I was wrong, on 9.04, *-sn.cpio.gz are broken. At startup time casper:try_snap() does "cpio -i -u -d" which fails as for initrd/bin/cpio only -i is allowed.
Workaround: -------------------------------- !/bin/sh # This file: /custom-installation/hooks/casper-premount.sh # Usage: have this file by that name on any partition and use bootparam # debian-installer/custom-installation=/custom-installation # Bug workaround # casper:try_snap() does cpio -i -u -d # but in initrd only -i is allowed mv /bin/cpio /bin/cpio.DIST cat > /bin/cpio <<EOF #!/bin/sh /bin/cpio.DIST -i EOF chmod +x /bin/cpio -------------------------------- -- [Hardy] Snapshots in casper/ are ignored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202050 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
