Hey everybody,

Please try to post a new different Debian topic if you can (but of course do post here if you think it is something to do with this kernel). I lost track of which post that I have not answered (there is no way of marking a post as unread :) Thanks.

@bodhi,

after removing systemd by

apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils
apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove systemd
echo -e 'Package: systemd\nPin: origin ""\nPin-Priority: -1' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/systemd


syslogd is putting still similar messages into the log.

The constant intervalls are noticeable.

Do you have any ideas ?

BTW: I already replaced the cable as well as I changed the switch port.

@Joe,

I have no idea why. Perhaps you could post the entire dmesg log? I don't see this behavior on my NSA325v2.

BTW, I'm running sysvinit, but left systemd intact:
apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils
and add this to the kernel bootargs when I want to boot with systemd:
init=/bin/systemd

@Joe,

It looks normal. And you've already swapped the cable and switch port. So I think could it be other software you have running in your system? Are there daemons running that could have been monitoring the network status, i.e. errounously brought the link down? 5 minutes interval is very suspected.

Dear Bodhi,

Here I attach the boot log (via serial port) for both wireless card. May be you can suggest something to enable Atheros support.. (Ralink works as expected).

@tanya,

I don't see the card being detected at all in serial boot log either. It seems to point to a HW problem, i.e. it's incompatible. However, I will have to verify that. When I have sometime, I'll plug in my Atheros card and see what happen. Usually even if the kernel does not have driver for it (this kernel does), the device is stil detected by the kernel.

I tried to cross compile linux kernel for NSA-325v2 on my notebook accroding to instructions in the repo. But it fails with following error:

I tried to use config-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 as .config from bodhis package. I even tried to compile without applying linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1.patch. I am running
root@ts-n:/home/safarik/zyxel/vanilla/linux-3.18.5# export PATH=/root/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_CodeBench_Lite_for_ARM_EABI/bin:$PATH

Any one could help me find what I am doing wrong?

Any have idea if I could use gcc-arm-none-eabi package for cross compiling from debian testing I use instead of Sourcery_CodeBench_Lite_for_ARM_EABI?

I am doing this to compile RAID1 support into the kernel not as a module to be able to load system from linux RAID device. (And have some fun of course :) I found documentation that linux kernel should be able to do it using md= boot parameter according to https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/md.txt. So if you think am going wrong direction please stop me.

Thanks

Tomas

I confirm to have same problem here.
My instructions (git repo) were tested just with my .config, which is a very minimal one.
Since problem is with CODA, I tried to fix it with (basically excluding that feature):
sed --in-place 's/CONFIG_CODA_FS=m/CONFIG_CODA_FS=n/g' .config

It now compiles correctly - I did not try to use it, though!

As for CodeSourcery, when I started with my first mod (reflash
my custom-compiled u-boot version on DLINK DNS325), I just felt
confident to use that compiler, because I read somewhere that it was rock solid.

But I guess it's perfectly fine to use another one.
Indeed, I also use crosstool-ng for other parts of the project.

You know what, I've never succeeded in having recent kernels auto-mount MD devices.
I've also read somewhere that it's actually no longer supported and that the way to go is initramfs/initrd.
And that's basically what I've done in my other project for Lacie NS2MAX:

https://github.com/davidedg/NAS-NS2MAX-mod/blob/master/initramfs/mdadm-static-compile.txt

I don't know if Bodhi's initrd has MDADM support, but I think it could be easily extended.
@bodhi: if it is not supported, you may consider this script as a starting point to include it?
https://github.com/davidedg/NAS-NS2MAX-mod/blob/master/initramfs/stage/scripts/init-top/mdadm

Only little gotcha is that you want to have a /boot partition on a MD device with metadata = 0.90, so that U-boot can recognize it.

@bodhi,

I booted another NSA325v2 using flashdisk and HDD's from the setup shown above.
Despite of the fact that the ethernet interface name has been changed due to the different MAC address everything went fine.

Meanwhile it seems that the serial console at my first device passed away which indicates that I most probably run into that trouble due to a HW problem.

Thanks a lot!

