There is an html version of this mail, that also has emerge --info and |
| 5 |
my kernel config, at: |

I've come to a dead end in troubleshooting this issue and turn to you |
| 9 |
for help in how to continue. The following is what I've discovered |
| 10 |
during troubleshooting. |

# FS's not Mounted After Boot |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
After login I need to remount `/` with rw. I always then mount `/boot`, |
| 15 |
`/mnt/hdd`, `/home/thomas/hdd` manually; that is --- with the `fixmnt` |
| 16 |
script I made pasted below. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
before doing the above `mount` command tells me that the FS's are |
| 19 |
mounted as they should be, but they contain no files. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
## `~/bin/fixmnt` |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 24 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
sudo ip link set lo up |
| 27 |
sudo dhclient enp0s25 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
cp /etc/mtab /home/thomas/mtab-$(date -Iminutes) |
| 30 |
wgp=$(wgetpaste /etc/mtab) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
sudo mount -o remount,rw / |
| 33 |
echo $wgp >> /home/thomas/wgp-$(date -Iminutes) |
| 34 |
sudo mount /boot |
| 35 |
sudo mount /mnt/hdd |
| 36 |
sudo mount /home/thomas/hdd |
| 37 |
sudo swapon /dev/sdb2 |
| 38 |
#ip link set lo up |
| 39 |
#sudo ip link set lo up |
| 40 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
As I can't put a copy of `/etc/mtab` anywhere on a read only FS you |
| 43 |
won't see what it looks like before running the `fixmnt ` script. The |
| 44 |
script gives off an error for the call to cp that I've just ignored for |
| 45 |
now (also the wgetpaste doesn't work as it requires creating files in |
| 46 |
`/tmp/`, which at that point in time is not writable). |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
# Daemons Won't Start |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
You can see from the above that `net.lo` does not get started and there |
| 51 |
are some daemons that haven't started and won't start when called. Some |
| 52 |
I can start through calling their commands directly (I do this with |
| 53 |
`privoxy` and `tor` at the moment in a `tmux` session for browsing). |
| 54 |
Other daemons won't start no matter what I try, like `dbus`. |

Because of the above output I wonder if this is because of some FS or |
| 101 |
disk error (crossing fingers for software/config and not hardware) the |
| 102 |
culprit could be `fsck.xfs`. |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
I have run fsck (including `xfs_repair` on the xfs partitions) on all |
| 105 |
partitions, with no problems reported from a trisquell livedisk. I also |
| 106 |
tried running fsck on `/dev/sda1` from the installed Gentoo instance; |
| 107 |
got no errors and didn't change any behaviour as far as I have noticed. |

# Overview of System |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
Sometime in the beginning of October I installed an ssd in this laptop |
| 112 |
and migrated to it. The problems started after this, but I am unsure |
| 113 |
precisely when as I didn't reboot much in between the migration; for all |
| 114 |
I remember now these problems might have started a while after the |
| 115 |
migration. `sdb` is the "new" ssd while `sda` is the old hdd. |
| 116 |
|
| 117 |
As you can see from `fstab` I tried putting `/dev/sdb3` as the boot |
| 118 |
partition when I installed the ssd. |
| 119 |
|
| 120 |
## `/etc/fstab` |
| 121 |
|
| 122 |
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 123 |
#/dev/sdb3 /boot ext2 noatime 1 2 |
| 124 |
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noatime 1 2 |
| 125 |
/dev/sdb1 / ext4 noatime,discard 0 1 |
| 126 |
/dev/sdb2 none swap sw 0 0 |
| 127 |
## Old harddisk |
| 128 |
/dev/sda4 /mnt/hdd xfs noatime 0 2 |
| 129 |
/mnt/hdd/home/thomas /home/thomas/hdd none bind 0 0 |
