 Arian | Or am I misremembering | 18:54:54 |
 Alyssa Ross | It's necessary if systemd is unavailable | 20:55:44 |
| Alyssa Ross | oh also systemd.pc points into systemd's output path | 20:56:12 |
| Alyssa Ross | you can't have a relative path in a .pc file | 20:56:35 |
| Alyssa Ross | the prefix in the .pc is systemd's prefix | 20:57:50 |
| Alyssa Ross | not the prefix of the package being built | 20:58:20 |
| Arian | ah | 21:18:35 |

 ElvishJerricco | Anyone have any idea why losetup would work, but mount -o loop would say "Failed to setup loop device"? | 01:03:51 |
| ElvishJerricco | trying to do fancy loop things with systemd initrd | 01:04:14 |
| Arian | You need loop kernel module for the mount -o loop | 01:19:34 |
| Arian | Is it available? | 01:19:44 |
| ElvishJerricco | yea, turns out I did something dumb | 01:22:35 |
| ElvishJerricco | well, only a little dumb. | 01:22:45 |
| ElvishJerricco | I was trying to mount an erofs image that has the immutable bit set in the file system, so mount was trying to set up the loop device as writable because I didn't pass the ro option. | 01:23:18 |

| ElvishJerricco | now I'm trying and failing to get dyndbg output on the overlay module | 01:36:57 |
| ElvishJerricco | Thought options overlay dyndbg=+pflm in modprobe.d would do it but nope | 01:37:16 |
 gdamjan | I think you can mount erofs without loop these days | 12:32:58 |

 Ramses 🇵🇸 | Does anyone know how you can actually mount an erofs image directly on a recent kernel? Just doing mount -t erofs <img> <mountpoint> seems to always use a loop device | 10:26:44 |
| Arian | Will probably need userspace support in mount | 11:30:30 |
| Arian | I think the choice to make a loop device is a userspace one so mount needs to be taught that it can skip that for erofs | 11:31:15 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | Right, makes sense | 13:09:56 |
| Arian | Maybe there is already code in master branch for it | 13:12:16 |
| Arian | I'd check. | 13:12:18 |
| Ramses 🇵🇸 | I had a quick look and didn't see any at first sight | 13:14:36 |

 @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | TIL that you can define drop-ins. Until now, I was overriding everything monkey-style. | 13:09:44 |
| @srestegosaurio:tchncs.de | Nice QoL improvement. | 13:10:06 |
