19:09.38system16Hi
19:10.14system16Is it possible to change the mount point of my external hdd from /home to /home/myusername ?
19:11.08system16If this is not possible, can i create a shortcut to it in /home/myusername ?
19:11.53KatolaZsystem16: it's possible but you should be careful with that
19:11.59*** join/#devuan n4dir (~n4dir@mue-88-130-56-142.dsl.tropolys.de)
19:12.07system16Why
19:12.16KatolaZif you HD is disconnected, your user will remain without a homedir
19:12.21system16Creating a shortcut is risky ?
19:12.24KatolaZnope
19:12.34KatolaZchanging the mountpoint of /home
19:12.42system16No no
19:12.44system16I meant
19:13.02system16I want to change the mount point of my external drive
19:13.14system16Its : /home/hdd
19:13.47system16I want it to be /home/myusername/hdd
19:14.43KatolaZsystem16: how are you mounting yout external drive?
19:15.01system16Umm what do you mean ?
19:15.13system16Its called /dev/sdb1
19:16.05KatolaZare you mounting it manually?
19:16.34system16No i just changed its permission to 777
19:16.46telst4rDude. No.
19:16.50system16It automatically mounts it
19:16.51KatolaZo_O
19:17.26system16I dont have to type mount /dev/sdb1 ... is that what you mean ?
19:18.54telst4r^ thats a manual mount. And you're not doing it. Some daemon is trying to be 'smart' here I suppose

19:21.05system16Btw i have no GUI running
19:21.21system16Everything is done via commands
19:21.52KatolaZsystem16: what do you mean by that?
19:22.19KatolaZa symlink?
19:22.20system16A shortcut to a directory
19:22.34KatolaZjust `ln -s`
19:22.36KatolaZman ls
19:22.39KatolaZsorry
19:22.41KatolaZman ln
19:22.53system16Ln -s /home/hdd ?
19:23.12system16l*
19:23.40telst4rln wants target and source. take a look at the manual and give it a few test tries.
19:23.51system16Oh
19:23.51telst4ror -to- and -from-
19:23.57system16Ok
19:23.58n4dirlooks to me as if both /home/hdd and /home/username/hdd would be short enough. No ?

19:24.47system16N4dir , all of my devices are set to /home/myusername. And changing them is a hassel
19:24.53telst4rhow short ~/hdd can be shortened? ;)
19:25.31KatolaZ~/h
19:25.32KatolaZ:P

19:26.26*** join/#devuan Acacia (~Acacia@unaffiliated/acacia)
19:29.38system16Ln: missing file operand
19:30.01system16I typed ln -s
19:30.14KatolaZsystem16: have you read `man ln`?
19:30.30system16Im reading it rn
19:30.40KatolaZyou should just read the first 10 lines
19:30.57KatolaZln -s FILE DEST
19:31.11system16ln    [OPTION]...    [-T]    TARGET ?
19:31.33KatolaZsystem16: ^^^
19:32.26system16Hey it worked
19:32.47system16Hooray
19:32.50nacelleI think of it as "ln -sf original referenced"
19:32.52system16Thank you all
19:33.02*** join/#devuan m3tti (~quassel@x5d83b684.dyn.telefonica.de)
19:33.26nacelleor "ln -sf old new" if you will
19:34.20system16<PROTECTED>
19:34.41system16Or a restart messes with it ?
19:35.29golinuxGuess you'll find out
19:36.57system16Btw do i need to unmount my drive before executing shutdown -h now ?
19:37.17KatolaZsystem16: it would be adviseable
19:37.30system16Or devuan is smart enough to do this automatically like windows
19:40.13KatolaZsystem16: a clean shutdown should unmount all the mounted filesystems
19:40.45system16Clean shutdown ?
19:41.03system16So shutdown -h now isnt clean ?

21:52.35gnarfaceKatolaZ: this is a problem still intermittently for me
21:52.46gnarfaceit's one of the debian changes i think we should roll back
21:52.51gnarfaceit has nothing to do with systemd, directly
21:53.42gnarface`shutdown -h` *isn't* guaranteed to be clean anymore, and if you're not using a SSD it often isn't.  there should be a setting to change it back to the previous default behavior of actually waiting for everything to unmount rather than just assuming it'll all umount faster than 5s or whatever
21:54.19gnarface(i actually brought this up with upstream maintenance and some asshole told me "well the journaling filesystem should catch any lost data so what's the problem?")
21:55.03gnarface(they're literally making the choice to rely on the filesystem journaling as a method to not require filesystem unmounts anymore - which is somewhat to me like omitting seatbelts because there's airbags)
21:56.43gnarfaceand i don't care about "buh buh buh 99% of all linux installs are now VM guests on a diskless azure system, my boss said so!"
21:56.55gnarfacethis is vandalism
21:58.17gnarface*usually* if i close everything and manually `sync && sync && sync` it'll unmount everything fast enough, but even then it occasionally doesn't.
21:58.31gnarfaceand sometimes i forget
21:59.17gnarfaceif system16 comes back tell him it's a known bug at least
22:05.27DocScrutinizer05alexandros_c: ping
22:17.40Centurion_Dangnarface: I thoroughly agree... what package need fixing and can you provide a patch or point to a commit that needs reversing...
22:17.48Centurion_Dan??
22:18.22gnarfaceCenturion_Dan: i can't provide anything specific, sorry.  i'm sure it's a simple fix to whoever knows what they're doing though.
22:18.41KatolaZgnarface: I guess the package is sysvinit, and I guess Jesse Smith has buasted several bugs in the current dev branch
22:18.50KatolaZjust bear with us ;)
22:18.59gnarfacebut i will cite that this is an especially bad problem if you're using reiserfs still and also forgot to put the /sbin/fsck.reiserfs symlink back that is also obvious sabotage
22:19.43gnarfacebecause *then* when it fails to unmount at reboot, then your journal transaction log *does not* replay and YOU DO lose data
22:19.51KatolaZgnarface: believe me, the main problem with sysvinit has just been lack of maintenance
22:20.02KatolaZthere is no sabotage plan behind
22:20.23KatolaZbut things are moving on now
22:20.32gnarfaceyea, but this used to work and when i went asking about why they changed it, they gave me a dismissive response that is much better at convincing me that it's active sabotage than you are at convincing me it's not
22:20.32KatolaZupstream development has started again
22:20.52KatolaZgnarface: do not assume a bad answer is the official answer
22:20.53KatolaZ;)
22:20.58gnarfacefair enough
22:21.26KatolaZnot all that happens in debian happens in debian-devel
22:21.31KatolaZor in the replied to bug reports
22:21.36KatolaZs/ied/ies
22:21.41gnarfacenoted
22:22.02KatolaZwe have had a lot of enthusiastic support from several DDs on the sysvinit querelle
22:22.24KatolaZand most of them don't need to shout on a mailing list
22:22.34gnarfacewell even if it has to be a dumb timeout now for some reason, just being able to raise it a few seconds would probably cover most my problem cases
22:22.52gnarfacebut it used to actually just hang there for a long time waiting for unmounts
22:23.12gnarfacethere was a timeout after some point i think it would just go through and kill all processes still running?
22:23.17gnarfacethen it would try to unmount again
22:25.10gnarfacei dunno, i remember that it was occasionally a problem if something wouldn't exit right, but that was much more rare of an occurrence than the existing situation
22:25.27gnarfacewhere everything exits right, but just not always quickly enough
