=====Important update needed for liveusb-creator in f15 final release=====
*https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706122 source
Here's the details of what I did to test your update:
1. I downloaded your updated RPM:
http://harald.fedorapeople.org/downloads/dracut/dracut-009-11.fc15/dracut-009-11.fc15.noarch.rpm
2. I placed your updated RPM into the yum repository directory
(yum/repo/noarch) that is created when building the Network Security Toolkit
ISO image (a distribution based on Fedora).
3. I built the "minimal" NST ISO image using the command: (cd livecd; make
iso-minimal). This takes about 30 minutes in my environment.
4. I verified in the log file that the new dracut package was picked up and
installed in the new ISO image. On a side note, I've been noticing the
following message when dracut is added during livecd-creator builds (it
suggests to me that someone else is producing a dracut.conf file - not that
there is necessarily anything wrong with that, just something I noticed):
Installing: plymouth-scripts ##################### [499/827]
warning: /etc/dracut.conf created as /etc/dracut.conf.rpmnew
Installing: dracut ##################### [500/827]
5. I used the LiveUSB Creator tool to install the ISO image to a USB memory
stick and enabled a 256MB persistent overlay.
6. I booted a machine using the USB memory stick (did not see error message
about missing /overlayfs anymore).
7. I modified the /etc/hosts file (just added a line)
8. I rebooted the system (did not see error message about missing /overlayfs
anymore)
9. When I looked at the /etc/hosts file, my modifications were still there(persisted in the overlay file).
So, things seem to be working again related to the live USB overlay filesystem
as far as I am concerned and this ticket can be closed as far as I amconcerned.
