[mythtv-users] gentoo baselayout 2 - restart ing mythbackend.. on internet restart

[Andrew Stadt]

Sorry about the top post, I'm on my droid at the moment and it doesn't give me a choice.

IIRC, you can change a setting in /etc/rc.conf (rc_depend_strict I think) that determines how it handles dependancies for services, net in this case. You may also want to ensure that /etc/init.d/net.eth1 is in the default run level and you're not depending on the device manager to hotplug it for you.

Sorry can't give more detail at the moment, but I'm about 1200 miles from my computer.

BTW: when you upgraded from baselayout-1 to baselayout-2 did you run dispatch-conf?  For some reason on my systems the ebuild did not do this automatically.

HTH,

Andrew.

Subject: [mythtv-users] gentoo baselayout 2 - restart ing mythbackend.. on internet restart

Hi All 

I have a long running mythtv backend running on gentoo that is also used
as my router/domain controller/firewall e.t.c.... A recent update has
moved the system to baselayout 2 and a disturbing behaviour has started
impacting mythtv seriously.. 

I have a fairly dodgy ppp link due to old wiring in my building so I
have a ppp setting that resets the connection after failed LCP
requests... 

Until now that had no impact on any other service .. 

Now it restarts almost every network service running and that includes
nfs, samba and mythbackend... .

It would make sense if these reset on a restart of eth1 (my internal
network interface) but they seem to be linked to both internal and
external interfaces.. 

Does anyone know how to stop this behaviour (I'm hoping someone else
running myth on gentoo has come across this recently)

Regards

Allan
