When running fai-make-nfsroot on amd64 or i386 architecture using e.g.
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=wget --arch armhf"
it does not use qemu-user-static option.
When running fai-make-nfsroot on amd64 or i386 architecture using e.g.
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=wget --arch=armhf"
it does use qemu-user-static option.
While both of above syntax are correct the following line within
fai-make-nfsroot only applies to "--arch=armhf":
263: targetarch=$(expr "$FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS" :
'.*--arch=\([^[:space:]]*\)' || true)
My suggestion is to replace this line with the following which handles
both types of given --arch parameter:
targetarch=$(echo "$(expr "$FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS" :
'.*--arch=\([^[:space:]]*\)' || expr "$FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS" :
'.*--arch\s\([^[:space:]]*\)' || echo true)" | tail -n 1)
If "$targetarch" was set correctly fai-make-nfsroot fails with
following error if executed using e.g.
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS="--exclude=wget --arch=armhf":

This is because armhf may be using vlinu?-* & initrd.img-* files for
booting, but not mandatory.
I have worked around this by not copy vlinu?-* & initrd.img-* if
FAI_DEBOOTSTRAP_OPTS is defined for armhf.
(Maybe there is a more general solution for this)
