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. For example of current situation: qemu-system-x86_64 -hda archlinux-avr.toolchain.img -serial stdio --------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@avr ~]# fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 223 MB, 223974400 bytes 59 heads, 41 sectors/track, 180 cylinders Units = cylinders of 2419 * 512 = 1238528 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 181 218693+ 83 Linux Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?): phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 1, 23) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(27, 58, 41) logical=(180, 49, 21) Command (m for help): v Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?): phys=(0, 1, 1) logical=(0, 1, 23) Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(27, 58, 41) logical=(180, 49, 21) Partition 1: previous sectors 437449 disagrees with total 67731 62 unallocated 512-byte sectors Command (m for help): --------------------------------------------------------------------- qemu-system-x86_64 -hda archlinux-avr.toolchain-fix.img -serial stdio --------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@avr ~]# fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 230 MB, 230307840 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 28 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x5c94ca4f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 28 224878+ 83 Linux Command (m for help): v 62 unallocated 512-byte sectors --------------------------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
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.

2009-08-10Fix mount loop test for bindingsAaron Griffin
test -f will fail if we wanted to bind to a directory, so use test -r instead. See FS#15356 Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
2009-08-10Ensure bootmnt is bound properly into device rootAaron Griffin
Missing slash caused bootmnt to be bound to /real_rootbootmnt instead of /real_root/bootmnt See FS#15356 Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
2009-07-27Use a label when generating the image and pass it to the commandlineGerhard Brauer
This will generate a label ARCHISO_$randomstring using the pwgen utility and add this label to the kernel command line. A new label will be generated for each image, so it can be uniquely identified.

2009-07-27Use the archisolabel= command line option to mount the archiso device.Gerhard Brauer
If the archisolabel= option is specified on the kernel commandline, a device /dev/archiso will be created and will be used to boot the live system. Patch from brain0 <thomas@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Gerhard Brauer <gerbra@archlinux.de> Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>

2009-01-29Increment usbdelay by 1 before sleepingAaron Griffin
This should give us *just a bit* more delay before actually trying to do things with the usb devices. Annoying, but will probably be effective Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>

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>

Whoops, *.img expands if we're building USB images. Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
2009-01-24Add a manual sleep and rootdelayAaron Griffin
It seems udev trigger/settle doesn't do what we expect, so we'll add functionality for the rootdelay param back in here. This should help fix FS#12896 Original-idea: Gerhard Brauer <gerbra@archlinux.de> Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>

Conversion issue when dropping mkusbimg. Use work_dir/iso to get the proper image size Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
2008-12-23Fix the way squashfs mountpoints are handledAaron Griffin
This is a hacky way to mount squashfs images at directories other than the root. We mount the image to a loop device and then bind it to another directory. This technically supersedes the 'bind' image type, so that should be removed... Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
