AIF question: USELVM="yes" not set during configuration

Just installed Arch from the new (2010.05) install images on a new laptop.  Everything working brilliantly, but I have one question.  I set up my system to use LVM on top of dm-crypt, and the AIF tool did a splendid job of auto-configuring everything: /etc/fstab, the hooks in order in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, and the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst were all automatically configured just right.  The only thing that wasn't automatically set was the value for USELVM in /etc/rc.conf.  I set it to "yes" during the installation, and everything has been working great (with the exception of an error message about file locking initialisation on boot, but elsewhere on the forum I've read that that is a harmless message). 
But I was curious why this value wasn't set automatically by AIF: does AIF simply not mess with /etc/rc.conf at all, is it impossible or unadvisable to do this?  Alternatively, it is actually unnecessary to set USELVM="yes" if you've got LVM on top of dm-crypt?
I am really just curious, since AIF did such a great job of auto-configuring everything else.  I almost second-guessed myself setting USELVM="yes" manually, but as I say, everything is working as it should.
Thanks for any info on this, and thanks devs for an awesome distro and a great installer (even better than my last install a few years ago!)

In my experience, you are correct.  AIF does not change rc.conf EXCEPT for altering the configuration with network interfaces during installation.  And as you brought up, since the programming is there to parse rc.conf and modify the networking settings in-line with text, why doesn't it set things like LVM automatically in rc.conf?  I believe it is because the code simply isn't there for the LVM creation.  And I think requesting it from Arch is a reasonable request. 
As to your question, I would definitely use USELVM="yes" because I have had problems before when I didn't.  I'm not exactly sure where the setting is actually applied, but I know that rc.conf is parsed during boot right after the initial ramdisk and getting that setting in there at the lowest level during boot is best.

  • JSF RI  1.1_01: UIInput component value was not set during render response

    I've just started to learn JSF, read corresponding chapters in J2EE guide and spec and tried to play little bit with JSF RI 1.1_01. I found very strange (at least for me) behaviour of regular input component (corresponds to inputText tag).
    I have very simple example form (contains "select one", input component and command button). Corresponding backing bean has request scope. I set breakpoints in backing bean getters and during debug found:
    1. On initial request both getters were called during rendering phase.
    2. On form submit request getter for property bound to input component was called again (this looks strange for me) but getter for property bound to select box was not called (it looks as I've expected). This strange call occurs during validation phase. As far as I understand it was the following flow:
    a) During initial request rendering response input box value wwas not stored in component state (I even may suggest that it was not set on component, just corresponding HTML tag with initial value was rendered).
    b) On submit form submitted string value of input component was decoded from request parameters but local value was set to null (see above).
    c) During validation phase submitted value was successfully converted and validated.
    d) Then implementation had to detect component value change and called getValue() in order to obtain old value.
    e) Implementation of getValue() first looked for local value field - it is null, then it should request for bound value from model.
    I tried different ways to store state (client or server) but it was the same. Sadly MyFaces 1.1.1 implementation did even worse - local value of select was also null during first postback.
    I wonder why it was implemented this way...
    Thank you

    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gnome-doc-utils.pc'

  • ORG values for parameters not set in configuration

    Hi All,
    We are creating parent / child roles for FICO & MM for a project. The business requirement / configuration is such that the org values are available only for Company code and Purchasing organization. What is the appropriate way to set this up in the child roles? For e.g. should we put in * for plant , purchasing group etc or leave it BLANK
    Please provide your comments
    Thanks in advance
    Vijaya

    Hi
    FI relies on company codes (mainly) and MM relies on plant, Porg etc (again - mainly) but, without all the other objects being filled in your roles won't work.
    It depends on your client's needs I suppose but it does sound a little open to me but each set up has their own design requirements, you'll have to put * in the rest of the very many org levels (and cost centres, release strategies, etc - too many to mention at org/object) if you aren't given the information either due to lack of knowledge by the functional guys (not likely, hopefully) or a top down 'do what I say approach'.
    I'd get the spec in an email from somebody responsible for the implementation from the business and save it for the auditors...
    Cheers

  • HT1386 I have a new iPhone and want to purchase a ringtone on iTunes.  It keeps asking for answers to a question that I did not set up and don't have the answer for.  How do I get pass this dilemma?

