Well, I just did a:

$ mkinitcpio -H systemd
==> Help for hook ‘systemd’:
This will install a basic systemd setup in your initramfs, and is meant to
replace the ‘base’, ‘usr’, ‘udev’ and ‘resume’ hooks. Other hooks with runtime
components will need to be ported, and will not work as intended. You also may
wish to still include the ‘base’ hook (before this hook) to ensure that a
rescue shell exists on your initramfs.

I don’t know, i just want to not see the warning again:

==> WARNING: Possibly missing ‘/bin/sh’ for script: /usr/bin/mount.glusterfs

And this makes it disappear.
I don’t know the consequences, Manjaro is booting.

When I do not have “base” (HOOKS=) in my mkinitcpio.conf - I get this error too…

Did I need mount.glusterfs? Is it for mount a filesystem in a server? I don’t have any server. Should I uninstall it? If I uninstall it, will base in HOOKS still necessary? This is the only warning in mkinitcpio.

51

If you look at the link above you will know base is not a requirement so long as you use the systemd hook.

Yes, I said it is not a requriement if using systemd hook … and your output verifies that ?

56

I am answering my own question, I removed glusterfs, as my computer is only a desktop thing, no initial mount of external filesystem.

Yes base is optional.

57

but… “# ‘base’ is required unless you know precisely what you are doing.”

A post was split to a new topic: I would like to try KDE 6 alpha

59

Optional when using the systemd hook as it only provides a busybox recovery shell.
Note: The recovery shell is not usable since the root account in the initramfs is locked. See FS#70408.

I understand you can add base in front of systemd to produce a normal shell is the preferred method?

61

No.

Read the link (or just the quotations here) again.

Fix incoming

I have to ask, was there something strange going on with kernel 66 yesterday?

I updated my system in the morning, did not really work with anything that demanded my gpu but in the evening I wanted to play some games and got an error stating my nvidia drivers were one version behind, I checked the boot logs and yep, there was the same warning.

I ran a new sync and update and yet a kernel update.
Rebooted and it all works fine, but what might have been the cause of this?
(I ALWAYS check I have at least one mirror synced before update)

66

Seems that something strange going on with kernel 6.6 today too.
A lot of updates 6.6.2-4, 6.6.2-5, 6.6.2-6…
Looking forward to 6.6.2-7 :wink:
