* [archiso] Allow persistent cow dm-snapshots.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi2011-10-231-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add some options to control where all COW files will be located. Until this moment all files are located in a tmpfs filesystem. Now is posible to set a device via a filesystem label or device node plus a directory, where all these files will be stored. All dm-snapshot devices will be persistent by default, but this can be changed if wanted. Take care, a filesystem that does not support sparse files maybe is not the best choice for COW files, because they are created with the same size (is apparent) like the read-only device (the image.fs inside .sfs). Of course sooner or later, depending on use, these files actually end up being as big as the read-only device. KNOW-ISSUE: On shutdown in step "Unmounting Filesystems" will [FAIL], all filesystem except $cow_device, will be unmounted/remounted-ro. For this reason this change needs an archiso_shutdown hook, thats unmount all block devices used by archiso. (Work in progress) Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>

* [configs/releng] Add purge_* commandsGerardo Exequiel Pozzi2011-08-151-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | purge_single command can be usefull to save space during build. It removes all files in working directory except "iso/" and *.iso. Workflow can be: (32) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> i686 *.iso are ready. (32) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup. (64) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> x86_64 *.iso are ready. (64) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup. (any) ./build.sh all_iso_dual -> dual *.iso are ready. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
* [archiso] Add dm_snap_prefix= boot param.Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi2011-08-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | Default value is "arch". This implies that all device mapper node for snapshot devices will be for example: arch_root-image. This helps AIF to hidden these devices from "Device Configuration". Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@yahoo.com.ar>
