3) What are the big gaps that it doesn't currently do, compared to sysvinit? I hear of things like encrypted LVM volumes not working being dismissed as unimportant. I'll start you off with "password agents to do interactive things during service startup, eg openvpn passwords" (bnc675406): http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents
read-only /usr mounts I believe were dismissed as unimportant as well
They can't work reliably, and never worked reliably for any non-trivial setup. They did not in the recent past, and never will in the future. Anybody who still claims that hasn't look into any of the non-interesting details of the current reality.
We just require that /usr is mounted from initramfs, when systemd is started, nobody cares where /usr comes from or if its writable.
The time where we boot up with only 30% of the system available, start stuff referencing /usr and silently fail, but pretending stuff will still work, is now over.
What about NFS-mounted /usr? I actually fixed some minor problems with sysvinitscripts and made sure it worked when it came up last time on this list that /usr over NFS was "broken". -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
