2010-03-18[archiso] Rename nbd hook to archiso_nbdGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
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>
2010-03-16Revert back isohybrid offset to default setting.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
This revert back the commit 991a5c69. This causes more problems than solving (fixing the warning issue in parted) With the default offset 0: * makes posibble to create others extra partitions on USB key and use them inside the live enviroment. * makes posible to use /dev/disk/by-label/ symlinks. archiso_early hook, can be removed. Note: archboot also uses the default offset 0.

2010-03-01Split aufs mount command from _mnt_squashfs()Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
New function _mnt_aufs(). Don't display incorrect message (Adding new aufs...) when no aufs branch is mounted, because mount type is bind. Also, makes the code more clean :) 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>

* 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.

2009-11-30mkarchiso: cleaned up to use isohybrid onlySven-Hendrik Haase
2009-11-23mkarchiso: cleanup opts, user dir creationSven-Hendrik Haase
As in title, this patch cleans up opt flags that exist for no reason and adds additional flags to modify the disk meta info which would otherwise be hardcoded. I wasn't quite sure about the user directory part but it doesn't seem like a good idea to put that part into the script and therefore I commented it out. It would probably interfere with rc.local scripts that take care of skel copying. I replaced the part after the TODO with a safe guard to make sure that people who are not aware of the changes will not be caught by surprise. Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>

2009-11-17Rename ramdisk_size parameter to tmpfs_size to avoid conflictGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Rename ramdisk_size parameter to tmpfs_size to avoid conflict with the kernel parameter that is for old ramdisk based blockdevs (/dev/ramN) and confusion to users. The kernel parameter ramdisk_size=N is in "N * k size", while tmpfs size=N is in "N * [ k | m | g ] byte size" or "in N% of RAM", like is used by default on archiso. This parameter is used only for tmpfs in size option. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2009-10-21Fix how mkarchiso makes usb imageGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
The current implementation in how partition is created for ext2 img it looks a bit bad. This patch makes the partition in more standarized way, respecting cylinder alignement: * The size of resulting image will be in cylinder multiple ~8MB. * Use fdisk instead of sfdisk (sfdisk write some bad information) * Make the result image in one pass, instead of concatenating. Also the advantage is that with this can add another partitions without any issues in the usb-flash-drive with this .img.

2009-08-25Added vfat support to mount /dev/archisoGerhard Brauer
fstype from klibc don't detect a vfat formatted blockdevice when try to mount /dev/archiso to /bootmnt. Some users don't use the recommened method with dd to bring the image to their USB stick. If they for ex. use Unetbootin to put the iso image on their (v)fat formatted stick they got lost with a kernel panic cause fstype won't detect vfat, so the mount and the later squashfs bindings traps.
