<p>
|
| 41 |
Baselayout provides a basic set of files that are necessary for all systems to
|
| 42 |
function properly, such as <path>/etc/hosts</path>. It also provides the basic
|
| 43 |
filesystem layout used by Gentoo (i.e. <path>/etc</path>, <path>/var</path>,
|
| 44 |
<path>/usr</path>, <path>/home</path> directories).

<title>What's OpenRC?</title>
|
| 52 |
<body>
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
<p>
|
| 55 |
OpenRC is a dependency-based rc system that works with whatever init is provided
|
| 56 |
by the system, normally <path>/sbin/init</path>. However, it is <e>not</e> a
|
| 57 |
replacement for <path>/sbin/init</path>. The default init used by Gentoo Linux
|
| 58 |
is <c>sys-apps/sysvinit</c>, while Gentoo/FreeBSD uses the FreeBSD init provided
|
| 59 |
by <c>sys-freebsd/freebsd-sbin</c>.

<title>So why migrate?</title>
|
| 67 |
<body>
|
| 68 |
|

<p>
|
| 70 |
Originally Gentoo's rc system was built into baselayout 1 and written entirely
|
| 71 |
in bash. This led to several limitations. For example, certain system calls need
|
| 72 |
to be accessed during boot and this required C-based callouts to be added. These
|
| 73 |
callouts were each statically linked, causing the rc system to bloat over time.
|
| 74 |
</p>
|
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
<p>
|
| 77 |
Additionally, as Gentoo expanded to other platforms like
|
| 78 |
Gentoo/FreeBSD and Gentoo Embedded, it became impossible to require a bash-based
|
| 79 |
rc system. This led to a development of baselayout 2, which is written in
|
| 80 |
C and only requires a POSIX-compliant shell. During the development of
|
| 81 |
baselayout 2, it was determined that it was a better fit if baselayout merely
|
| 82 |
provided the base files and filesystem layout for Gentoo and the rc system
|
| 83 |
was broken off into its own package. Thus we have OpenRC.
|
| 84 |
</p>
|
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
<p>
|
| 87 |
OpenRC is primarily developed by <uri link="http://roy.marples.name/openrc">Roy
|
| 88 |
Marples</uri> and supports all current Gentoo variations (i.e. Gentoo Linux,
|
| 89 |
Gentoo/FreeBSD, Gentoo Embedded, and Gentoo Vserver) and other platforms such as
|
| 90 |
FreeBSD and NetBSD.

<title>Migration to OpenRC</title>

<p>
|
| 102 |
Migration to OpenRC is fairly straightforward; it will be pulled in as part of
|
| 103 |
your regular upgrade process by your package manager. The most important step
|
| 104 |
actually comes after you install the new <c>>=sys-apps/baselayout-2</c> and
|
| 105 |
<c>sys-apps/openrc</c> packages. It is <e>critical</e> that you run
|
| 106 |
<c>dispatch-conf</c> and ensure your <path>/etc</path> is up to date before
|
| 107 |
rebooting. <brite>Failure to do so will result in an unbootable system</brite>
|
| 108 |
and will require the use of the Gentoo LiveCD to perform the steps below to
|
| 109 |
repair your system.
|
| 110 |
</p>
|
| 111 |
|
| 112 |
<p>
|
| 113 |
Once you've finished updating your config files, there are a few things to
|
| 114 |
verify prior to rebooting.

<p>
|

<path>/etc/conf.d/rc</path> has been deprecated and any settings you have in
|
| 125 |
there will need to be migrated to the appropriate settings in
|
| 126 |
<path>/etc/rc.conf</path>. Please read through <path>/etc/rc.conf</path> and
|
| 127 |
<path>/etc/conf.d/rc</path> and migrate the settings. Once you are complete,
|
| 128 |
delete <path>/etc/conf.d/rc</path>.

