Binary package hint: sysfsutils
Although libsysfs and sysfsutils work flawlessly on 2.6.22 kernel,
with the 2.6.24 one I cannot have /etc/init.d/sysfsutils running.
Starting it via the init script simply does nothing, despite displaying "Setting sysfs variables..." (no "done" string however appears!)
Trying to re-install sysfsutils generates a dpkg-configure error saying
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: sysfsutils is broken or not fully installed
however no way reinstalling it solves the problem (notice that rebooting with 2.6.22 kernel sysfsutils works again) |
Binary package hint: sysfsutils
if I set sysfs.conf as follows
# this enables lowest power state for SATA link host nr. 0,1,2
class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy = min_power
class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy = min_power
class/scsi_host/host2/link_power_management_policy = min_power
and run sysfsutils only the first scsi_host link is set to min_power.
Checking with 'cat' confirms the following output.
$ sudo sh -ex /etc/init.d/sysfsutils start
+ CONFFILE=/etc/sysfs.conf
+ [ -r /etc/sysfs.conf ]
+ echo -n Setting sysfs variables...
Setting sysfs variables...+ sed s/#.*$//; /^[[:space:]]*$/d;
s/^[[:space:]]*\([^=[:space:]]*\)[[:space:]]*\([^=[:space:]]*\)[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*\(.*\)/\1 \2 \3/ /etc/sysfs.conf
+ read f1 f2 f3
+ [ class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy = mode -a -n min_power -a -n ]
+ [ class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy = owner -a -n min_power -a -n ]

+ [ -f /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy ]
+ echo -n min_power
$
Sysfsutils manages to give a successful output only when sysfs.conf is set with only one scsi_host link tweak.
As far as I managed to understand the presence of other tweaks (for instance tweaks to cpu governor and sound card) did not affect this bug.
The only blocking tweak is the scsi_host link.
All tweaks that in sysfs.conf follow the first scsi_host link directive are ignored. However if they are put above to be executed first they are carried out fine.
Changing the first scsi_host link doesn't positively affect the bug (host0, host1 and so on always cause the bug to appear).
