Eelco Dolstra 4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.

Eelco Dolstra 6f03065dce * Move the setting of $MODULE_DIR to modprobe.nix.
* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod.  (Not
  that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
  you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store.  But at least
  commands like "depmod -n" work now.)  Reported by Kirill Elagin on
  IRC.

Eelco Dolstra b1fd71038e * Slight speedup. It's amazing how quickly shell scripts become
slow: calling basename in a loop somewhere has a noticable impact on

Eelco Dolstra 362d1389d3 * mountall: make the "console output" Upstart stanza do its work. We
were redirecting output to /var/log/upstart/<job>, so it didn't work
  properly.
* mountall-ip-up: send the USR1 signal to the mountall process by
  looking up its PID, rather than doing "pkill -USR1 mountall".  This
  prevents a very subtle race condition where USR1 is delivered to a
  child process of mountall (such as fsck), if pkill sees the child
  just before its execve().  There is actually still a race condition
  because mountall installs its USR1 handler *after* daemonising, so
  mountall-ip-up could accidentally kill mountall.  Should report this
  to upstream.

Eelco Dolstra 2cc8d0363e * Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules to udev's postStart.
It needs udevd to be running because the modules may require
  firmware.  Thanks to Mathijs and Arie for pointing this out.

Eelco Dolstra 86d8d62d16 * Allow Upstart jobs to declare that they shouldn't be restarted by
switch-to-configuration.  E.g. the X server shouldn't be restarted
  because that kills all the X clients.

svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=33223
2012-03-18 02:10:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3495a773f9 * Improved Upstart job handling in switch-to-configuration. It no
longer compares the current configuration to the previous
  configuration, but instead compares the current Upstart state to the
  intended state.  Thus, if the switch script is interrupted, running
  nixos-rebuild again will resume starting/stopping Upstart jobs where
  the previous run left off.

  We determine if an Upstart job has changed by having the pre-start
  script of each Upstart job put a symlink to its .conf file in
  /var/run/upstart-jobs.  So if this symlink differs from the target
  of /etc/init/<job>.conf, then the job has changed.  This also
  prevents multiple restarts of dependent jobs.  E.g., if job B has
  "start on started A" and "stop on stopping A", then restarting A
  will cause B to be restarted, so B shouldn't B restarted a second
  time.

  We only start jobs that are not running if 1) they're tasks that
  have been previously run (like mountall); or 2) they're jobs that
  have a "start on" condition.  This seems a reasonable heuristic.

Eelco Dolstra ee6c9bb998 * Provide two utility functions in Upstart jobs: "ensure JOBNAME"
starts the given job and waits until it's running; "stop_check"
  checks that the current job hasn't been asked to stop.

Eelco Dolstra 573877c1ac * Use boot.kernelModules everywhere instead of explicit calls to
modprobe.
* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
  the activation script.  This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
  exists.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell dd6eb81797 Adding /etc/mdadm.conf, with the contents supplied at boot.initrd.mdadmConf.
This allows setting a fixed device name per array, thus ensuring that at boot,
the arrays will always be mounted with the same names. I think this allows
solving the problem of grub getting confused about softraid device names
(prefix and root), if the devices always get the same naming at initrd.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell bbebba68f7 A more friendly stage1, with interactive bash, busybox plenty of tools, etc.
I set it as default because users can benefit of this without having to prepare

size increase.

It can be disabled with 'boot.initrd.withExtraTools = false'.

Eelco Dolstra 03ebb883d1 * Modularize filesystem support. Filesystems such as btrfs and

  unconditional.
