Hi I have done some tests with doing a customized partitiontable in lh_binary_usb-hdd, but I got trouble when aufs starts if I have an image over 2000MB.
The usb-hdd image boots nice, but when reaching Begin: Mounting root file system... ... aufs 20070924 loop: module loaded squashfs: version 3.2-r2 (2007/01/15) Phillip Lougher attempt to access beyond end of device hda1: rw=0, want=198357, limit=197265 attempt to access beyond end of device hda1: rw=0, want=198357, limit=197265 SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failing reading block 0x1545d SQUASHFS error: unable to read uid/gid table This for an 4000MB image. First I have an usb-hdd image that I know boots all good. That one is 101M and and have exactly a 196607 sectors FAT16 partition size (the working image is built from the lh_binary_usb-hdd parted script that says: parted mkpartfs primary fat16 0.0 100% Then with the same config I do a lh_binary and build my custom stick/image But for this custom image I use parted myself and the same size 101M . For this its: parted mkpartfs primary fat16 0 101 (the rest of the parted stuff is the same) Except for the size of the image. If the image is up to 2000MB it is working but above I get this error. For example with an 2000MB image the fat16 partition get the size 197265 sectors and it works, but with 3000MB and 4000MB I have the same sector size its still 197265 sectors. But now the above mentioned error starts and the "access beyond end of device" offsets is getting larger if the image is larger. For 4000MB its 198357 sectors 1092 sectors diff (the case shown above) For 3000MB its 198233 sectors. 968 sectors diff Huh ? I think that an fat16 partition maximum is 2000MB but in this case its just the image that is bigger not the fat16 partition at all. Is there some hardcoding with aufs that I have missed ? Anyone having a clue. regards //Peter -- bitrunner 0708-460260 Andra Långgatan 28 41327 Göteborg Sweden _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
