Bug 547016 – sys-apps/openrc-0.13.11:wrong statement in /etc/rc.conf about hotplugging

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Toralf Förster 2015-04-18 18:02:16 UTC]

It claims in line 29 :

# By default we do not allow hotplugging.

But in fact I have to add 

rc_hotplug="pcscd !net.*"

do avoid /lib64/udev/rules.d/90-network.rules to fire up ethernet and wlan

Do you, by any chance, have any net.* services in your runlevels? What
about pcscd? is it in your runlevels?

The net are in "default", andpcscd is in "nonetwork" so it is stopped usually:
t44 ~ # /etc/init.d/pcscd status
 * status: stopped

(which reminds me to remove it from "nonetwork")
Furthermore:

t44 ~ # rc-update  | grep -e pcs -e net
               auditd |      default nonetwork
          consolefont |      default nonetwork
                local |      default nonetwork
              net.br0 |      default
          net.enp0s25 |      default
               net.lo |      default
           net.wlp3s0 |      default
                pcscd |              nonetwork
               smartd |      default nonetwork
            syslog-ng |      default nonetwork

If the net.* services are in the runlevel, they will be started at that
point. The way to tell they were hotplugged is to look at rc-status, and
if they show up in the "hotplugged" runlevel they were hotplugged.

Also, can you upgrade to 0.18.3 and let me know if this still is
happening?

Also, look at the fix for #554540 and let me know if that makes the
documentation make more sense. I suspect that the documentation issue
could be erelated to this bug.

I'm at 0.17 now since awhile which works fine and flawlessly.
