2015-01-27[archiso] Rename cowfile_size to cow_spacesize=Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
The name is more relevant since the usage is shared for both dm-snapshot and overlayfs. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@gmail.com>
2015-01-27[archiso] Add optional OverlayFS supportGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
This is the first attemp to test overlayfs in archiso. The current dm-snapshot mode is keep and is enabled by default, while the new mode is enabled via "-s sfs" to mkarchiso. No new boot parameters are added, since archiso hooks detects if the .sfs file is for dm-snapshot (airootfs.img inside) or for overlayfs. Persistence is supported in overlayfs mode using the same options (cowlabel or cowdevice), but warning while in dm-snapshot mode, only one file is used (airootfs.cow), in overlayfs mode internal files for workdir/ and upperdir/ are allocated, so you can not use VFAT or NTFS. To test this, you need to enable [testing] in pacman.conf from releng profile and edit build.sh then add "-s sfs" in make_prepare() Look at: setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -D "${install_dir}" prepare Replace with: setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -s sfs -D "${install_dir}" prepare The build requires just half of space that the build for dm-snapshot, since there is no ext4 img ;) Just to remember: there is no space gain in .sfs (just about 2M) There is at least one thing during boot with machine-id service: Dec 24 03:31:39 archiso systemd-machine-id-commit[183]: Failed to unmount transient /etc/machine-id file in our private namespace: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@gmail.com>
2015-01-02allow to change dm snapshot chunksizeChristian Hesse
Copying big amount of data results in bad performance as data is written in chunks of 4kiB (8 * 512 bytes). The default is not changed but can be overwritten. Signed-off-by: Christian Hesse <mail@eworm.de>

2014-12-13[archiso] Merge cowspace_size= option in cowfile_size=Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Since now cowspace_size == cowfile_size (only one file inside) Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@gmail.com>
2014-10-13[archiso] Change cowfile_size= behaviorGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Move from percent to explicit size and set a default of 256M (sparse) Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@gmail.com>
2014-08-12archiso_pxe_http: Fix location of airootfs.md5Lukas Fleischer
Currently, when booting via HTTP, the airootfs.md5 file is downloaded to /run/archiso/bootmnt/arch/. However, the checksum file is later assumed to be located at "/run/archiso/bootmnt/arch/${arch}". Fix the _curl_get invocation and directly place the file in the right directory. Fixes a regression introduced in commit b3e1d31 ([archiso] Rework checksum function, 2014-06-28).

2014-08-08Reintroduce the possibility to force an architectureLukas Fleischer
Among other things, 36459f3 ([archiso] Drop aitab support, 2014-06-28) removed the possibility to manually set a specific architecture by using kernel parameters. This, however, is useful, e.g. when installing Arch Linux on a device that reports itself as i586 but works fine with the i686 flavor. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de>

2014-06-28[archiso] rename airootfs.fs.sfs to airootfs.sfsGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Make it ISO9660 friendly (extra dot "." is replaced by "_") * Was used when support both .fs.sfs and .sfs
2014-06-28[archiso] Drop aitab supportGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Always create one filesystem of a fixed size (32G), format (ext4) and know name "airootfs". Simplify logic a lot.

2012-10-16[archiso] Allow set copytoram=n for NBD/NFSGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
On low memory systems installing via PXE is not possible. Do not force copytoram=y for NFS/NDB. Broken/hang things: * On shutdown. * On run-time if some network settings changed. Implements FS#32006. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2012-10-13[archiso] Introduce cowfile_size= bootparamGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
If not set, nothing is changed in current behaviour. Since dm-snapshot allows to use as "COW" a file with any size, without caring about the the size of "origin", we can avoid creating a "COW" file of the same size as the "origin". This is really useful, when using as cow_device= a filesystem that is VFAT where sparse files are not supported, so if root-image.fs is 1000M, passing cowfile_size=25% will create a root-image.cow of 250M instead of 1000M.

This reverts commit 6f68bec907f5fbfdd1e73be8812ea0ff925965aa. Using ash was actually correct as only this shell is available in initramfs. It was the commit message of 27940c420f01f550f36c3aa25633b43a4f2a2069 that was wrong
