2011-06-18[archiso] Use dm-snapshot instead of aufs2 (A.K.A. "The Big Commit")Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem. * A block-level approach vs vfs-level. * No more unofficial (Linux) things. * More memory is needed. * Refactor mkarchiso. * Refactor hooks/archiso. * Fix install/archiso_pxe_nbd (due recent change in mkinitcpio-0.6.15 on checked_modules()/all_modules()) [Thanks Dave for the improved workaround] * New configs/releng to build official images. * Works with a Bash script instead of Makefile. (better control and easy to maintain) * Remove configs/syslinux-iso. * Remove archiso2dual script. Integrate functionality in configs/releng. * New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template. * New README (draft). [Thanks Dieter for fixing english grammar] Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-12-07[archiso] Add support to mount iso in loopback mode.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Add two parameters: img_dev=/dev/sdNM where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located. img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev. Original idea from Baurzhan Muftakhidinov. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-07-09Rename directories and parameteres to be more descriptiveGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* squashfs images that will be part of read-only branchs for union mount in / are mounted on /ro_branch/{image_name} instead of /tmpfs/mnt/{image_name} (and avoid empty dirs on live env under /mnt) * tmpfs that will be part of read-write branch for union mount in / is mounted on /rw_branch instead of /tmpfs * tmpfs that is for store *.sqfs images when copytoram=y, is mounted on /copytoram instead of /tmpfs.sqfs * tmpfs_size= parameter renamed to rw_branch_size= * tmpfs_sqfs_size= parameter renamed to copytoram_size= Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-06-23Make it compatible with latest mkinitcpio.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Latest init script mounts a /dev FS, so /dev/loop0 will disappear. Create loop0 on /lib/udev/devices so udev copy to /dev on startup. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-05-16archiso_pxe_nbd: Remove unnecessary/unsupported network modulesThomas Bächler
The archiso_pxe_nbd hook adds all network modules, including ones that are not supported: The hook only supports ethernet devices, so there is no need to add wireless, wimax, ppp, irda and plip modules. Adding the wireless modules had an undesired side effect: The wireless driver was loaded in the initramfs stage, where the required crypto modules were unavailable. This caused the initialization of the wireless devices to fail. This patch removes all network modules except ethernet.

2010-03-17[archiso] Add nbd hook, to make posible boot archiso from PXE via a NBD.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
nbd (network block device utilities) package is required. This package is in AUR at this moment: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691 Also mkinitcpio-nfs-utils is required for ipconfig. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-03-16Remove archiso_early hook, use /dev/disk/by-label/${archisolabel} instead.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by 60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook. Tested on: * Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive. * KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI) * VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM. IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=, to force and specific device where live-media reside. (Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future) More info at: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2010-March/000890.html http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2010-March/000913.html Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-03-01Welcome back copytoram= optionGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Fixes FS#17182: copytoram=y does not work with aufs The solution is simple, just use a directory outside aufs tree. * If copytoram=y, then another tmpfs is mounted but on /tmpfs.sqfs * Add a new option: tmpfs_sqfs_size= (default to 75%) * Lock cdrom drive is not locked if copytoram=y Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-02-18Rename archiso-early hook to archiso_earlyGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
To make compatible with disablehooks= param. Since "hook_archiso-early" is not a valid variable name. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-02-17Take advantage of module autoloading when mounting images as loopGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Make first /dev/loop0 device at archiso install hook. * Remove unneeded losetup, all is done directly via mount. * Images are now mounted on /tmpfs/mnt/image-name instead of /tmpfs/mnt/loopN, removing unneeded counter. * Add some variables to make code more readable.

2010-02-16Implement mount hook function in archiso hook.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Next version of mkinitcpio > 0.6.2 implements mount hook functionality. So can avoid skipping normal flow of main init script, and removing common end code with it. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2009-01-24Advanced USB delay handlingAaron Griffin
USB boot delay is now handled with the usbdelay kernel param (default=0) We use the built in delay of usb-storage to control this. by setting the module's delay param. If your USB device doesn't work on first boot, try setting usbdelay=10 or so Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
