Simply things so that "#REQUIRE: FILESYSTEMS" means the file
systems are fully "ready to go".

'FILESYSTEMS' states: "This is a dummy dependency, for services which
require file systems to be mounted before starting." However, we have
'var' which is was run after 'FILESYSTEMS' and can mount /var if it
already isn't mounted. Furthermore, several scripts cannot use /var
until 'cleanvar' has done its thing. Thus "FILESYSTEMS" hasn't really
meant all critical file systems are fully usable.


# 231507 11-Feb-2012 dougb

In the days before r208307 addswap was running early in the second stage
of rcorder. Somehow in the intervening period addswap got moved to the
very end, which is almost certainly not what we want.

This change moves it to right after kld so that for users who need it,
they'll get it ASAP.


# 223264 18-Jun-2011 dougb

Add rc.d/kld to load kernel modules after local disks are up.

# 168283 02-Apr-2007 des

Add a dummy script, FILESYSTEMS, which depends on root and mountcritlocal
and takes over mountcritlocal's role as the early / late divider. This
makes it far easier to add rc scripts which need to run early, such as a
startup script for zfs, which is right around the corner.

This change should be a no-op; I have verified that the only change in
rcorder's output is the insertion of FILESYSTEMS immediately after
mountcritlocal.

# 165664 30-Dec-2006 yar

Eliminate global symbols starting with an underscore from rc.d
scripts, except for mdconfig* and jail. Such symbols are reserved
for the rc.subr internals. Most scripts can be fixed by just
declaring _foo symbols as local: few scripts actually need them to
be global.

Allow chkprintcap(8) to be run before lpd is started. Disabled by
default for now. Default flags create missing directories.

Remove comment about doing this in etc/rc.d/var.

Unlike in the PR, I chose to do this in the lpd script where we reliably
have /usr available.

# 142965 02-Mar-2005 brooks

If we don't have /usr/sbin/mtree, try to mount /usr. We're only likely
to hit this case when /usr is remote and thus hasn't been mounted (since
you're supposed to have /var before mounting remote file systems).
Normal machines that don't have a /var for some reason will have /usr
already available because it's local.


# 142962 02-Mar-2005 brooks

- Update etc/rc.d/newsyslog to FreeBSD standards and install it.
- Enable it by default, running newsyslog with -CN which creates files
that have the C flag specified in /etc/newsyslog.conf.
- Remove the "newsyslog -CC" call from etc/rc.d/var and the check for
newsyslog.
- Add the C flag to entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf that are currently
installed as part of the base system.

There are two effects from this change:
- Users who delete default syslog files to stop logging to them
will need to set newsyslog_enable=NO in rc.conf or remove the C
flag from those file in /etc/newsyslog.conf or they will come back
on the next boot.
- Diskless systems now create the same set of files that ordinary
systems have by default instead of every file in newsyslog.conf.


# 142957 01-Mar-2005 brooks

- Remove the dependency of /usr/bin/touch by using "cp /dev/null <target>"
to create /var/log/lastlog.
- Also create /var/log/wtmp if missing.
- Attempt to create these files unless populate_var is NO rather then
only when /var is empty or populate_var=YES.


# 137451 09-Nov-2004 keramida

Add two new rc.conf options: tmpmfs_flags and varmfs_flags.

These can be used to pass extra options to the mdmfs(8) utility,
to customize the finer details of the md file system creation
(i.e. to turn on/off softupdates, to specify a default owner for md
filesystem, etc).

Use these two new flags to mount tmpmfs and varmfs without
softupdates, since it doesn't make much sense to use SU on
malloc-backed file systems.

A power failure left the temporary /var/.diskless directory
on my system, and since then my /var was always created as
MFS which was very surprising. Fix this for /tmp and /var.


# 127345 23-Mar-2004 brooks

Overhaul the /etc/rc.d/diskless script by splitting it out into
hostname, resolve, tmp, and var scripts. The latter three are new and
were repo copied. These scripts no longer depend on being booted with
and NFS root instead attempt to automaticly create mfs /tmp and /var
volumes if the they are not writable. This behavior can be overridden
in /etc/rc.conf.

# 108191 22-Dec-2002 dillon

Do not unconditionally load the configuration files for the RCNG case.
Instead, load them as part of the rc.d system. This allows us to prioritize
the initidiskless script so it runs before the configuration files are loaded
and allows us to get rid of the exit 2 hack in /etc/rc. The exit 2 never
worked anyway since it did not unset the prior configuration, causing the
diskless code to not operate properly.

Do a major cleanup and revamping of the diskless code for RCNG. This will
be backported to the non-RCNG scripts as well as -stable.

The existing bazaar and site-specific policy in rc.diskless1 is Just Wrong;
and looks like no other Unix diskless configuration I've ever seen.
Thus allow a more traditional /etc.

Note, the use of an MFS /var should also be settable.
Otherwise installing ports(packages) is just a total PITA.


# 88497 26-Dec-2001 rwatson

o Add a comment indicating that if /tmp==/var/tmp in rc.diskless2, the
md device and file system creation occurs *after* mtree is run, and
as such an /var/tmp/* or /tmp/* entries will be under the mountpoint
(or fail) rather than appearing in the md filesystems. This prevents
the creation of vi.recover, and might affect other localizations that
rely on the mtree calls affecting these directories.

# 77575 01-Jun-2001 ru

Remove vestiges of MFS.


# 76409 09-May-2001 bsd

* Simplify the population of the /etc memory filesystem. To avoid
the null mount, we currently create a temporary mfs on /tmp, copy
/etc to /tmp, then mount /etc as mfs and copy everything back from
/tmp, then delete the /tmp mfs.

The patch eliminates the temporary /tmp mfs and the subsequent
copying and simply populates the /etc mfs by copying from
/conf/default/etc. This requires that /conf/default/etc contain a
complete copy of all the /etc stuff instead of just overrides. I
don't think that is too much of an extra step in setting up a
diskless environment.

* Provide the ability to make /tmp a memory filesystem independent
of /var. This removes the requirement that /tmp be a symlink to
/var/tmp and this makes the diskless code work with the default
filesystem layout. If a seperate /tmp memory filesystem is
created, the 'tmpsize' environment variable is used to determine
its size (default to 10 Meg).

* Reduce diffs between the -current and -stable versions of these
files to a bare minimum. Only the definition of the shell
function 'mount_md' is different.

# 59674 27-Apr-2000 sheldonh

Add to defaults/rc.conf a new function source_rc_confs which rc
scripts may use to source safely overrides in ${rc_conf_files}
files.

This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying
/etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf from a recursive loop
that exhausts available file descriptors.

Several people have expressed interest in breaking this function
out into its own shell script. Anyone who wants to embark on
such an undertaking would do well to study the attributed PR.