    I have a new iphone and want to purchase ringtones from itunes.  Itunes is asking answers for security questions I did not set up and I can't answer them.  How do I get past this to be able to purchase.  I can purchase songs on my MAC and sync but itunes doesn't give the option to purchase ringtones on the MAC, just the iphone.

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • MFL: The dependency is not configured in schema resource. Possible reason one or more import/include is not set   correctly.

    HI Friends,
    I have a created a MFL to transform XML to Non XML format. When am generating a XSD out of this MFL am getting this Error:
    The dependency is not configured in schema resource. Possible reason one or more import/include is not set
    correctly.
    Here is the snippet of the XSD:

    Later Part i have searched for mfl.xsd in com.bea.wli.core.mflengine_1.x.x.x.jar in my.........../Oracle_OSB1/modules  and imorted this XSD into my eclipse workspace.
    Then i added the schemalocation attribute to the Import element. which looks something like below:

    After doing these changes also am getting the same error... can anyone help me out of this????

    Hi Arun,
    Also in SB console we can refer xsds from other projects but again OEPE doesnt seem to support that we will have to make duplicate copies of the resources in each project.It is not like that if you are using OEPE then you can not refer resources from other projects. Just what you need to do is that give relative path of the resource which is there in the file system. It does not matter that to which project it belongs. Yes, now with OEPE, you have to do this manually.

  • Forgot password for users for whom challenge questions are not set

    Hi,
    I have a scenario here where initially the environment property for force setting challenge questions during first login was not set to true.
    But it has been set to true later. But for users created prior setting this property to true, the forgot password link is taking to a page to answer challenge questions which obviously is not working.
    Is there anyway to handle this scenario without doing ADF customization? For example say, to force all previous users also to set challenge questions for whom the challenge questions are not set.

    Hi, In your scenario, since user has forgotten his/her password and he has not set his answers to questions, so the only option left is calling Help Desk. Help desk guys should educate end users that go to OIM->My Information -> Set Security Questions. This is the only easy way I can think of.

  • Variable not set (error 91)/Error during import (error 102)/execut bat file

    We are on BO 11.5.0.0 and using the COM SDK with Visual Basic to run multiple reports (sometimes multiple flavors of the same report) through a bat file.
    If we run the reports single-threaded through the bat file, the reports run fine.  However, if multiple versions of the bat file start at approximately the same time, we get one of two errors:
    91 Object variable or With block variable not set
    102 Error during import document -
    Here's the part of the code with the problem:
    Dim BOapp As busobj.Application
    Dim receiveDoc As busobj.Document
    Set BOapp = New busobj.Application
    BOapp.Interactive = False
    BOapp.Logon strUser, strPass, strFromSystem, "Enterprise", False, False
    BOapp.Visible = False
    Set receiveDoc = BOapp.Documents.OpenFromEnterprise(strFromRep, strFromFolder, boFolder)
    receiveDoc.SaveAs (strDocumentPath & strFromRep & ".REP")
    Values for the following variables are passed in from the bat file:
    strUser
    strPass
    strFromSystem
    strFromRep
    strFromFolder
    strDocumentPath
    If it fails on the OpenFromEnterprise statement, we get the 102 error.
    If it fails on the SaveAs statement, we get the 91 error.
    Running it through debug hasn't helped, since we are running only one report.
    Any thoughts on what could be going wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    I have tried this running the VB code on my desktop (outside of the bat file) and nothing out of the ordinary occurs.  The VB code runs fine with only one occurrence.
    I had seen on other posts "ThisDocument" and didn't know if it would be applicable in this situation.  I also wasn't sure how it should be used based on the rest of my code.  Would "ThisDocument" make a difference?
    Thanks again
