Hmm. It could be that back then only the automatic unmounting was fixed. I'll test this. > Perhaps I have missed something, but Frans' changes seem quite > incomplete to me. You're partially correct. > base-installer bind-mounts /target/cdrom, and No, we no longer bind mount /target/cdrom. We used to bind mount it permanently, but that was changed with the reintroduction of multi-cd support. Instead we always leave it up to apt-cdrom to mount/umount the CD as (and only as long as) needed. > configures apt-cdrom to use it; Yes, I missed this. But we could change that to use /target/media/cdrom instead, which would be more in line with what's wanted anyway. I'll test that too. > surely that needs to be adjusted if you > want to do the detection dynamically there as well, and removing the > umounts from most other places while keeping the mount in base-installer > looks like a mistake. AFAICT removing the umounts is still correct as we never mount it. But base-installer definitely needs updating before dropping the symlink in partman-target. And if Lenny's apt-cdrom does require it, we should keep it around until Squeeze+1. Thanks, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
