Package: live-boot
Version: 3.0~a14-1+git
Severity: normal
I was testing my changes to l-b and found that unionfs-fuse is broken to
start with.
The live script tries to raise the number of available file descriptors
for unionfs-fuse which is a bashism as reported by the package build
scripts and does not work but the live script continues anyway.
with break=bottom or break=init I see fully functional system in /root
However, initscripts complain about readonly filesystem and fail.

given that in the last couple of years the situation with having aufs
modules for the current kernels has de-escalated (due to inclusion of
aufs in the main linux kernel packages within debian, rather than
oot-modules), the main reason to support unionfs-fuse within live-boot
is no longer necessary (to have a proper 'fallback' in place when aufs
support for the kernel is not yet available).
also given that unionfs-fuse offers no other advantage over aufs, but in
fact has several disadvantages (most prominently, it's dead slow), i do
not see any reason to work on having unionfs-fuse support in live-boot
myself. however, as it's always desirable to support as many use cases
as possible, if you provide patches to make it work, we'll happily apply
them.
in the meanwhile, i'm closing this bug, feel free to reopen with patches
at any time.
