Hello, One of the maintainers of systemd and I have been working together on trying to convert the NFS SysV init scripts into systemd services. Here is the long trail... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699040 The point is this, with fairly complicated system, some events need to have happen, like loading modules, before other events happen, like setting parameters of those loaded modules. Currently the ExecStart commands can be started and end before the ExecStartPre even start. This means setting modules parameters within the same service file are impossible. I suggested that a boundary be set that all ExecStartPre commands finish before any ExecStart commands start, which would allow complicated subsystems, like NFS, to start in a very stable way... So is it wrong? Shouldn't there away to allow certain parts of a system to synchronously configure some things so other parts will come up as expected? tia, steved. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
