-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I have two questions wrt to live-snapshot (well, two-and-a-half :) All is with a fairly recent live toolset on Lenny: ii live-helper 1.0.1-1 Debian Live build scripts ii live-initramfs 1.139.1-3 Debian Live initramfs hook (1) I'm trying to use a cpio.gz snapshot. To this end, I created one, put it on a block device (actually a partition on an USB stick). This file is called live-sn.cpio.gz. I also put a second one there, home-sn.cpio.gz (but see my second question). On boot of the live system all is fine. Problem arises when trying to refresh the snapshot: in /etc/live.conf I see something like: /root:/dev/sdb1:live-sn.cpio.gz /root/home:/dev/sdb1:home-sn.cpio.gz The first field of the colon-separated entries should be the name of the COW directory, which in my system is /live/cow (and not root). If I change the entry in /etc/live.conf to read /live/cow:/dev/sdb1:live-sn.cpio.gz all works as expected (i.e. "sudo live-snapshot --refresh" writes out the cpio archive with all the changes). Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a buglet somewhere? (2) Do I have to do anything special to have separate "live" and "home" snapshots? As far as I can see, there is only one COW directory mounted over / -- so any changes (included those in /home) would land in live-sn. But I must be missing something, right? (3) Now to the half-question: I would like to take another kind of snapshots: rsync snapshots over the net. Would there be interest in it? Would it make sense to provide some hook magic, to not have all the snapshot machinery built in? Ideas?
