[gentoo-user] How to run dhclient on the background
Hello, When I boot my computer I don't want to wait for the dhcp client (in my case dhclient) to acquire a lease to continue the booting process. Instead, I would like that the client could be run in the background (as a daemon) right after it is invoked. Reading through the man pages of dhclient it seems like I need to pass the -nw flag to the client. However. I can't find how to do this. Any help is welcomed. It seems like I'm the only one with this issue (I don't think so) because I can't find in the internet information about this. Thanks in advance, Damian.

Re: [gentoo-user] How to run dhclient on the background
You wanted to pass options to your dhcp client. The page mentioned
shows two ways of doing that:
1) By setting the variable dhcp_eth0 to a space-delimited string of
options, like
dhcp_eth0=release nodns nontp nonis
These generic options work for any of the dhclient, dhcpcd, pump and
udhcpc clients.
2) By setting ${CLIENTNAME}_eth0 to a space-delimited string of
options, you can pass any option to your specific client
If you want to pass the -nw option to the dhclient client for the eth0
interface, you would write
dhclient_eth0=-nw
All this configuration goes in /etc/conf.d/net (at least for
baselayout 1.12.12; I don't know about baslayout 2.0.0)
Thanks Jorge! I overlooked that. Sorry.
Best regards,
Damian.

So, if unmasking without the ~x86 I will try that. mcc There are two different types of masking that I think are being confused here. Keyword masking based on the various CPU architectures (x86, amd64, ppc etc. the ~variants), and Package masking that masks a package across all archs, usually for stability or security reasons. Usually, the All ebuilds that satisfy blah have been masked will say either (masked by: missing keyword) or (masked by: package.mask). To unmask packages masked by missing keywords, you add a line to /etc/portage/package.keywords w/ the package atom a list of keywords to accept for that package atom. To unmask packages masked by package.mask, you only need to add the package atom to /etc/portage/package.unmask. But in this specific case it's actually not a masking issue, it's a missing package issue as discussed in the other sub-thread. Arguably Portage should either not give the All ebuilds have been masked error, or should say something like (masked by: no matching ebuilds). Hope you get it working, Conway S.

Perhps you are authenticating but then not getting a dhcp address.
Try adding
modules=( wpa_supplicant )
wpa_supplicant_ath0=-Dmadwifi
config_ath0=( dhcp )
to your /etc/conf.d/net file.
Tried your suggestion above, but it didn't help.
my /etc/conf.d/net has the following :

in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf add the following :

change linksys into the SSID you give your router.

[gentoo-user] filesystems
Currently I have around 3 terrabytes of storage across a number of gentoo machines (4 at the moment) - at any one time 1/2 to 1 terrabyte is unused, but mostly in scattered chunks. Some space is exported via NFS and samba for backups and shared files. What I would really like is a file system that would unify these spaces and present them to the network as storage space - ideally with redundant data storage so one or more machines can dissappear and the data is still available. AFS is not quite what I want (or maybe it is, but it doesn't seem to handle transient storage duplication) I have a memory of seeing a beast that does this in the past but cant remember what it is - any suggestions?

Re: [gentoo-user] Using projector as my monitor
Norman, Most of the projectors I have worked with can simply be plugged into the computer the same as with a monitor. The only thing I have ever had to configure is sometimes the monitor section in xorg.conf, but that is usually not necessary. If possible try the projector before hand.

Two things, (more ore less) one purpose: 1) LVM: Logical Volume Management 2) EVMS: Enterprise Volume Management System 1) is used for management of Logical Volumes, organised in Volume Groups, which could be spread accross one or more Physical Volumes. @William: If one or more of the PVs is a Network Block Device, you're not bound to the local machine. 2) From IBM, not RH. It's an umbrella for the whole storage management chain from fdisk over (SW-) RAID and Logical Volumes to filesystem creation and maintenance. HTH... Dirk

Someone has also posted an ebuild integrating that patch. But it does not work for everybody and the bug was closed as a problem with upstream. But perhaps the patch works for you. Good luck Christian Thanks, but this problem has disappeared leaving me with the original problem again. My work on my home gentoo install is being spread other long periods of time, so I seem to forget what I do/have done. Regards Dirk
