Marc Weber fdc63c54e4 enhance phpIni documentation
readd r19267 (the issue should be fixed now)

Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)

Eelco Dolstra c9e4b46d48 * Ugly hack: for CIFS mounts, retry the mount a few times (just as in
pkgs/build-support/vm).  This should make the NixOS regression tests
  more robust on heavily loaded systems, where they now frequently
  fail:

  server# mounting //10.0.2.4/qemu on /hostfs...
  server# [    8.233991] Slow work thread pool: Starting up
  server# [    8.234721] Slow work thread pool: Ready
  server# [   23.271708]  CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 114 mid 1
  server# [   23.272443]  CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
  server# mount: Host is down
  server# [   23.275188] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

  Maybe there is a configurable timeout somewhere, which would be much
  nicer...

Eelco Dolstra 170331be30 * Don't use /hostfs to signal the test driver that a VM is up, but
write some magic string to ttyS0.  This removes the dependency on
  having a CIFS mount.
* Use a thread to process the stdout/stderr of each QEMU instance.
* Add a kernel command line parameter "stage1panic" to tell stage 1 to
  panic if an error occurs.  This is faster than waiting until
  connect() times out.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 483ee6219e Fixing the shutdown script, for the not-that-strange case of having
/nix bind mounted from a fs not rootfs.

As niksnut found, if the sources of bind mounted directories are
umounted before remounting them as "ro", a "mount -o remount,ro" on the
bind targets will not leave the filesystem properly umounted, the same
way as a "-o remount,ro" would do on a usual filesystem.

So, the trick of always remounting as 'ro' before attempting an umount seems
to fix the problem.

Eelco Dolstra 8d588424d2 * switch-to-configuration: force a reinstallation of GRUB whenever the
GRUB version changes.  (That's the complete version from the name
  attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.)  The current
  version is recorded in /boot/grub/version.  This is required to
  prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
  boot.loader.grub.version to "2".

Eelco Dolstra 6c9059e717 * Added an option `boot.initrd.availableKernelModules' that specifies
modules that should be added to the initrd, but should only be
  loaded on demand (e.g. by the kernel or by udev).  This is
  especially useful in the installation CD, where we now only load the
  modules needed by the hardware.
* Enable automatic modprobing by udev in the initrd.

Eelco Dolstra 9bf8801dc6 * Use a tmpfs for /var/run/nscd to ensure that / or /var can be
unmounted or at least remounted read-only during shutdown.  Upstart
  0.6 apparently uses nscd to do some name lookups, resulting in it
  holding some mmap mappings to deleted files in /var/run/nscd.
  E.g. lsof shows:

    init         1 root  DEL       REG              253,0          1850313 /var/run/nscd/dbyn3Piz
    init         1 root  DEL       REG              253,0          1850312 /var/run/nscd/dbt2e8PH

  See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324900.
  This is a workaround - it would be better if Upstart didn't do this.

2009-11-06 21:17:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 82c3e2aa50 * Updated poweroff/reboot/maintenance mode for Upstart 0.6. Upstart
no longer emits specific events for those.  Instead it emits a
  "runlevel" event.  The "runlevel" task starts the "shutdown" task to
  perform the desired action.
* Upstart 0.6 no longer has a "shutdown" event, so "stop on shutdown"
  no longer works.  Therefore the shutdown task explicitly stops all
  running Upstart jobs, before sending a TERM/KILL signal to all
  remaining processes.
* Do a "chvt 1" at the start of the shutdown task to switch to the
  console.
* Use /dev/console instead of /dev/tty1, since if somebody is logged
  in on tty1, bad things will happen.

Eelco Dolstra 903e92bde6 * Use Upstart's "export fork" feature to properly detect when a daemon
is "ready".  This prevents ugly race conditions, e.g. HAL failing to
  start because dbus hasn't finished starting yet.
* Support post-start scripts.  These are executed after the job's main
  process has started but before the job's "started" event is
  emitted.  For instance, the udev job uses this to perform "udevadm
  trigger / settle" to create all devices.  Previously this had to be
  done in the pre-start script, so the daemon had to started in the
  pre-start script as well.
