[adamw@adam ~]$ rpm -q autofs
package autofs is not installed
[adamw@adam ~]$

apparently not.

I really don't know - all's I know is it works, perfectly, for my simple
case, and doesn't delay boot, which is more than any NFS mounting setup
I could manage / be arsed to figure out prior to systemd.

Yupp, that thing is parallelize boot. It's pretty good at that. It now
even can parallelize fsck/mount/daemon startup, thanks to the
minimalistic support of direct automount points we have in there. How
awesome is that?

The traditional autofs installtions tend to focus on indirect mounts,
not direct mounts. systemd does not cover indirect mounts, and it is
very unlikely that it ever will. Replacing exisiting autofs
installations with the built-in systemd stuff is not possible and out of
focus for us.

Direct automounts:

 you establish an automount point /home, and on access a file system is
 mounted to /home. (i.e. if I access /home/lennart the fs will be
 mounted to /home)

Indirect automounts:

 you establish an automount point /home, and on access of directory
 beneath it a file system is mounted on it. (i.e. if I access
 /home/lennart the fs will be mounted to /home/lennart).

systemd uses the kernel interfaces directly. It only does direct
mounts, not indirect mounts, and it's all designed to be trivially
simple to use (i.e. just add "comment=systemd.automount" to your fstab
options), pulling in no further deps for this, and integrate well with
the rest of systemd, i.e. doing the full dependency mumbo-jumbo as soon
as an automount is triggered.

The idea is that it "just works", is tiny, and makes autofs something
you want to use without having to think about NIS or LDAP or other
configuration maps. (yeah, I know, you don't need NIS/LDAP to configure
maps in autofs.) 

automounting support in systemd is attractive for a number of
reasons. The main one is that it allows us to cheaply establish mount
points without having to back them with real file systems
right-away. That means we can leave the early boot phase much earlier
than we traditionally could, since we don't actually need to wait for
fsck/mount to complete for all file systems listed in /etc/fstab. This
allows us to parallelize fsck/mount and daemon start-up in a fashion
previously not possible. This is not necessarily particularly
interesting on general purpose systems but on embedded systems it is.

NB they're not mutually exclusive. You can run the regular autofs userspace
daemon at the same time as systemd. Systemd will look after any mount points
in its unit files, while autofs will look after the mount points from the
traditional /etc/auto.master files. They're both just leveraging the same
kernel API for automounting. Also systemd is only doing direct autofs
mounts, if you want indirect autofs mounts then the regular automount is
the one to use.

It appears to use the kernel autofs support but replaces the userspace daemon
(and replaces the traditional automounter map file format with system.automount
unit files).

I can appreciate a benefit for personal systems from systemd managing network
file system mounts since it's in a position to know when the network is up (this
has been a problem with /etc/fstab, NFS/CIFS and NetworkManger for some time)
but I'm not sure that large deployments with existing autofs infrastructures
will be so keen to make the switch.

Bryn.

  Be a little wary.

  This is not really fine - systemd should do one thing and do it well
... when it starts to bleed off and try do too many things (with little
to zero rationale or benefit) then the chances of things  going wrong
increase.

   Just because something 'can' do something does not make it a sensible
design. Since systemd is running daemon it could take over any daemon -
it could even do everything pulse does :-)

Hell any rooted capable daemon process can do the same -  autofs
could just as easily start other services for that matter ... doesn't
make it a good design.

Just coz it is doing some mount stuff doesn't mean it should do all
mount stuff ...

 autofs should be left alone to do what it does best.

It is fine for really simple use cases, but the complexity of what autofs does 
for large deployments is huge

I don't know enough about how systemd does the automount support, it might be 
leveraging autofs?

Well, the design for F15 was pretty much to use systemd as the daemon,
but leave all the services as sysv, just as we've been using upstart for
years. The only things which were converted to be native were things
that it turned out we *had* to convert, because - due to various boring
little details about how systemd works - leaving them as sysv-native
would have caused significant bugs.

the design for f16 is to convert all the 'stock' services you get with a
default install, and on the live image (aiui).

how else could we do it? it would be impractical to convert every single
service in the entire distro in a single six month cycle. unless you're
volunteering. ;)

Brace yourself, I think you should take it with philosophy and expect
the same to continue for another 3 releases.

Changes that re this disruptive upset many, take a deep breath and don't
take it personally even when people "attack" you. If you do otherwise

That's where's Ric suggestion comes into place. You have to go a knock
to the door of these developers and have a discussion to let them
understand the importance of the work to be done. It is time consuming

We'll get those components converted in time hopefully we (FreeIPA) are
in close contact with both the MIT Kerberos and Bind maintainers.

What you forgot there is that Dogtag is not daemonless, on the countrary
it depends on Tomcat, which looks like a mess to convert to systemd.
Tomcat seem to be the bit that may stall the whole conversion to be
honest.

