Order of rc file execution
Hello, I use a GBDE-encrypted /var partition which i attach and mount during boot in rc.local. Now this has worked flawlessly until my last portmanager -u run, after which the following happens during the boot sequence: - /etc/rc.d/ldconfig writes /var/run/ld.so.hints and /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints - /etc/rc.d/local attaches and mounts my encrypted /var partition - every subsequent program fails to start up because it cannot find any dynamic library it needs due to the hidden /var/run/ld*.so.hints As an ugly workaround i copied the ld*.so.hints to the encrypted /var/run, but obviously it is better to run /etc/rc.d/local before /etc/rc.d/ldconfig. I understand I can achieve this by changing the line # BEFORE: LOGIN in local to # BEFORE: ldconfig and change the REQUIRE line too to avoid a circular dependency. I'd just like to ask the list whether there is a way which does not require changing system-supplied scripts. I'd prefer making my edits in a centralized way (for instance, editing something like /etc/rc.local) instead of something under rc.d.

Option 1: seems to be use /etc/rc.d/gbde to mount your /var Option 2: seems to be create your script under /etc/rc.d with the desired BEFORE line. This doesn't change system supplied scripts, but when you do mergemaster then you will be asked if you want to delete this stale script.

Re: Order of rc file execution
I use a GBDE-encrypted /var partition which i attach and mount during boot in rc.local. why don't you use /etc/rc.d/gbde? (btw, which version of FBSD?). Heh, because I didn't know about it! Thanks, this looks like the cleanest solution. How do I use this script? If I interpret the source correctly, I should just set gbde_devices-auto=AUTO in /etc/rc.conf and enter my encrypted partition in the fstab? Dummy question: Where should I look to find documentation about scripts like this? I haven't found it mentioned in either the handbook or the manpages. BTW, I use 5.4. As an ugly workaround i copied the ld*.so.hints to the encrypted /var/run, but obviously it is better to run /etc/rc.d/local before /etc/rc.d/ldconfig.

should just set
gbde_devices-auto=AUTO
in /etc/rc.conf and enter my encrypted partition in the fstab?
Actually, the variable ${gbde_devices-auto} in /etc/rc.d/gdbe is almost
certainly a typo. I changed it to ${gbde_devices_auto}.
Additionally, one has to set
gbde_lock_[device]=/path/to/lockfileor
gbde_lockdir=/path/to/lockdir [where the lockfile(s) must
have the encrypted slice's name and a '.lock' extension
in /etc/rc.conf.
Having done this, i have a solution for mounting encrypted partition at
boot, which seems perfectly clean to me. Wonderful.
Dummy question: Where should I look to find documentation about
scripts like this? I haven't found it mentioned in either the
handbook or the manpages.
I don't know. It might not be documented so well yet, but there's an
