mdraid/lvm/localmount order

deptree file

Synced as of a few hours ago (first hours of 2008-03-08, UTC).

After figuring out that openrc now wants /lowercase/ rc_* in the conf.d files, I got the starting sequence of mdraid/lvm/localmount correct (in that order). However, when I shutdown, openrc tries to shut down mdraid first, which of course doesn't work because lvm is still running on top of it, and localmount on top of lvm.

I'm attaching /lib/rc/init.d/deptree. (Whether this is rc or initscripts with a circular dependency or the like I don't know, so I'm calling it rc and attaching the deptree, hopefully covering both.)

I'd call this major or above except that mdraid seems decently robust, and seems to do the right thing anyway. However, I don't wish to depend on it continuing to do that when things aren't stopping in the right order.

Please attach the conf.d files where you define the service ordering.

Well, this isn't an attach, but it may do the trick. If you need the files, do you want all of them listed here, or just lvm and perhaps ntp-client, since they are the only ones with conf.d ordering in them? (There's no uncommented ordering in /etc/rc.conf, either.)

grep rc_ /etc/conf.d/*
/etc/conf.d/device-mapper:rc_after="lvm"
/etc/conf.d/lvm:rc_after="mdraid"
/etc/conf.d/ntp-client:rc_need="net.eth0"
/etc/conf.d/ntpd:rc_need="ntp-client net.eth0"
/etc/conf.d/syslog-ng:rc_config="/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf"

Try changing rc_after to rc_use

The ebuild in portage now support the old uppercase vars for this, so marking as fixed.
