| ===== liveusb-creator update needed for 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.
