[gentoo-user] Is paludis bad for SSDs?

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

This is a follow up to an earlier post about using paludis --uninstall.

After not quite uninstalling cpufreqd and cpufrequtils(boot still complains) I gave ctrl-alt-del. When the eee 900a 4G SSD rebooted got a scary message the gist of which was that the file system was corrupt but was corrected and the system had to reboot in 10secs, LINUX BOOT it shouted and rebooted normally.

Does this have anything to do with #paludis -u some-pkg not getting along with the SSD? It's the only cause/effect scenario I can come up with.

I've always used the three finger salute before without causing grief to the fs.

Maxim

No, I don't think so. Watch the shutdown messages carefully and look wether 
one or more of the shutdown scripts (especially those which umount filesystems) 
fail.

Are you using baselayout1 or baselayout2/openrc? If the latter: Any chance you 
still have some old init-scripts from bl1 interfering?

Hadn't thought about it. baselayout-1.12.11.1 appears under /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/

Do you recommend migrating to openrc as per

 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml ?

My point was not that you should migrate, but if you did or will do, you 
should make sure no bl1 initscripts remain on the system, as they can cause 
all kinds of strange things when used on a bl2/openrc system.

Thanks for the tip. Is this the sort of thing that benefits from turning off CONFIG_PROTECT in one or more dirs?. That seems to be what happened when I thought I had uninstalled _all_ of cpufreqd and cpufrequtils: the init files and conf remained.

That would mean that every update would trash your existing configs. It
would be safe if you set it only when uninstalling (does Paludis have a
"total removal" option)

Unix is user-friendly. It's just very selective with who it's friends are.
