I'm fairly sure they use XenServer, but I'm still waiting for confirmation... 2 issues I have after updating: 1. First question Quoting from the Guide: "local.start and local.stop With OpenRC, /etc/conf.d/local.start and local.stop are deprecated. During the migration to OpenRC, the files are moved to /etc/local.d and gain the suffix .start or .stop. OpenRC then executes those in alphabetic order." Problem - on this VM, these files are named 'baselayout1.start' and 'baselayout1.stop', NOT 'local.start' and 'local.stop'... Should I change these? Does it matter? 2. Second question Quoting from the Guide: "System sub-types: Virtualization special cases In the early versions of OpenRC, we explictly detected multiple types of virtualization, and used that detection to note when certain init scripts should be skipped, using the keyword call in the depend functions. However, as of the 0.7.0 release, you are required to explicitly configure the sub-type using the rc_sys variable in /etc/rc.conf. The sub-type should be set to match the virtualization environment that the given root is in. In general, the non-empty rc_sys value should be within the virtual containers; The host node will have rc_sys="". Important: If you do not have any specific sub-type, please use the default of an empty string "". If the variable is unset, you will be given a warning and we will attempt to use the old detection algorithm. Note: If you do not know what value your system was using with the automatic detection, you should temporarily comment out the rc_sys variable and run the detection command, rc -S." Currently this is set to "", but according to the guide, since this is a VM, it needs to be explicitly set. rc -S simply reports: "li66-207 etc # rc -S * WARNING: rc_sys not defined in rc.conf. Falling back to automatic detection" What should I set this to? Assuming that Linode is indeed using Xen, would it be: rc_sys="xenU" ? Thanks, Charles
