[Touch-packages] [Bug 1317437] Re: wubi kernel option "rw" required
The change, by itself, looks fine. However, I'd like to urge users to migrate away from wubi, as it is no longer supported (and 14.04 is about to be EOL too). This doesn't mean we can't make the change, just that there should be more testing done to see how it affects other boot methods, and exactly in which cases it is useful (since it needs proper test cases anyway). For this reason, please follow the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure to make sure this bug is all ready for the request to update stable releases. This mostly means updating the description with proper test cases and justification for the SRU. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1317437 Title: wubi kernel option "rw" required Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: We have installed ubuntu beta-64amd.iso (trusty tahr) as wubi on a windows 8.1.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1317437] Re: wubi kernel option "rw" required
I believe that this comment: https://code.launchpad.net/~noorez-kassam/ubuntu/utopic/initramfs-tools /fix-for-1317437/+merge/219927/comments/592175 This is the way I understand this is and my testing is shown below: Mounting and creating the loop device in the same step with the readonly option, makes it impossible to remount the loop device later as read- write. By creating the loop device separately (which defaults to read-write capable unless the -r option is supplied), the loop device can then be mounted readonly, and later remounted as read-write. This change is needed since release 14.04, which - for unknown reasons - now won't let the loop device be remounted read-write (perhaps it's passing the -r option to losetup internally and it's losetup which has started enforcing this?). The end result is that Wubi installs cannot boot, because the remount read-write fails. My tests confirm this: Setup: 1. Create a file, format as ext4. bcbc@neptune:~$ dd if=/dev/zero of=new.disk bs=1MB count=100 bcbc@neptune:~$ mkfs.ext4 -F new.disk 2.
