huh but why? |
|
the same reason @sraue added parted and mkfs.ext4 as an option: we use a project specific initramfs.conf file which listens for a kernel command line parameter and can automatically copy KERNEL & SYSTEM to ram, repartition the harddisk to two partitions, format the two partitions, copies KERNEL & SYSTEM back to part1 and install syslinux bootloader to the harddisk ;-) |
|
huh. I dont really understand the reasoning. this (and repartitioning) should be done via some systemd service like our fs-resize.service. init should be as minimal as possible. @sraue ?
but well. ok... |
|
additional features (filesystems, loaders) are welcome if someone else uses this feature ;-) |
|
@phoefler - I'm doing cleanup/review of old PR's and last update on this was ~13 months ago. Is this still required? |
|
@chewitt Yes, we would still appreciate this change in master |
|
@sraue - please review and comment |
This PR also builds syslinux into initramfs if INITRAMFS_PARTED_SUPPORT variable is set to yes (in project options file)
