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.
This has the following advantages:
- During boot, the BOOT_TIME record is now written right after the file
systems become writable, but before users are allowed to log in. This
means that they can't cause `hidden logins' by logging in right before
init(8) kicks in.
- The pututxline(3) function may potentially block on file locking,
though this is very rare to occur. By placing it in an rc script, the
user can still kill it with ^C if needed.
- Most importantly: jails don't use init(8). This means that a force
reboot of a system running jails will leave stale entries in the
accounting database of the jails individually.
assignments to the literal values it would have returned.
The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks
it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially
noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.
During the discussion on freebsd-rc@ a preference was expressed for
using ${name}_enable instead of the literal values. However the
code portability concept doesn't really apply since there are so
many other places where the literal name has to be searched for
and replaced. Also, using the literal value is also a tiny bit
faster than dereferencing the variables, and every little bit helps.
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.

to light by the PR. Specifically, convert these three scripts
into good rc.d citizens, making sure that their functionality
is preserved, but the rc.d framework rules are not broken.
Add support for cleanvar as a regular rc.d script in the
default rc.conf, and document this in the man page.
Add a descriptive comment to rc.conf that regarding the
three emulation/compatibility services provided by abi
so users will not be confused by these services not having

hostname, resolve, tmp, and var scripts. The latter three are new and
were repo copied. These scripts no longer depend on being booted with

volumes if the they are not writable. This behavior can be overridden
in /etc/rc.conf.
