Description Tomasz Paweł Gajc 2015-05-24 19:28:13 UTC
Systemd-220 with OpenMandriva Lx 3 using dracut-041

After rebuilding initrd to get use of new systemd, my system stop to boot on initrd stage.

Systemd boot drop to dracut shell and i get error:
systemd-fsck-root.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-fsck: No such file or directory

systemctl status systemd-fsck-root.service points to a file /run/systemd/generator/systemd-fsck-root.service which contain this:


ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-fsck /dev/disk/by-uuid/SOME-UUID

Above is wrong, because systemd-fsck lives in /lib/systemd because of used --split-usr


Please fix this, as this is a regression from 219.

Thanks.

For a future releases, it would be nice to at least to a give mimimal testing for systemd how it performs on a real installation, jut to avoid such issues.

We do test systemd regularly, but not in all configurations, and not in the specific configuration chosen by OpenMandriva. And we cannot really do that, as we have so many options that explode the test matrix.

We rely on downstream to test things for us in the configuration they need if they want their configuration to be first class supported. We of course try to keep things working for everybody in all configurations, but this will break unless tested, and we don't have the manpower to test all ourselves.

Lennart i appreciate your concern, please notice there are still few distros out there which are using --split-usr. You are still supporting this feature, so testing is also required.

Anyways thanks for resolving this.

No. We support this only to the level the community is willing to test this. We will not test this in the systemd core team, we do not use any distro that still needs that.

Ok i understand that. For i furthere releases of systemd i'll try to do more testing before i mush new version for OpenMandriva.
