Using uuidd
|
|
-----------
|
|
The uuidd is a solution to guarantee unique time-based UUIDs. In the
|
|
past there was the problem that UUIDs created by libuuid have not been
|
|
guaranteed to be unique if you run multiple processes/threads which
|
|
create lots of UUIDs simultaneously. In order to use this daemon you
|
|
have to run this daemon with SUID/SGID bit set:
|
|
|
|
1. Modify your local permissions setting by adding the following
|
|
line to your /etc/permissions.local
|
|
/usr/sbin/uuidd uuidd:uuidd 6755
|
|
|
|
2. Set the permissions with
|
|
$ chkstat --set /etc/permissions.local
|
|
|
|
3. enable the service uuidd either in YaST or with
|
|
$ insserv uuidd
|
|
|
|
The damon is designed to run on demand by default, this means
|
|
it is started automatically by libuuid when needed and it
|
|
terminates by default after 5 minutes of inactivity.
|
|
However if you wish to run the daemon permanently you can
|
|
set the parameter UUIDD_ON_DEMAND_ONLY in /etc/sysconfig/uuidd
|
|
to "no".
|
|
Note, the damon is not needed in general to create time-based
|
|
UUIDs, it is only needed to assure the uniqueness of UUIDs
|
|
when creating lots of them in a short amount of time.

e2fsprogs-devel
|
|
---------------
|
|
Since the e2fsprogs libraries has been split out into own packages,
|
|
each having its own devel package
|
|
libext2fs-devel
|
|
libblkid-devel
|
|
libuuid-devel
|
|
libcom_err-devel
|
|
the e2fsprogs-devel package is deprecated and is provided for temporary
|
|
backwards compatibility only.
