Just to clarify, when using a multiple schema is when the problem really shows up, but even with a "all-in-one" schema, fstab is empty. There aren't any aparent problems on boot because initramfs-tools (or initscripts) mounts the root filesystem. But still the fstab is empty and it will not find swap, for example. > > partition schema in partman, the presence of an empty fstab in the > > squashed filesystem breaks the fstab that is created by partman. > > as i said on irc some month ago when you first reported this, this is > not a bug in live-build, we do not want an fstab on purpose. > > d-i (or partman) do need to handle that properly, ideally by using > fstab.d as of wheezy anyway. That would be good. Maybe live-build should also use fstab.d instead of overwriting what partman wrote with an empty one by default. It breaks any partitioning preseed and any encryption chosen in partman. If a live-build user wants an empty (or not) fstab he/she can add it in the includes.chroot, even using fstab.d, but live-build "forcing" an empty fstab if the user don't include one is a problem. > > -- > Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern > Email: [email protected] > Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