<title>Kernel modules</title>
|
| 135 |
<body>
|
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
<p>
|
| 138 |
Normally, when you want certain kernel modules automatically loaded at boot, you
|
| 139 |
place them into <path>/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6</path> along with any
|
| 140 |
parameters you wanted to pass to them. In baselayout-2, this file is not used
|
| 141 |
anymore. Instead, autoloaded modules and module parameters are placed in one
|
| 142 |
file, <path>/etc/conf.d/modules</path>, no matter the kernel version.
|
| 143 |
</p>
|
| 144 |
|
| 145 |
<p>
|
| 146 |
An example old style configuration would be:
|
| 147 |
</p>
|
| 148 |
|
| 149 |
<pre caption="/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6">
|
| 150 |
ivtv
|
| 151 |
cx88_dvb video_br=2
|
| 152 |
</pre>
|
| 153 |
|
| 154 |
<p>
|
| 155 |
Converting the above example would result in the following:
|
| 156 |
</p>
|
| 157 |
|
| 158 |
<pre caption="/etc/conf.d/modules">
|
| 159 |
<comment># Modules autoloaded at boot</comment>
|
| 160 |
modules_2_6="ivtv cx88_dvb"
|
| 161 |
<comment># Module parameters</comment>
|
| 162 |
module_cx88_dvb_args_2_6="video_br=2"
|
| 163 |
</pre>
|
| 164 |
|
| 165 |
<p>
|
| 166 |
In the above examples, the modules and their parameters would only be passed
|
| 167 |
to 2.6.x series kernels. The new configuration allows for fine grained
|
| 168 |
control over the modules and parameters based on kernel version.
|
| 169 |
</p>
|
| 170 |
|
| 171 |
<impo>
|
| 172 |
The <b>module*</b> variables are not cumulative. The more version-specific
|
| 173 |
variables will override the more general variables.
|
| 174 |
</impo>
|
| 175 |
|
| 176 |
<note>
|
| 177 |
Please note the difference between <b>module_</b> and <b>modules_</b>.
|
| 178 |
</note>
|
| 179 |
|

|

<p>
|
| 209 |
The <c>boot</c> runlevel performs several important steps for every machine. For
|
| 210 |
example, making sure your root filesystem is mounted read/write, that your
|
| 211 |
filesystems are checked for errors, that your mountpoints are available, and
|
| 212 |
that the <path>/proc</path> pseudo-filesystem is started at boot.
|
| 213 |
</p>
|
| 214 |
|
| 215 |
<p>
|
| 216 |
With OpenRC, volume management services for your block storage devices are no
|
| 217 |
longer run automatically at boot. This includes lvm, raid, swap, device-mapper
|
| 218 |
(dm), dm-crypt, evms, and the like. You must ensure the appropriate initscript
|
| 219 |
for these services is in the <c>boot</c> runlevel, otherwise it's possible that
|
| 220 |
your system will not boot!
|
| 221 |
</p>
|
| 222 |
|
| 223 |
<p>
|
| 224 |
While the OpenRC ebuild will attempt to do this migration for you, you should
|
| 225 |
verify that it migrated all the volume management services properly:
|
| 226 |
</p>
|
| 227 |
|
| 228 |
<pre caption="Display all services in boot runlevel">
|
| 229 |
# <i>ls -l /etc/runlevels/boot/</i>
|
| 230 |
</pre>
|
| 231 |
|
| 232 |
<p>
|
| 233 |
If you don't see root, procfs, mtab, swap, and fsck in the above listing,
|
| 234 |
perform the following to add them to the <c>boot</c> runlevel:
|
| 235 |
</p>
|
| 236 |
|
| 237 |
<pre caption="Adding critical services to the boot runlevel">
|

