Part 8 of 8
At halt/reboot time there is no automatic snapshot, b/c the symlink is
S89casper
FIX: rename it K89casper in /etc/rc{0,6}.d
Workaround (merge with workaround bug#1)
-------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# This file: /custom-installation/hooks/casper-bottom.sh
# Usage: have this file by that name and chmod +x on any partition and use
bootparam
# debian-installer/custom-installation=/custom-installation
# Bug workaround
# casper: updates made by try_snap() to /etc/casper.conf are lost
cp /etc/casper.conf /root/etc/casper.conf
# Bug workaround
# Bad symlinks /etc/rc{0,6].d/S89casper
rm /root/etc/rc0.d/S*casper
rm /root/etc/rc6.d/S*casper
ln -s ../init.d/casper /root/etc/rc0.d/K89casper
ln -s ../init.d/casper /root/etc/rc6.d/K89casper
-------------------------------
At last, with these 8 bugs workarounded casper-snapshots resync work well !
It is an important wish that filesystem where snapshots are to be located not
be limited to (vfat/ext2). I known the point of mounting a journaled FS used by
an hibernated OS, but are developpers supposed to imagine every misuse of their
work ? The livetime of flash drive is a more important issue IMO, and xfs is
better suited than ext2/vfat.
(Also don't forget to workaround https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202050
which impedes -sn.cpio.gz from being used at startup time)
