We get posts like this over on the Samba mailing list, from the info
provided it is virtually impossible to help, you might just as well
have said 'hey, I have a problem with nfs, how do I fix it' ;-)

From what has been posted, is the NFS server actually running ? If it
is, is it possibly hanging ? Is a firewall or selinux or apparmor in
the way ?

Argh, solved, 101.
Another thing the migration to Ascii borked.
I'll have to check that it starts next reboot.
I've already checked runlevel and that scripts exist for the nfs parts,
so it is another mystery to chase up why.

FWIW, the migration borked the static networking and shoved it over to
dhcp. 

Thanks.

Caught me by surprise as due to mail server security the change IP
refused posting. WTF?
Head scratching lead to running 'sudo ifconfig' and spotting the dhcp
IP range.

Comments on IRC:Devuan indicated that something rotates/scrambles cards
listed in udec/persistent-net-rules.

The first one was commented out and was from a old motherboard, but the
system had been recently running on a new motherboard for
months. I appears it commented out the current net card,
looked for the old(?) and then invoked dhcdp and connected. 

Fixing the commenting or not in the file, removing dhcp and a rebooting
fixed stuff.

Thankfully it didn't delete any of the static networking information.

[DNG] service localfs

2018-07-05 Thread J. Fahrner

Hi,

I have a problem with vmware startup scripts. The script 
/etc/init.d/vmware-USBArbitrator contains the follwing dependency:


# Required-Start: localfs

But there is no such service in Devuan. Seems to have something to do 
with systemd. I can remove this dependency from that script, but it gets 
overwritten with every update of vmware player.


Does someone know what this "localfs" is? Can I install some fake, so I 
don't have to change this script after very update?


Jochen