# <i>rc-update add root boot</i>

# <i>rc-update add procfs boot</i>

# <i>rc-update add mtab boot</i>

# <i>rc-update add fsck boot</i>
|

# <i>rc-update add swap boot</i>
|
| 243 |
</pre>
|
| 244 |
|
| 245 |
<p>
|
| 246 |
If you know you use mdraid and lvm but do not see them above, you would run
|
| 247 |
the following to add initscripts to the <c>boot</c> runlevel:
|
| 248 |
</p>
|

|

<body>
|

<p>
|
| 262 |
OpenRC no longer starts <c>udev</c> by default, but it does need to be present
|
| 263 |
in the <c>sysinit</c> runlevel to be started. The OpenRC ebuild should detect if
|
| 264 |
<c>udev</c> was previously enabled and add it to the <c>sysinit</c> runlevel.
|
| 265 |
However, to be safe, check if <c>udev</c> is present:
|
| 266 |
</p>
|
| 267 |
|
| 268 |
<pre caption="Verifying udev">

|
| 272 |
</pre>
|
| 273 |
|
| 274 |
<p>
|

If <c>udev</c> is not listed, add it to the correct runlevel:

</p>
|

|
| 278 |
<pre caption="Adding udev to the sysinit runlevel">

<p>
|
| 289 |
Due to baselayout and OpenRC being broken into two different packages, your
|
| 290 |
net.eth0 initscript may disappear during the upgrade process. To replace this
|
| 291 |
initscript and re-add it to the default runlevel, please perform the
|
| 292 |
following:
|
| 293 |
</p>
|
| 294 |
|
| 295 |
<pre caption="Adding back missing net.eth0 script">
|
| 296 |
# <i>cd /etc/init.d</i>
|
| 297 |
# <i>ln -s net.lo net.eth0</i>
|
| 298 |
# <i>rc-update add net.edh0 default</i>
|
| 299 |
</pre>
|
| 300 |
|
| 301 |
<p>
|
| 302 |
If you are missing any other network initscripts, follow the instructions above
|
| 303 |
to re-add them. Simply replace <c>eth0</c> with the name of your network
|
| 304 |
device.
|
| 305 |
</p>
|
| 306 |
|
| 307 |
<p>
|
| 308 |
Also, <path>/etc/conf.d/net</path> (oldnet) no longer uses bash-style arrays
|
| 309 |
for configuration. Please review
|
| 310 |
<path>/usr/share/doc/openrc-<version>/net.example</path> for configuration
|
| 311 |
instructions. Conversion should be relatively straight-forward, converting to
|
| 312 |
newlines for seperate entries, for example a static IP assignment would change
|

as follows:

<title>Clock</title>
|
| 331 |
<body>
|
| 332 |
|
| 333 |
<p>
|
| 334 |
Clock settings have been renamed from <path>/etc/conf.d/clock</path> to your
|
| 335 |
system's native tool for adjusting the clock. This means on Linux it will be
|
| 336 |
<path>/etc/conf.d/hwclock</path> and on FreeBSD it will be
|
| 337 |
<path>/etc/conf.d/adjkerntz</path>. Systems without a working real time clock
|
| 338 |
(RTC) chip should use <path>/etc/init.d/swclock</path>, which sets the system
|
| 339 |
time based on the mtime of a file which is created at system shutdown. The
|
| 340 |
initscripts in <path>/etc/init.d/</path> have also been renamed accordingly, so
|
| 341 |
make sure the appropriate script for your system has been added to the boot
|
| 342 |
runlevel.
|
| 343 |
</p>
|
| 344 |
|
| 345 |
<p>
|
| 346 |
Additionally, the <c>TIMEZONE</c> variable is no longer in this file. Its
|
| 347 |
contents are instead found in the <path>/etc/timezone</path> file. If it
|
| 348 |
doesn't exist, you will of course have to create it with your timezone. Please
|
| 349 |
review both of these files to ensure their correctness.
|
| 350 |
</p>
|
| 351 |
|
| 352 |
<p>
|
| 353 |
The proper value for this file is the path relative to your timezone from
|
| 354 |
<path>/usr/share/zoneinfo</path>. For example, for someone living on the east
|
| 355 |
coast of the United States, the following would be a correct setting:

The XSESSION variable is no longer found in <path>/etc/rc.conf</path>. Instead,

you can set the XSESSION variable per-user in <path>~/.bashrc</path> (or

Previously, you could log the boot process by using
|
| 417 |
<c>app-admin/showconsole</c>. However, OpenRC now handles all logging
|
| 418 |
internally, so there's no need for the hacks that <c>showconsole</c> employed.
|
| 419 |
You can safely unmerge <c>showconsole</c>. To continue logging boot messages,
|
| 420 |
just set the appropriate variable in <path>/etc/rc.conf</path>. Logs will appear
|
| 421 |
in <path>/var/log/rc.log</path>.

<title>System sub-types: Virtualization special cases</title>
|
| 432 |
<body>
|
| 433 |
|
| 434 |
<p>
|
| 435 |
In the early versions of OpenRC, we explictly detected multiple types of
|
| 436 |
virtualization, and used that detection to note when certain init scripts
|
| 437 |
should be skipped, using the <b>keyword</b> call in the <b>depend</b>
|
| 438 |
functions.
|
| 439 |
</p>
|
| 440 |
|
| 441 |
<p>
|
| 442 |
However, as of the 0.7.0 release, you are required to explicitly configure the
|
| 443 |
sub-type using the <b>rc_sys</b> variable in <path>/etc/rc.conf</path>. The
|
| 444 |
sub-type should be set to match the virtualization environment that the given
|
| 445 |
root is in. In general, the non-empty <b>rc_sys</b> value should be within the
|
| 446 |
virtual containers; The host node will have <b>rc_sys=""</b>.
|
| 447 |
</p>
|
| 448 |
|
| 449 |
<impo>
|
| 450 |
If you do not have any specific sub-type, please use the default of an empty
|
| 451 |
string <b>""</b>. If the variable is unset, you will be given a warning and we
|
| 452 |
will attempt to use the old detection algorithm.
|
| 453 |
</impo>
|
| 454 |
|
| 455 |
<note>
|
| 456 |
If you do not know what value your system was using with the automatic
|
| 457 |
detection, you should temporarily comment out the <b>rc_sys</b> variable and
|
| 458 |
run the detection command, <c>rc -S</c>.
|
| 459 |
</note>
|
| 460 |
|
| 461 |
<pre caption="Setting system sub-type to none in /etc/rc.conf">

rc_sys=""
|
| 463 |
</pre>
|
| 464 |
|
| 465 |
<p>
|
| 466 |
The detection algorithm had to be replaced with manual configuration due to
|
| 467 |
the introduction of new sub-types and changes to the kernel that made prior
|
| 468 |
detection unreliable.

<p>
|
| 526 |
Once you've finished updating your config files and initscripts, the last thing
|
| 527 |
to do is <b>reboot</b>. This is necessary because system state information is
|
| 528 |
not preserved during the upgrade, so you'll need to provide it with a fresh
|
| 529 |
boot.

<body>

|

<p>
|
| 543 |
Previously it was possible to temporarily stop a service without taking down all
|
| 544 |
the depending services by using <c>/etc/init.d/service pause</c>. In OpenRC, the
|
| 545 |
<c>pause</c> action was removed; this functionality is supported by the
|
| 546 |
<c>/etc/init.d/service --nodeps stop</c>, which also works in the old
|
| 547 |
baselayout.

<title>rootfs entry in /etc/mtab</title>
|
| 554 |
<body>
|
| 555 |
|
| 556 |
<p>
|
| 557 |
Previously, the initial <b>rootfs</b> entry was removed from
|
| 558 |
<path>/etc/mtab</path>, and only the real root <path>/</path> entry was
|
| 559 |
present. The duplicate rootfs item was actually added back during shutdown.
|
| 560 |
In OpenRC, both entries must be present for full support of initramfs and
|
| 561 |
tmpfs-on-root. This also means that less writing is required during shutdown.