I'll take a look and include it if it's not.

@Davide,

The kernel has MDADM supports, but as Toms mentioned, it's loaded as module.

@Tomas,

Have you tried to load it as earlier as possible (i.e. in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules)? would that work (are your uImage and uInitrd in a normal Ext partition)?

OK, I tried to disable it as well but it fails at the .dtb part:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/arm/boot/dts/kirkwood-nsa325.dtb'.  Stop.
arch/arm/Makefile:312: recipe for target 'kirkwood-nsa325.dtb' failed

Thanks, I will try it when I succeed with the CodeSourcery as it is tested.

I hope that documentation on the kernel.org is not outdated. And honestly static compiling of mdadm and including it in initramfs sounds very complicated to me. So I would like to try the "kernel way".

Yes I tried it. My uImage and uInitrd are on small /boot parition that is not RAID device. Also the documentation explicitly says it won't work:
Boot time autodetection of RAID arrays
--------------------------------------

When md is compiled into the kernel (not as module), partitions of
type 0xfd are scanned and automatically assembled into RAID arrays.
This autodetection may be suppressed with the kernel parameter
"raid=noautodetect".  As of kernel 2.6.9, only drives with a type 0
superblock can be autodetected and run at boot time.

It is not clearly say that it won't work even if you loaded the module early enough in initrd.

In any case, I thought that's what davidedg meant to say above:

I don't know if Bodhi's initrd has MDADM support, but I think it could be easily extended.

I don't know, never had problem with compiling CODA. The errors you've listed did not ring any bell for me.
include/uapi/linux/coda.h:221:2: error: unknown type name 'u_quad_t'

According to Davide said above, MD works in his initrd. Perhaps you should look at your log to see how you set it up in initrramfs? Also since Davide got it working, may be we should see his dmesg to see when it is loaded.

@Thomas, @Bodhi,
Never had a problem with CodeSourcery ( I use it for U-boot, which I consider the most critical part)
Still - it may very well be that CodeSourcery has problems with CODA source code, I'm no expert in this field.
If you don't need CODA, just disable it for now, we'll get to that problem later.

My initramfs is custom built, loosely based on Debian's one but simplified.

At cost of being overly verbose, a little clarification to fully understand the boot process (before going into mdadm):

1. U-boot starts, reads its environment, runs bootcmd instructions
2. Kernel uImage, uInitrd/uInitramfs and DTB get loaded (only uImage is strictly mandatory for UBoot)
3. Kernel starts and initializes.

4a. If there is NO initramfs, kernel must have an env like "root=/dev/sda1" (pointing to an existing block device),
that is, a device which can be recognized by built-in drivers (ext3, ext4, etc).
These drivers must NOT be compiled as modules but as built-in.
The reason is pretty simple: since those modules' files are on the /lib/ dir on rootfs and rootfs is still not mounted, that would result in a chicken-egg problem.

4b. With a Initramfs/Initrd, the kernel mounts a temporary rootfs with the content of the initrd and then loads the init script inside it.
The purpose of initrd is then to:
- identify the rootfs (this gives flexibility to use LABELS for example).
- load required modules to access the rootfs.
- mount the rootfs into a tempdir of the temporary rootfs
- call the switch_root passing the "real" init script inside the "real" rootfs.

5. Init script of the real rootfs gets called and rest of boot process (sysv/systemd/upstart/etc.) takes place.


Now on MDADM:

If you want to use MD device only for DATA, of course no problem, as rootfs is already up and running.
This means that, for simplicity, you may want to use a small partition just for root (say, 5GB) and 1 for DATA in MD.

If, instead, you want to use MD for /boot or /root, then things complicate a little:

- U-boot cannot recognize MD, so, to be able to access /boot (uImage and uInitrd):
-> either you use a separate /boot partition not on MD - as Thomas is doing - but you won't benefit from mirroring,
-> or you use metadata=0.90 during mdadm create, which basically means that U-boot can still see the ext fs on top of md dev.

Next step, for rootfs partition: when kernel is loaded, before rootfs can be identified, its underlying MD device must be started.
As I said, I've never succeeded in using CONFIG_MD_AUTODETECT=Y so I just used mdadm in initramfs.

