i am having some nfs trouble and i think i have narrowed it down to a difference in the images: quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/silverblue:37 ghcr.io/cgwalters/fedora-silverblue:37 to test I created a repository https://github.com/graybush/testFromContainer and generated two images. ghcr.io/graybush/cgwalters:37-20230311 ghcr.io/graybush/fedora-ostree-desktops:37-20230311 each image has the same containerfile with the exception of the FROM statement. to start i have a fully updated, yet stock silverblue:37 install with an nfs mount defined in /etc/fstab that is mounted upon boot. when i rebase from a fully updated fedora/silverblue:37 base to the cgwalters image my nfs mount mounts on boot as expected. but when i rebase from the same fully updated fedora/silverblue:37 base to the fedora-ostree-desktops image my nfs mount does not automatically mount on boot. what am i missing?

i feel like these troubleshooting things are well suited to threads so, to be clear, the nfs mount works fine on both images... only on the one, it won't AUTO-mount at boot, right? i've got a VM i don't mind rebasing to your images
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
right. from the fedora-ostree-desktop image the mount does not automount, but if i do a sudo mount -a it mounts just fine
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
no messages in journal about this?

not sure, i've been looking at this all day and might of forgotten some things, sorry!

i just spent hours debugging a problem which was a combination of a missing path in /var/log, and then when i attempted to create it, there was a systemd race condition ( my ordering wasn't right) and then finally an incorrect selinux context... so I'm sure it could be super tricky, but there's probably SOME clue,
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
i am going to put my vm back on the fedora-ostree image and i'll look at the journal at this point i am pretty confident that if you have an nfs mount defined in the stock silverblue then rebase between those images in one you'll see the mount auto mount just fine and in the other nothing, that is pretty much as far as i've gotten. it's been a journey thus far, lol

when looking thru the journal journalctl -p 3 -xb the only errors i see are:

100uFOPā€¢2y ago
when i look through the journal for the cgwalters image i can search for the mount point /mnt/nas and i can clearly see it mounting. but when i search the journal for the fedora-ostree-desktops image there is nothing, i dont see an attempt or error, just nothing.

ok, so... seeing /mnt/nas work in one journal and NOTHING in the other... that seems of interest

like... if the same set of packages are installed, then maybe one is configured differently. what's the fstab nfs mount look like?

no, i really appreciate the second set of eyes. i've been on this all day, it took me a while to narrow it down to something about these to base images
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
yeah, this is definitely part of the 'experimental' nature of things... it's hard to know where the bug is or if it's just part of the "new way"

does walter's image have some automounting package or some other convenience thing perhaps?

trying to fix a networking issue on my desktop so i can test this the way i want
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
left and right, you can see on the left systemd var-lib-nfs-rpc_pipefs.mount and var-mnt-nas.mount , then nothing on the right. that is basically what i've observed until this point on the cgwalters container things automounting, on the fedora-ostree-desktops container nothing...

