the following command in a Terminal: "systemctl enable purge-kernels.service" ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/purge-kernels.service' and rebooted again 8. After the reboot the oldest kernel and /boot/do_purge_kernels were gone 9. Typed the following command in a Terminal: "systemctl status purge-kernels.service purge-kernels.service - Purge old kernels Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/purge-kernels.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Sat 2013-12-21 13:09:58 CET; 30s ago Process: 1846 ExecStart=/sbin/purge-kernels (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 711 ExecStartPre=/bin/rm -f /boot/do_purge_kernels (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 1846 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/purge-kernels.service Dec 21 13:09:58 factory-gnome-test purge-kernels[1846]: Removed: Dec 21 13:09:58 factory-gnome-test purge-kernels[1846]: kernel-desktop-3.11.6...

Sorry if I have pointed to something wrong. If the updated package is part of the new 13.2 media purge-kernels should be enabled automatically. Thanks a lot for the detailed tests and descriptions. -> closing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
