Dear Maintainer,
I've found two issues with the stage 1 file you are shipping with 2.1.11
first: touch/chmod on /run/runit.stopit is done too early in the boot process,
/run is not yet mounted
(not in the title, just don't want to open another bug as i'm attaching
a
stage1 example that fixes both)
second: GRUB menu has two line for each kernel, and the second one is supposed
to boot you into an
emergency sell, but runit has no support for that so it turns out into
a regular boot.
I think that a working emergency shell is a "must-have" feature,
expecially untill runit
suport within Debian is still in development.
the following example of stage 1 file works for me
-------------------------------
$ cat /etc/runit/1
#!/bin/sh
# system one time tasks
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
# starting initscripts
for initdir in /etc/rcS.d ; do
for script in "$initdir/S"* ; do
path=$(realpath "$script")
name=$(basename "$path")
"$script" start
done
done
unset path name
# now /run is mounted
touch /run/runit.stopit
chmod 0 /run/runit.stopit
# single mode emergency shell, if requested in GRUB menu
if grep -q -w -i "single" /proc/cmdline
then
echo "Give root password for maintenance or press CONTROL-D to continue"
sulogin
fi
# starting sevices not yet-migrated to runit
for servicedir in /etc/rc2.d ; do
for script in "$servicedir/S"* ; do
path=$(realpath "$script")
name=$(basename "$path")
[ -d "/etc/sv/$name" ] || "$script" start
done
done
unset path name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm aware that a proper support for emergency shell is more complex than this (
a single runlevel with
a sulogin service and some code that select the runlevel to boot into ) but in
the meantime could you
evaluate the example and eventually (if it looks ok to you) add it to runit?
Anyway, thank you for maintaining runit!
Lorenzo
