For each statically configured interface, we now create a unit
‘<interface>-cfg.service’ which gets started as soon as the network
device comes up. Similarly, each bridge defined in
‘networking.bridges’ and virtual interface in ‘networking.interfaces’
is created by a service ‘<interface>.service’.
So if we have
networking.bridges.br0.interfaces = [ "eth0" "eth1" ];
networking.interfaces =
[ { name = "br0";
ipAddress = "192.168.1.1";
}
];
then there will be a unit ‘br0.service’ that depends on
‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device’ and
‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth1.device’, and a unit ‘br0-cfg.service’
that depends on ‘sys-subsystem-net-devices-br0.device’.
It's not enough to say "after udev-settle.service" since
udev-settle.service is not wanted/required anywhere - we need to say
"wants udev-settle.service" as well.
This should fix problems with ALSA and X11 initialisation that people
have been seeing.
So instead of:
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig =
''
StartLimitInterval=10
CPUShare=500
'';
you can say:
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig.StartLimitInterval = 10;
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig.CPUShare = 500;
This way all unit options are available and users can set/override
options in configuration.nix.
Systemd sets locale variables like $LANG when running services, so
$LOCALE_ARCHIVE should also be set to prevent warnings like "perl:
warning: Setting locale failed.".
kernel 3.4+ needs cifs-utils to mount CIFS filesystems.
the kernel itself (and busybox's cifs mount code) are no longer able
to do this in some/most cases and will error out saying:
"CIFS VFS: connecting to DFS root not implemented yet"
Nixos' qemu-vm target is hurt by this, as it wants to mount /nix/store
via cifs very early in the boot process.
This commit makes sure the initrd for affected kernels is built with
cifs-utils if needed.
If a service has a corresponding socket unit, then stop the socket
before stopping the service. This prevents it from being restarted
behind our backs. Also, don't restart the service; it will be
restarted on demand via the socket.
Subtle: dhcpcd.service would call resolvconf during shutdown, which in
turn would start invalidate-nscd.service, causing the shutdown to be
cancelled. Instead, give nscd.service a proper reload action, and do
"systemctl reload --no-block nscd.service". The --no-block is
necessary to prevent that command from waiting until a timeout occurs
(bug in systemd?).
As non-QWERTY keyboards don't feel so warm and cozy if they hug QWERTY LUKS
password prompts, it was on honor for me to serve King Dvorak XV to fight the
glorious keyboard war against... what?! Yes, I'm awake!
We're fighting with loadkeys to spit out busybox binary keymaps against loadkmap
(loadkeys does have a special target -b for that).
And yep, I'm somewhat abusing preLVMCommands, if someone got issues with that,
feel free to introduce a new substitute in stage-i-init.sh.