ok, finally got my network bridge setup properly... never should have tried to use the GUI šŸ™‚ it just caused problems rebasing to you cgwalters-based image
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
yeah i feel like i need stand up another vm, i keep rolling back and rebasing back and forth between images
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
what is systemd-boot-unsigned?
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
i do not know the Container files I used to generate the images are exactly the same with the exception of the FROM statement
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
ok, i just noticed that this was added as something i didn't already have random: any reason you aren't using ublue-os/main for your base? or is it exactly this issue since its' based on the image which doesn't automount nfs
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
ublue-os/main ultimately comes from fedora-ostree-desktop i would like to use ublue-os/main the contianer i would like to use is graybush/simsulator, it is for my daughter and it uses ublue-os/main but i keep the home dirs and some data on an nfs server so today when attempting to switch her computer over, i ran into this problem my main workstation has been using silverblue ublue since december
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
yep makes sense happy to be another set of eyes, this is the kind of thing i want to work too
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
yeah so in debug i traced the problem down to when the base for ublue-base switched, so i created these images to get right to the problem which was about jan 24th i believe
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
ok, i have an nfs mount in my fstab... and mounted manually. 192.168.129.10:/data/files/music /mnt/music nfs4 defaults 0 0 and.. i'm on ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/graybush/cgwalters:37-20230311 and... i'll reboot and see what happens
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
i switched my main workstation over to silverblue in dec, since that time i have had 3 problems, a freeipa problem, this nfs automount issue, and another systemctl --user issue
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
mounted, auto-mounted, which you expect
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
other than that, silverblue has been a game changer for me yeah cgwlaters mounts everytime
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
yep
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
now if all you do is rebase to the fedora-ostree-desktop image it will not automount
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
k
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
which may or may not be a big deal, unless you want to keep home dirs on nfs well, i should say i would typically rollback then rebase
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
i'm just pinning and rebasing
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
is there a fundamental difference between pinning and rebasing vs rollback and rebasing? i would think they are the same,but to make sure i rolledback
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
well, pinning just lets you ensure that older builds don't get replaced as you upgrade/layer/rebase i'm not sure what you mean by rollback exactly rolling back a VM?
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
after rebasing and confirming that the mount didnt work i would rpm-ostree rollback then reboot, then rebase
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
ah
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
i do use the pining feature, just wasnt sure if there was a difference
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
i don't think rollback is needed
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
gotcha
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
not for this anyway it's more like "oops, i layered something i don't actually want and rollback is fastest way to revert" maybe? i've never used it šŸ˜„ i'm guessing here ok, rebooted into fedora-ostree-desktops... comparing rpm package lists and journal logs
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
i would think pining would be fine, but just to make sure i would rollback to the stable fedora:37 ver then rebase
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
as you say, only bolt differs in the package list
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
yes for me journal logs didnt show any errors, just an absence of mounting the nas
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
ok, yeah, i'm going to clone the /etc dirs on the respective images and check that next... it looks like something has to be different in the config
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
clone the /etc dirs, I do not follow, what do you mean? how?
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
well, /var and /etc are the mutable bits in this setup but... /etc is layered ... so your mutable /etc has default stuff underneath so i'm just storing data between reboots i'm actually ssh-ing into my VM as root and doing thigns since it's easier but i ran these commands so far
journalctl -b > journal-cgwalters.log
rpm -qa > rpmqa-cgwalters.log
journalctl -b > journal-fedora-ostree-desktops.log
rpm -qa > rpms-fedora-ostree-desktops.log
journalctl -b > journal-cgwalters.log
rpm -qa > rpmqa-cgwalters.log
journalctl -b > journal-fedora-ostree-desktops.log
rpm -qa > rpms-fedora-ostree-desktops.log
and that's stored in my home-dir for easy searching and for etc
100uF
100uFOPā€¢2y ago
yup, that makes sense
bsherman
bshermanā€¢2y ago
cp -a /etc etc-fedora-ostree-desktops and cp -a /etc etc-cgwalters but then i have snapshots to compare conceptually, not literally šŸ™‚

systemctl enable --now nfs-client.target
systemctl enable --now remote-fs.target
systemctl enable --now nfs-client.target
then your mount should occur, and reoccur on reboot just verified with a reboot here, too

so, i'm old school enough that i didn't really "know" how systemd does nfs exactly, i know it would control it, but i didn't recallhow exactly so, I started with the easy to check stuff... which you helped with initially by noticing the difference in journal logs then confirming those rpm package lists then comparing /etc files now that ruled out differences in files like /etc/nfsmount.conf ... but... it may have also been a bit misleading since it didn't check for missing or dangling symlinks... and systemd uses those a fair bit for "enabled" or not, and service/target relationships anyway, then i decided to study the good journal in more detail and then inspect the status of the nfs related services where were running in it so a key thing i paid attention too on the cgwalters side Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nfs-client.target; enabled; preset: disabled it's nfs-client was enabled but that's not default... as the preset is disabled but when enabling nfs-client was not enough to automount, i just happened to remember that remote-fs is a thing

yeah those are excellent points, i am wondering if i would of looked closer at the systemd units that load the nfs mounts if i might of caught this i def know about nfs-client, im not so sure about remote-fs

yeah, the most direct path would hav ebeen seeing "oh, nfs-client is not running" then doing status on it... but more than just running status
# systemctl cat nfs-client.target

that clearly shows you that the nfs-client.target interacts with remote-fs.target

yes it does

more specifically, enabling-remotefs.target may be all we need? i will test, now i'm curious

btw answered the question... all that seems to be needed is systemctl enable remote-fs.target it seems to force nfs-client auto-mounts on reboot even if nfs-client.target is disabled regardless, having both enabled won't hurt

sounds like I could add that line to my git's Containerfile and it should resolve this issue ... good to know

yeah, that would do it, you'll see a number of systemctl enable FOO lines in the ublue-os Containerfiles (or the scripts they call, like https://github.com/ublue-os/main/blob/main/post-install.sh
