Description:
Currently lockdev tries to store lockfiles directly in /run/lock. (to be precise it's /var/lock, which is a symlink to /run/lock) The permissions of /run/lock are root:root 755. Therefore locking for regular programs won't work. For this reason /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/legacy.conf creates the directory /run/lock/lockdev, owned by root:lock. To change the directory which lockdev uses one can define the macro _PATH_LOCK (see lockdev.c) which is used instead of the default. This way regular users in the group lock can lock devices via lockdev. This is how it is done by Fedora. Additional Information: The source (debian patch) for the version currently shipped by arch is no longer available. Bumping the Version to 1.0.3_1.5 works. Some programs are statically linked with liblockdev (libcec comes to mind), those should obviously be rebuilt. Talk on systemd mailing list: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-March/001823.html Fedora defines _PATH_LOCK: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/lockdev.git/tree/lockdev.spec?id=424d0f27b9bc746135e71b0e687a3c00b3e13339#n61 |
