Damn, there is a typo: "Expected Results: Proper remounting of / with write support. As the old baselayout did and the baselayout does!" should be "Expected Results: Proper remounting of / with write support. As the old baselayout did and the ~arch baselayout2 does!" We don't document baselayout2/openRC in the rest of our documents, as we don't doc ~arch packages for sanity's sake. The only place you'll find openrc/baselayout2 stuff is in the migration guide. I'll close this one, for the reason above, and it sounds like your bug is really with the behavior of baselayout/openRC itself. Be sure to open a new one and assign it to base-system@ so that they can fix its mount and/or r/w behavior.

The only place you'll find > openrc/baselayout2 stuff is in the migration guide. I guess you completely misread this bug? It's not about documenting ~arch but about stable being broken (while ~arch baselayout/openrc works fine for the reporter). > After upgrading to baselayout2 (with openrc) everything works as planned, so I > think there is a fault in current stable baselayout, which was introduced > after baselayout-1.12.1 (the one from my old system, working just fine) After upgrading to baselayout2 (with openrc) everything works as planned, so I think there is a fault in current stable baselayout, which was introduced after baselayout-1.12.1 (the one from my old system, working just fine) So either the docs are broken with stable, or stable baselayout is broken, but I don't see why's this bug INVALID?

The only place you'll find > openrc/baselayout2 stuff is in the migration guide. I hade a typo in one small part of the bug, but i thought i invested enough time and information into the rest so that it would be clear on which system the guide worked, on which it doesnt and how i overcome that problem... (See my additional comment #1!) Abstract in one sentence: It worked with baselayout-1.12.1 (from 2006!), it does not work with baselayout-1.12.13 (current stable), it works again with baselayout2! So diskless howto lacks information or the current stable baselayout is broken. > I'll close this one, for the reason above, and it sounds like your bug is > really with the behavior of baselayout/openRC itself.

On top of that, the example client fstab uses "rsize=8192,wsize=8192" for /. That works well in the old baselayout-1.12.1, but not in the stable layout. (But removing these options does not solve the problem i initially reported. These options work for all other nfs mountpoints, but not for /) So either the diskless-howto or the baselayout need some love. Ok, I can see where the confusion derived from: My emerge --info states I am using baselayout2 and I did not specifically say that the problem happens with baselayout-1.12.13 (Again: The upgrade to ~arch was to work around the problem) Please be assured that my complaint refers to a complete stable x86 system without anything installed from ~arch! In the forum topic a guy named TNJI seems to have stumbled upon the same issue and as I understand him he solved it by omitting the entry for / in fstab entirely. Sorry for not being clear enough! So, is anything going to happen? Short summary: Bug happens with stable baselayout and the diskless howto "as is". Are you waiting for baselayout2 to become stable? Then say so. I don't see anything resembling a solution on this bug that worked for you with baselayout 1. If there's no solution, then this bug will have to be closed. Please post your solution on this bug. I don't have time to browse through forum threads looking for possible solutions that worked for *other* people, I want to know if you found a solution for *yourself*. Closing as baselayout2 is stable for all involved architectures |