@Thomas: building static mdadm binary has indeed been a pain, and was actually needed only for my custom initramfs.
But the point is: if you stick to Bodhi's initrd, you quite certainly don't need to compile your own.

--> You just need to re-generate initrd with mdadm support. <--

To do this, you can install the mdadm package, which will install
the proper hooks into initramfs package and call update-initramfs for you.

The resulting (regenerated) initrd will have several new files supporting MD:
- scripts/local-top/mdadm
- the Kernel Module (md-mod.ko)
- configuration files


One potential problem you may face, though, is that your system is missing mdadm.conf
Looking at mdadm script, it seems to create one (with --examine --scan > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf)


If you followed me till now, you may be asking yourself HOW can you install mdadm package if your system cannot boot yet.
I personally use QEMU-user-mode and chroot into the rootfs structure (from my pc) and apt-get install mdadm from there.
Another option is to first install the NAS without MD, let it boot, then regenerate initrd by installing mdadm.
Then save that initrd and try reinstall with root on MD.


If you want to go ALL MD (everything protected), I strongly suggest to have separate /boot, / and data
/boot can be on MD, but, to be recognized by UBoot, MD device MUST be created with non-default settings (metadata 0.90)
Then have a rootfs "/" on it separate MD device.
Lastly I like having the DATA partition on its own MD, so that if I want to experiment with newer systems, data can be left untouched.


Sorry for so long post :D

It might be the case. I'm compiling natively with distcc.

@tomas,

hoping that I catched the task correctly I'll step in. I'm running LVM on LUKS on RAID based on bodhis prepwork provided bye his root filesystem mentioned above.

After booting from the flash disk you need to install the missing subsystems and their utilities (i.e. mdadm, lvm2 , maybe also cryptsetup).
Next you will prepare the disks ( eventually partitioning, create a mirror/raid, create the volume group/lvm's) so you finally will have mounted your target roofs. copy the rootfs currently used onto it and chroot into it.
Adjust /etc/fstab, /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (and, if relevant, /etc/crypttab).
Run "update-initramfs.d -u" followed by a mkimage as described at start of the thread.
The resulting uInitrd should be put on the flash disk .

Before you are booting you need to ensure that uboot's "bootarg" commandline contains the "root="-parameter pointing to the new root file system.

Because - in my case - the flash disk also contains the file containing the key to unlock the LUKS encrypted partition it works as a kind of dongle.

hope this helps,

Regards Joe

@jfp Thanks for you part. I plan to boot from disks and LVM seem unnecessary complication for two physical and no option to add more.

@davidedg Thanks for you verbose description it helped me to clear out how some of the things work. I hope I understand it correctly when I think that with correct kernel configuration I should be able to use /root system on RAID1 without initramfs (and mdadm) at all?

Most interesting part for me is that you say that metadata 0.90 RAID device should be readable for u-boot. So I cloud also have /boot on RAID. That would be better that copy kernel image manually to second disk.

Still I would like to try to build my own kernel. So I need solve issue with "make: *** [kirkwood-nsa325.dtb] Error 2".

Thanks to all.

As I said, I did not suceed in it without mdadm/initrd, but I'm using mdev and not udev, so maybe it's just a problem of my setup. If I find time I try to replicate on a debian vm.
But, initrd functionality is good anyway to have: eg: ability to use "LABEL=" in kernel boot envs. AFAIK you can't use "init=LABEL=myrootfslabel" if you don't use initrd.

I can definitely confirm it. If you need instructions on this:
https://github.com/davidedg/NAS-NS2MAX-mod/blob/master/install/install-on-hdd_mdadm.txt#L62
(keep in mind that example uses GPT, but it works fine for MBR, too).

What version of CodeSourcery are you using ?
I'm using 2013.05-23 (cfr: https://github.com/davidedg/NAS-NSA325-mod/blob/master/cross-compile/codesourcery-lite.txt )

Maybe it's obvious, but keep in mind that you must apply Bodhi's patches to vanilla kernel source code (because NSA325 is not mainlined yet).

HTH.
