Mr. Junjiro R. Okajima, thanks for the fixing of aubusy. Now the last question concerning the kernel message that appears during the Debian Desktop session log in.
1. Kernel messages In one of your last letter you asked for a more precisely explanation about the following questions: - When and how do you start the GNOME Desktop session? - When and why it invokes mount(8)? In following steps I will show you when I and how I start the GNOME Desktop session and when and why I invoke mount(8)? After the system start, the system boots directly into the GNOME Desktop graphical log in screen. From that screen I change with following key combination into the text based log in screen: [CTRL]+[ALT]+[F1] After the log in I run the following commands: $> sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop $> sudo invoke-rc.d network-manager stop $> sudo invoke-rc.d bluetooth stop $> sudo invoke-rc.d dbus stop $> sudo invoke-rc.d udev stop In the next step the script bldchraufs will be started: $> sudo /usr/local/sbin/bldchaufs The contents of the script bldchaufs is shown in the following rows: #!/bin/bash # Stop script on error. set -e # Create the chroot directory /tmp/jail. mkdir -p /tmp/jail # Build the AUFS union rootonaufs based on the bond of /. # Mount rootonaufs in /tmp/jail/. mkdir -p /tmp/jailcache.rw.root /tmp/jailcache.ro.root mount -o bind / /tmp/jailcache.ro.root mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/jailcache.rw.root:/tmp/jailcache.ro.root \ rootonaufs /tmp/jail/ # Build the AUFS union varonaufs based on the bond of /var. # Mount varonaufs in /tmp/jail/var. mkdir -p /tmp/jailcache.rw.var /tmp/jailcache.ro.var mount -o bind /var /tmp/jailcache.ro.var mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/jailcache.rw.var:/tmp/jailcache.ro.var \ varonaufs /tmp/jail/var # Build the AUFS union usronaufs based on the bond of /usr. # Mount usronaufs in /tmp/jail/usr. mkdir -p /tmp/jailcache.rw.usr /tmp/jailcache.ro.usr mount -o bind /usr /tmp/jailcache.ro.usr mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/jailcache.rw.usr:/tmp/jailcache.ro.usr \ usronaufs /tmp/jail/usr # Build the AUFS union usrlocalonaufs based on the bond of # /usr/local. # Mount usrlocalonaufs in /tmp/jail/usr/local. mkdir -p /tmp/jailcache.rw.usrlocal /tmp/jailcache.ro.usrlocal chmod g+ws /tmp/jailcache.rw.usrlocal chown 0:50 /tmp/jailcache.rw.usrlocal chmod g+ws /tmp/jailcache.ro.usrlocal chown 0:50 /tmp/jailcache.ro.usrlocal chmod g+ws /tmp/jail/usr/local chown 0:50 /tmp/jail/usr/local mount -o bind /usr/local /tmp/jailcache.ro.usrlocal mount -t aufs -o \ br:/tmp/jailcache.rw.usrlocal:/tmp/jailcache.ro.usrlocal \ usrlocalonaufs /tmp/jail/usr/local # Build the AUFS union bootonaufs based on the bond of /boot. # Mount bootonaufs in /tmp/jail/boot. mkdir -p /tmp/jailcache.rw.boot /tmp/jailcache.ro.boot mount -o bind /boot /tmp/jailcache.ro.boot mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/jailcache.rw.boot:/tmp/jailcache.ro.boot \ bootonaufs /tmp/jail/boot # Build the AUFS union homeonaufs based on the bond of /home. # Mount homeonaufs in /tmp/jail/home. mkdir -p /tmp/jailcache.rw.home /tmp/jailcache.ro.home chown 1000:1000 /tmp/jailcache.rw.home chown 1000:1000 /tmp/jailcache.ro.home chown 1000:1000 /tmp/jail/home mount -o bind /home /tmp/jailcache.ro.home mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/jailcache.rw.home:/tmp/jailcache.ro.home \ homeonaufs /tmp/jail/home # Build the AUFS union srvonaufs based on the bond of /srv. # Mount srvonaufs in /tmp/jail/srv. mkdir -p /tmp/jailcache.rw.srv /tmp/jailcache.ro.srv mount -o bind /srv /tmp/jailcache.ro.srv mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/jailcache.rw.srv:/tmp/jailcache.ro.srv \ srvonaufs /tmp/jail/srv # Mount proc in /tmp/jail/proc. mount -t proc -o rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev proconaufs /tmp/jail/proc # Mount sysfs in /tmp/jail/sys. mount -t sysfs -o rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev sysonaufs /tmp/jail/sys # Mount fusectl in /tmp/jail/sys/fs/fuse/connections. mount -t fusectl -o rw fusectlonaufs \ /tmp/jail/sys/fs/fuse/connections # Mount binfmt_misc in /tmp/jail/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc. mount -t binfmt_misc -o rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev binfmt_misconaufs \ /tmp/jail/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc # Bind /dev to /tmp/jail/dev. mount -o bind /dev /tmp/jail/dev # Bind /dev/pts to /tmp/jail/dev/pts. mount -o bind /dev/pts /tmp/jail/dev/pts # Bind /run to /tmp/jail/run. mount -o bind /run /tmp/jail/run # Bind /dev/shm to /tmp/jail/run/shm. mount -o bind /run/shm /tmp/jail/run/shm The above script creates a copy of the directory structure from the running system under the directory /tmp/jail. This is the chroot environment based on AUFS. The following command changed the file mode of the directory /tmp that lives in the chroot environment: $> sudo chroot /tmp/jail chmod 1777 /tmp With the following commands I restart the stopped daemons but now I do that in the chroot environment: $> sudo chroot /tmp/jail invoke-rc.d udev start $> sudo chroot /tmp/jail invoke-rc.d dbus start $> sudo chroot /tmp/jail invoke-rc.d network-manager start $> sudo chroot /tmp/jail invoke-rc.d bluetooth start $> sudo chroot /tmp/jail invoke-rc.d gdm start The input of the last command starts a new GNOME Desktop log in screen. Until now the kernel message shows no aufs warning or error messages. During the log in from the GNOME Desktop log in into the GNOME Desktop session the following kernel message concerning AUFS is logged: [ 129.434722] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[3397]: unknown option errors=remount-ro [ 129.441762] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[3398]: unknown option commit=0 [ 129.452269] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[3400]: unknown option commit=0 [ 129.468503] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[3402]: unknown option commit=0 [ 129.473906] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[3403]: unknown option commit=0 [ 129.477398] aufs au_opts_parse:1039:mount[3404]: unknown option commit=0 I hope, I have presented the problem now clear enough. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate and ask me again. The question is, why does aufs print the above kernel messages. I would be very glad, if you could find some time to answer my questions. Thanks a lot in advanced.
