It is also used on -exit by the live-initramfs init script to resync the boot-found snapshots -devices. - -Options -------- - - -c, --cow **DIRECTORY**:: - -specifies the input directory to be cloned in the image file. Its default value -"/live/cow" should be right for most uses. However it could be handy to specify -"/home" and type ext2 for the type to prepare an image file suited to be -directly mounted by live-initramfs as home. - - -d, --device **DEVICE**:: - -sets the device where the media which the snapshot/persistence file/partition -will be put. If it is not specified, a tmpfs will be used and linked to the -user's desktop to move it where it is needed. If the device has no filesystem, -an ext2 fs will be automatically created and labelled according to the values -specified after the "--output" value or with a sane default. - - -e, --exclude-list **FILE**:: - -a file containing a list of filenames/paths that should not be saved. This exclude list will be remebered on the target snapshot media for reuse. - - -o, --output **FILE**:: - -the filename/label used for the output file/partition. If left blank, live-snapshot will search for a proper file on the device or use the whole partition. - - -r, --resync-string **STRING**:: - -internally used on resyncs. - - -f, --refresh:: - -try to do the same operation that should be done at reboot or halt, resyncing -boot-time auto discovered snapshots. Useful to prevent a crash or surge -power-off. - - -t, --type **TYPE**:: - -Type could be one of "cpio", "squashfs", "ext2", "ext3", "ext4", or "jffs2". - - -h, --help:: - -display help and exit - - -u, --usage:: - -show usage and exit - - -v, --version:: - -output version information and exit - -Files ------ - - /etc/live-snapshot.list - -This optional file, if present changes the behaviour of live-snapshot, only files and directories listed there are included (integrally) in the snapshot. It works only for cpio and whole partition targets. - - /etc/live-snapshot.exclude_list - -This optional file, if present will filter the files that will be saved by live-snapshot removing (as in "grep -F -v") all filenames that will be matched by strings listed in it. -It works for cpio, whole partition and squashfs snapshot types only; it is pretty useful for filtering temporary files and disk caches. - - -See also --------- - -live-initramfs(8) - -This program is a part of live-initramfs. - -Bugs ----- - -Report bugs against live-initramfs -link:http://packages.qa.debian.org/live-initramfs[http://packages.qa.debian.org/live-initramfs]. - -Homepage --------- - -More information about the Debian Live project can be found at -link:http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/[http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/] and -link:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/[http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive/]. - -Authors -------- - -live-initramfs is maintained by Daniel Baumann <daniel@debian.org> for the -Debian project. live-initramfs is a fork of -link:http://packages.ubuntu.com/casper/[casper]. casper was originally written -by Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@canonical.com> and Matt Zimmerman <mdz@canonical.com>. |