The other issue we have is that we need to dynamically generate the list
of service when the first component (dirsrv) starts, as we keep the list
of active services per FreeIPA server in LDAP. But we seem to have a
solution for that, more or less...

Seriously am I supposed to play that dance yet again the merits over the 
legacy sysv init system as been explained to death more then once.

Converting the nfs legacy sysv init script to native systemd one is not 
a technical problem nor requires any code changes to the nfs code base  
it's a human one and there is no point for me trying to explain things 
to an indvidual that is not willing to listen that is just a waste of my 
time which is better spent with people that actually are willing to 
listen, learn adapt and move on.

And it's just going to make my day that if the only component that 
requires absolutely no code changes is going to block the alpha release 
because the maintainer refused to get with the program and make the 
changes like everyone else all because he did not want to inconvenient 
the little sysadmin.

What I think that you and others are not given credit is that most upstream 
maintainers have very long lists of things to do. The NFS team is swamped doing 
support for pNFS (version 4.1) and has been going through massive change for 
example.

When you have a very invasive feature that requires the entire world to change 
and brings no domain specific advantages to users of impacted subsystems, you 
should not be surprised that you see resistance (what new capability does NFS 
get from the systemd changes for example!).

That is where you need to use charm and persuasion to move things along :)

Its not any poorer then "it has been like that for 28 years so don't
dare to change it".
Where the sole reason for this kind of arguments seem to be "I
can't/don't want to learn anything new" ... which is really tiresome.
Working with technology like this requires change and / or learning
something new at some point. You cant just get used to one thing and
think you can stick to that for the rest of your life.

Which feature of this magnitute have you put out to your users?

Serously if you have some motivation tips to get things moving I and 
others would gladly like to hear them..


When you propose and implement a massive change, you need to make sure 
that the system as a whole still works.




Certanly.

Of course, the developers of code components *should* work with the 
systemd team, but if they don't (don't like it, have higher 
priorities, whatever), then the proponents of change need to do the 
heavy lifting.  Heavy lifting can involve education, convincing others 
in a *nice* way or actually having to do the code.


Regarding your education response we have man pages upstream 
documentation Lennart's blog posts and various interviews he has done 
along with very active upstream mailings and irc channel and if man 
pages or other documentation are *vague* about any issue only thing 
people need to do is ask.


You don't receive answers if you don't ask and we can't force knowledge 
upon people or have them to educate themselves.


Regarding your convincing people this is the third release cycle that we 
have to act nice repeat answers to both end users sysadmins and 
developers alike and at the same time be our work ridiculed belittled 
and we subdued to personal attacks.


You may think third time is the charm and I honestly don't how Lennart 
does cope with this but I decided to draw the nice line here the third 
release cycle we are put through this.


As much as I would like us to have the authority to "do the code" that 
unfortunately wont cut it since we lack the expertise, the experience 
and insight that maintainers have through maintaining their component so 
having us walsing in and do the conversion might actually be doing more 
harm then good however working together will deliver the best result.


We simply cannot ship something that would lose data or cause critical 
components to fail for our users. 


I completly agree and from my pov it's like maintainers do not 
understand how important that is for us to manage to convert all the 500 
- 600 daemons in one release cycle.


Beside the obvious unfortinate experience our user may go through like 
the one Reindl Harald and perhaps others have experienced then this may 
also break and hinder work for other developers that build their 
application stack on top of those daemons.


One such example is the freeipa stack where the freeipa team needs to 
rewrite/replace and or add seperated systemd spesific code and if I'm 
not mistaken they will only support sysv on sysv platforms and systemd 
on systemd platforms instead of trying to support mixed match of both 
init system ( Freeipa guys feel free to correct me if I'm wrong ).


Freeipa is built on top of 389 Directory Server, MIT Kerberos, NTP, 
DNS,and  Dogtag ( which I dont recall having any daemons ) of that only 
the NTP has been converted work is being done on converting 389 and I 
think the native systemd units for freeipa server daemons are ready but 
they are not being shipped yet however that leaves out bind and mit 
kerberos with no movement what so ever on those two components atleast 
there has been no respons on the relevant bug report for those two 
components as is with so many others and I have not heard a word from 
either of those maintainers on irc.


Now their new code depends on all of those components to be converted 
and it does not take more then one of those components to not convert 
and their whole work is being thrown out the window and they are forced 
to rewrite their code to support a mixed batch of sysv legacy scripts 
and native systemd units and they have the time from from Beta to GA to 
test that code on that mixed batch of init files which at the same time 
those unit files might be subdued to various testing and rewriting as an 
indvidual standalone services.


See my point on how vital it can be to convert to those unit files as 
soon as possible and that's just one application stack built on top of 
five components.


The main problem here are the maintainers that do not respond to the bug 
report or when I ping them on irc because then I dont get the status 
from them which in turn FESCO wont either since I deliver them progress 
report on each meeting along with keeping [1] updated.


