Package: live-boot
Severity: important
Dear everybody,
I described the situation already on the live-boot mailing list in
this thread:
<URL:https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2012/07/msg00052.html>
Bisecting [1] the code showed that the bad commit is f92f379a6e868bc [2]
The relevant part seems to be:
- mkdir -p /overlay
+ # tmpfs file systems
+ touch /etc/fstab
+ mkdir -p /live
+ mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /live
+ mkdir -p /live/overlay
I am not familiar with the code, but the tmpfs seems to hide the cd-image
which is mounted at /live/image. Trying to mount aufs fails, there is
no /live/image accessible anymore. To test this hypothesis, I added
two lines after the tmpfs setup:
root@wheezy:~/live-boot# git diff
diff --git a/scripts/live b/scripts/live
index af8c12e..9eb37b2 100755
--- a/scripts/live
+++ b/scripts/live
@@ -957,6 +958,8 @@ setup_unionfs ()
mkdir -p /live
mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /live
mkdir -p /live/overlay
+ mkdir -p /live/image
+ mount /dev/sr0 /live/image
# Looking for persistence devices or files
if [ -n "${PERSISTENCE}" ] && [ -z "${NOPERSISTENCE}" ]
With this modification, live-boot works again as expected and the
problem with aufs vanishes.
I hope this observations help solving the issue in time for wheezy.
Best regards,
Andi
