drakx/rescue/tree, branch 2.59

explain how to debug

2020-06-16T10:35:50+00:00

do not preload all fs modules uselessly

2020-03-19T14:46:22+00:00

Enable udevd in rescue system to support lvm2 (mga#24878).

rescue: Move files around and introduce proper dep tracking.

2013-12-07T18:32:06+00:00

This moves any perl files into bin and sbin folders which will be directly installed
in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin. This is done such that the extract modes in list.xml still
work and the files end up in the right places.

All other files have been moved into the tree folder in their final destination.

rescue: add machined (and dbus as a dep) to the rescue.

This allows us to actually mount and run the system inside a container for
more advanced debugging.

I've successfully booted my systemd, logged in, had a fiddle and then
powered it off again. There are some delays and it's requried to umount
the /mnt/proc which seems to get automatically mounted before running
nspawn. Also audit support has to be turned off in the kernel too to
allow a full boot to work properly (otherwise the authentication in
the container doesn't work. This is a known problem in the kernel and
will be fixed eventually.

rescue: Use systemd as initsystem.

2013-12-07T18:32:06+00:00

This commit converts the rescue system to systemd rather than the legacy
sysvinit.

Besides being faster, one primary advantage of running systemd here is
that we can "boot" the system we're inspecting via systemd-nspawn
to properly test it.

Note: Bits that don't work:
 * nspawn
 * old dracut initqueue udev rules in /etc/ are not cleaned out (drop in
   support error?)
 * the gui may loop differently now

rescue: Avoid having to run dracut convertfs script by setting up the tree.

2013-12-07T17:16:59+00:00

We can easily avoid post processing the tree simply by moving the tree around
and ensuring we set it up correctly (with the compat symlinks) early in the
process.

install/rescue: Adapt to a dracut based stage1.

2013-10-29T20:29:08+00:00

The main change here is not remounting a fresh /run. Dracut does this
for us and we actually need to keep this one as the initial udev
database (when udev is started by dracut) is stored here and thus
mounting an empty fs could see us lose some metadata.

We no longer touch the /bin, /sbin or /lib[64] symlinks as these are
already relative symlinks into /usr and simply bind mounting /usr is
enough.

/usr/X11R6/bin is dead for years

2013-07-13T18:05:16+00:00

rescue: add a script to simplfy grabbing of journal logs for bug reports
