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).

2011-04-26[syslinux-iso] Change initramfs compression lzma -> xzGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
Needs mkinitcpio >= 0.6.9-1 (otherwise does not work with passed options to xz). 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>
2010-06-23Add support for booting from memdiskThomas Bächler
This requires mkinitcpio 0.6.7 or later, as well as syslinux 4.00pre56 or later. See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK
2010-03-18[archiso] Use a mount handler in archiso_pxe_nbd hookGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
* Register a mount_hook if booted via PXE. This allows to do all needed steps before and after calling archiso_mount_handler. * umount and disconnect network device if copytoram=y Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

2010-03-17[syslinux-iso] Add PXE support via 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 added dnsmasq pkg, so the live-medium, appart of support booting from PXE also add the capability to acts as server for PXE & NBD. This is a dirty script to ilustrate how to launch server: ---- Cut here ---- IP=$1 ISO=$2 ifconfig eth0 ${IP} dnsmasq \ --enable-tftp \ --tftp-root=/bootmnt/boot \ --dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,"${IP}" \ --dhcp-range=${IP%.*}.2,${IP%.*}.254,86400 nbd-server 9040 ${ISO} -r ---- Cut here ---- Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
2010-03-16Remove archiso_early hook, use /dev/disk/by-label/${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>
2010-02-18Rename archiso-early hook to archiso_earlyGerardo Exequiel Pozzi
