seems confusing for users..

woow that went unnoticed for some years now.
people seem really to use update-initramfs(8).
|
|
try to add one or the other.
|
|
initrd-tools was last shipped in etch and was sarge default.
we no longer need to care about it.
only came to light while grepping for ide-disk.
|
|
mkinitramfs-kpkg outputs the following warning:
Depreciation WARNING: use update-initramfs(8)
"Depreciation" should be "Deprecation".

while at it cleanup the variable name that came due to legacy
naming nfsopts in a very early initramfs-tools release.
"The local-top/iscsi initramfs integration script uses the
configure_networking function, which depends on the IPOPTS environmental
variable set by the init script. However, this variable is not
available, because it's not exported from init, and local-top/iscsi is
not sourced but executed. Thus static IP configuration on the kernel
command line is not communicated to the script."

release string from "Fischia il vento" :)

Ferenc seems to be using the xvda1=img1,xvda2=img2 scheme of Xen disks
(this is what xentools gets you) rather than the whole disk with
partition scheme.
In the xvda1/xvda2 scheme /sys/block contains:
# ls /sys/block/
ram0 ram1 ram10 ram11 ram12 ram13 ram14 ram15 ram2 ram3
ram4 ram5 ram6 ram7 ram8 ram9 xvda1 xvda2
In the whole disk scheme it contains xvda as you would expect:
# ls /sys/block/
loop0 loop1 loop2 loop3 loop4 loop5 loop6 loop7 ram0
ram1 ram10 ram11 ram12 ram13 ram14 ram15 ram2 ram3 ram4
ram5 ram6 ram7 ram8 ram9 xvda
I've attached a patch which takes care of this difference.

do the same dance here, same code, just slightly renamed variables.

As there is no /dev/disk/by-label//, we need to follow udev
on escape the '/' character with \x2f
don't rely on sed, as we might not have it in initramfs.

The attached patch is needed for booting with root=mtd0.
Basically, the init scripts assume the root device should have a special
device file somewhere, and if not will wait for it to appear. This patch
changes it so that it only waits for a device file to appear if $ROOT starts
with "/dev". In the case of things like ROOT=LABEL=foo, the init scripts
will translate that to a device. With ROOT=mtd0, the init scripts will not
check for a device, and will successfully mount the root filesystem.

Since "exit 2" has a special meaning, we must "exit 1" when the
find/cpio/gzip pipe fails, otherwise "update-initramfs" will potentially
ignore failures (it ignores return code "2" from mkinitramfs).

trivial fix on top of previous change.
afais cpio doesn't really give sensible return errors,
so this fall through the cracks.
|
|
The final stage of mkinitramfs that builds the image does not verify the
exit codes of find or cpio:
(cd "${DESTDIR}" && find . | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip
>"${outfile}") || exit 1
Once bug 514936 is solved, this will be even more important, since cpio
will actually return errors.
Attached is a gross alternative to depending on bash...
Current behavior:
$ find /fail | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip > /tmp/archive.gz
find: `/fail': No such file or directory
$ echo $?
0
Desired behavior:
$ set -o pipefail
$ find /fail | cpio --quiet --dereference -o -H newc | gzip > /tmp/archive.gz
find: `/fail': No such file or directory
$ echo $?
1

not needed anymore..
|
|
no need to support callers that were unofficial and never released
as such in Lenny.
|
|
no need to deprecate it in initramfs-tools.
Lenny ships due to userspace with it and Juju firewire not yet
feature complete..
|
|
update-initramfs is the desired caller.
|
|
since Lenny lvm2 ships it's own hooks scripts, no need to dup.

clears debhelper-but-no-misc-depends lintian warning.
don't know if we really need it, but better be safe and

in 0.92m, the timeout for ipconfig in scripts/functions was set to 60
seconds. This broke our iscsi-rootfs setups.
It took me a while to debug this, but it seems that 60 seconds is not
enough for switches which have spanning-tree enabled, they need some
more time before they take up a port, in our case between 62 and 65
seconds.

i've set up an encrypted loop-AES device as the root partition (boot
paramter dev=/dev/loopX) and update-initramfs fails with :

NFSOPTS is no longer sourced in initramfs.conf,
so it should only be documented at the place of use aka boot cmdline.
