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.
What fails? Can you give some relevant examples? As far as I'm aware, anything that runs before boot.localfs should only use things in /bin /sbin or /lib and anything that runs that early that references /usr is just broken Can you point to any bug reports of things breaking when /usr is mounted read- only?
We just require that /usr is mounted from initramfs, when systemd is started, nobody cares where /usr comes from or if its writable.
initramfs? Are you suggesting sticking that thing into the initrd? Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
