[gentoo-user] how to execute some scripts after an emerge
Hello! Are there hooks in portage with which I can execute some scripts after an emerge -u world? I need to check my libraries in the chroot jail :) I build for boinc today against their original counterparts in the file system. This would be nicer than having a cronjob looking after them at fixed intervals.

[SNIP]
Please explain what that script does, when exactly it is supposed to
run and why you think it needs to use a hook in portage...
Yes. I have 14 xen domains + 2 domUs and several services. Some of them
must run chrooted so I need to execute a script which compares
/chroot/boinc/etc /chroot/boinc/lib and so with their corresponding
files in /etc /lib and so. Thats the easy part. But having a hook
configurable in make.conf like this would maintaining the script easier:
PORTAGE_POST_EXECUTE=/root/bin/mychroottester.sh should fire when
emerge is totally done.
I understand that I can have a /etc/portage/bashrc but
if [[ ${EBUILD_PHASE} == postinst ]]; then ...
would fire after each package emerged. Maybe having a variable to test
against which shows that the execution of portage is all done
would do it. So if the last package is emerged and installed
if [[ ${EBUILD_ALL_INSTALLED} == true ]]
then /root/bin/mychroottester.sh
fi
would give a fine hook to execute my script or email notifications with
Software update done messages and whatever one likes.
What do you think?
Greetings,
Robert

Thus the USB enclosure can be used as a mobile storage device and can be plugged in on any Linux PC. You could set up a RAID-1 array on the two devices. Auto-detect RAID information is saved at the end of the device, so it can still be used as a standalone drive/partition when connected to something else. One advantage of RAID is that if you run with the device disconnected and then connect it, the RAID will be updated in the background. Yes, but syncing takes a lot time and should be observeved not to interrupt while in progress. You will need a script to notify you that syncing is done othewise you have a corrupt device. What about a perl script that just copies all files in /home/user to the device once it is plugged in? Robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thank you, Greetings, Robert You probably need to pass it some kernel option at boot like noacpi or something. Mike Well, when I boot with the original processor, everything works but with the Sonnet card booting hangs. Since Sonnet delivers some MacOS drivers with their card could it be that linux won't boot at all without some specific drivers? I mean, would a linux kernel run on this card in general or not?

Re: [gentoo-user] XEN on Gentoo, enough stable for production use ?
I have some problems with NFS on a domU. Having mounted my home partition on Dom0 from an nfs server on a domU I invoke an X-Session and get my e-mail from my server from another DomU with thunderbird. I get some 1000 mails a day. Sometimes suddenly all hangs and /var/log/messages tell me NFS server cannot be contacted. I can ping to the outside but I cannot ping each of my DomU's. My second xenified machine doesn't crash and runs several days now. but has neither an nfs server nor an X-server installed. I filed a bug today and do not mount my home partition from the nfs server anymore although every 2nd day a script connects to all my domains over ssh and does an emerge -update -deep world [+metadata] after --sync on the portage proxy over nfs, which is apparently the same nfs server my home partion came from. I will investigate that further and report if I still have problems. Greetings, Robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Xavier MOGHRABI wrote: Hi guys, I've learnt months ago the existing of Xen project. I think this kind of feature is really interesting for hosting heterogeous application, improve security of my system and reduce the maintain effort. I wonder if any of yours have already experienced Xen on Gentoo ? I wonder if Xen is enough stable to use in production ? Thanks in advance for your information. Hi. I use XEN (latest) without migration and have no big problems so far. The only big problem I had was to set up the network addresses of the domU's to their own subnet and to have dom0 routing instead of bridging. But that was to solve mainly with some websites which describes that task. And I disabled tx checksumming on the network interfaces in each domU to make the network go but this was discussed on the xen mailing list. My network speed from one xenized machine to another xenized machine is asymetric ( 30 MByte/s vs. 15 MByte/s (roughly) from DOM0 to DOM0, depending on the direction, measured with iperf ) on GB Ethernet but I believe that my hardware is the bottleneck, not XEN. I will further investigate the problem when I have some spare time. Robert BTW. I didn't use genkernel, I configured the kernel by hand. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
