2011-10-23[archiso] Add archiso_shutdown hook.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
STATUS: Working (std boot, loop_mnt, pxe) with copytoram=[y|n]. NEEDS: initscript > 2011.07.3, mkinitcpio > 0.7.2, mkinitcpio-busybox > 1.18.5-1 Purpose: we need this for propertly unmount $cow_device, used for persistent dm-snapshot devices. This hook is based on work from Tom Gundersen[#1], but adapted for archiso things (specially the shutdown script) [#1] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2011-July/001549.html [#2] http://projects.archlinux.org/initscripts.git/commit/?id=1fa7b4b453e96533ae1db3630031285e5fc302b3 [#3] http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-projects/2011-August/001749.html Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-10-23[archiso] Add support for img_label= and allow img_dev same as cow_devGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Support img_label= * Allow use img_dev= as cow_device= * Use new function _mnt_dev() from archiso. * Check for error while setting loopback device. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-10-23[archiso] Mount all fs on /run/archiso instead of /Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
This allow to take control again of these mountpoints outside initramfs. (i.e: on deinitramfs stage at shutdown for unmount it) Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-10-23[archiso] Allow persistent cow dm-snapshots.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Add some options to control where all COW files will be located. Until this moment all files are located in a tmpfs filesystem. Now is posible to set a device via a filesystem label or device node plus a directory, where all these files will be stored. All dm-snapshot devices will be persistent by default, but this can be changed if wanted. Take care, a filesystem that does not support sparse files maybe is not the best choice for COW files, because they are created with the same size (is apparent) like the read-only device (the image.fs inside .sfs). Of course sooner or later, depending on use, these files actually end up being as big as the read-only device. KNOW-ISSUE: On shutdown in step "Unmounting Filesystems" will [FAIL], all filesystem except $cow_device, will be unmounted/remounted-ro. For this reason this change needs an archiso_shutdown hook, thats unmount all block devices used by archiso. (Work in progress) Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-08-29[archiso] Switch from cdrkit to libisoburnGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Preparing terrain for UEFI support. * Also make isohybrid hack in one step. * Removed UDF layer, since xorriso does not support it. * Removed unsupported options by xorriso (-uid/-gid/-allow-limited-size) * Removed option already default in xorriso (-input-charset utf-8) Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2011-08-15[configs/releng] Add purge_* commandsGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
purge_single command can be usefull to save space during build. It removes all files in working directory except "iso/" and *.iso. Workflow can be: (32) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> i686 *.iso are ready. (32) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup. (64) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> x86_64 *.iso are ready. (64) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup. (any) ./build.sh all_iso_dual -> dual *.iso are ready. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2011-08-09[archiso] Add dm_snap_prefix= boot param.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Default value is "arch". This implies that all device mapper node for snapshot devices will be for example: arch_root-image. This helps AIF to hidden these devices from "Device Configuration". Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

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).
