[gentoo-user] Systemd and lvm
Having observed all the ranting, I thought I would try systemd on a laptop. It actually seems to work quite well and it is a lot faster. However I am having trouble getting my LVM partitions mounted. I installed the LVM service unit from the Gentoo Wiki but it never completes, timing-out on a job that mounts /var. The VG is actually created by an initramfs and when systemd dumps you out to the emergency shell you can use lvs to see the volumes, /dev/mapper has all the correct devices and dmsetup ls shows the LVs. In fact, everything appears as it should, the partitions just don't get mounted. I circumvented this by putting mount -a in the lvm.service unit, which then completes and the mount jobs time-out. Everything seems to be OK but it is a bit of a kludge. One thing I notice is: # udevadm info -p /dev/mapper/vg00-rootfs -q all syspath not found Udev seems not to know about the LVs. Any ideas?

[gentoo-user] graphite2 won't emerge | powerpc mac | Undefined symbols for architecture ppc
I recently renewed a friend's old Quicksilver G4 power PC, and forced an install of system 10.5.8 on it. I started installing from scratch a Gentoo Prefix, and built up to GD and ImageMagick (and their requirements) since I use them in graphics programming. I'm running ~arch (testing mode) and things have been working fine with all of the testing packages so farI updated system and then world for some changes in use flags, and noticed that graphite2 was installing as new. This is listed as a stable package for the powerpc (http://packages.gentoo.org/package/media-gfx/graphite2), yet it chokes at the very end of the install. Any insight is appreciated.

Unfortunately even though an incorrect clock is perfectly acceptable to SSL it is not to HSTS. I expect to hear user complaints getting play.com to disable HSTS due to flat bios batteries (and no NTP is seemingly no answer to this problem). My preference is a compulsory header redirect to ssl.

Although that may not be exactly the problem you are encountering, it may be similar in how Firefox deals with what it considers a woefully invalid certificate. Have you tried with a fresh profile?

The boot process is actually handled by the 100ish MB 'System Partition' before being handed to C:. This will at least give SysAdmins a fighting chance of recovering a botched maintenance. (Note: Said behavior will only be visible if installing onto a clean hard disk. If there are partitions left over from previous Windows installs, Win7 will not create a separate 'System Partition') So, if Microsoft saw the light, why does Red Hat sunk into darkness instead? I'm not sure about Microsoft's motivations in what you describe. My first reaction is that the Great Circle of IT Life is turning and MS are trying something new for them. Whether it's applicable to us here as an illustration remains to be seen - I know very little about Windows so can't even begin to draw sensible parallels. I know little about the history of UNIX before 1993, and the sum of my experience with Linux is that I have never personally run into any case where I had a single /+/usr and regretted it, but I *have* encountered situations where I could not get /usr mounted and ended up merging it with /. FWIW, YMMV, etc. I can tell you that Pandu's analogy vis a vis Windows is a bit flawed. What Windows has done recently is (by default for clean installs) to split the boot loader and related bootstrap code into a separate partition from the actual operating system. Claiming that this is analogous to / and /usr is quite a stretch. It is much more accurate to make it analogous to / and /boot. The System Partition has no Windows files on it, just the equivalent to grub (and it's also used if you have BitLocker, to decrypt your boot partition).