I'm not asking for much of maintainers *valuable* time (apparently 
others people time does not matter here. We are all busy with work life 
and what not, expecial those of us that are not working full time on 
fedora and are doing this work on our freetime and apparently it's not 
considered rude on maintainers behalf to not respond to bug reports to 
the people reporting them ) only that they respond if they are looking 
at this or not or will be after a week for that matter. ( which is like

it is not my intention to get personally and hurt anybody

i try to get borked things fixed which i can not fix by myself

no problem, no rush NOW
but the time goes fast and F14-EOL will affect users in many ways

what i hardly need is a relieable mysqld in a way that every
service (and not only shipped with fedora ones) will 100% start
clean and much more feedback of "systemctl"

after that is clean and there is a way to backport to F15 i am partly
happy, but as long "systemctl start some.service" wil give no feedback
if the start was sucessful or not this is not acceptable for me because
in the time typing "systemctl status some.service" i ccould start to think
and look why it has failed

and i think you will also agree that it is boring restart a machine
over Lights-Out-Managment with some TB disks and the beast starts
filesystem-check without feedback and you can not hear if the
machine is frozen or still working, for someone this might
be a little probmem - for a perfectionist it is unacceptable
__

the myslqd.service/mysqld.socket MUST working perfectly and after that i am
much more relaxed than now because my whole work of the last 10 years
depends on that and tjere was no single problem until systemd came in my life

sorry - yes THIS is your comment

but i know many answers of Lennart in contect of systemd which are unacceptable 
and showing that he means that the
world should be turned around systemd and all existing things which do not work 
as clean as they did before systemd
are faulty and have to be fixed

look at my othe rpoints from today - this are all things which were never a

pulseaudio:
what about a systemd-service since Lennart is main developer of pulseaudio

is for user-sessions

that some peopole using their computer as audioserver for the whole family

you do not know anything what i am learning and working every day
i am learning, optimizing and rewriting software all day long
but not with a good reason or if some liked improvement is
not bigger than the bad things coming with it

if fedora as distribution decides to change things than the
distribution with ALL packages have to be fixed / improved

why?
normally a user can not rebuild / fix packages
if things worked for a long time and after replacing them
packages of the distribution are broken this is not really
my area - it should not happen

learning:
THIS is the state of learning on fedora/redhat-side, a little late!
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714426#c33
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714426#c33
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714426#c40

NOBODY has clear ideas what the guidelines are saying
and F15 is GA since a longer time
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=714426#c47

so please do not tell me what is tiresome
i tell you: a release like F15 is tiresome

topic learning:
as long the whole distribution is a wild mix of systemd/lsb/sysvinit
there is nothing to learn because the whole system is currently diry
in my eyes and after ALL fedora packages using the from fedora decided
init-system and all the bugs going with this are fixed starts the
time to learn for users

currently many packagers seems to be in a early learning state, but
no probmem we release unfinished things, break basiscs like "df"
and writing guidelines for unbaken cakes - wonderful!

I don't have it backwards - my day job is to work on exactly getting this kind 
of cutting edge feature out to end users.

When you propose and implement a massive change, you need to make sure that the 
system as a whole still works.

Of course, the developers of code components *should* work with the systemd 
team, but if they don't (don't like it, have higher priorities, whatever), then

I completely support moving to new technology and think that systemd is quite 
attractive in many ways.

That said, we must insure that critical services all work, especially for 
storage and file systems where screws will lose data and we will end up losing 
users.

MD, NFS, clustering have complicated and complex needs. The systemd team - not 
just the developers of those subsystems - need to be directly engaged and 
proactive in getting all of these critical systems converted cleanly

this is simply unacceptable and such things must not go GA
not in business world nor in free software

normally in free software world i heard "it is released when it is ready"
seems this times are over abd marketing has won :-(

If I'm not mistaken you can file a ticket with Fesco asking for 
exception for allowing this to be pushed into F15 of course they  might 
require you to have this lingering in update-testing for some extra time.

They have some valid reasons for wanting to avoid the risk of rendering
machines inoperable or insecure because something didn't start, but I
have to agree with you that the half systemd, half sysv init thing is
pretty damn fugly.

I just pulled it from f15.  I was told to remove it because it's
"critical path", which isn't entirely true.  The sysv init part is the
monitoring, not the bring up, so it wouldn't render anyone's machine
unbootable, they would just need to make sure monitoring was up and
running (well, the mdmon handover part is pretty necessary on imsm
arrays, but that's a whole other topic).

i noticd with real anger and was able to restore the
systemd-files from my second machine before update there

it makes me really sad to see that F15 was released as
a br**ead mix auf sysv/lsb/systemd and there is no
way to get this clean without "making all yourself"

hopefully systemd will aslo live for 40 years as sysvinit
did or the next replacement will be finished BEFORE release

You mean in F15? Or do you mean in rawhide as well?

Id be interested in using unofficial F15 systemd enabled packages if
there was some need to test on F15 systems as well as rawhide.
