Hi everybody,
I just checked a frugal install of rolling, installed firefox and then used
tazusb writefs
The result was a new rootfs.gz which I tested. No problem at boot, but it was not possible to login in either as root neither as tux. Simply the content of /etc/skel was missing in root; there was no folder /home/tux. Tux as a user was established, but no useable configuration for login. In addition, very bad: the keyboard configuration was not kept so I hardly could use the keyboard. No fun without X running!
(It is not urgent for me! I just wanted to inform the guys who work on it)

offlineMemberI forget to tell that the same job had been done with Slitaz 4.0. A frugal install on my /dev/hdb2 (ext3 filesystem), where folder /tux is been established. I had installed some new packages and then used
tazusb writefs none
, which resulted in a modified rootfs.gz of 165,5 MB. It boots fine.
In /etc/fstab I have a line
/dev/hdb2 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
Of course I could not login when I first booted from it. First I had to change the ownership for /home/tux from root:root to tux: users. Now it works fine.
Conclusion: with 5.0 there mus still be something wrong in /usr/bin/tazusb. But I am not the guy to correct it, my understanding is not enough to be capable of such a thing. ;-)Posted 10 years ago # -

offlineKey Mastertry last rolling - I did yesterday some isos with tazlito - works without a problem. I think, that tazusb should work also without any problem - if not try tazlito

Frugal install:
/home is mounted by /etc/init.d/bootopts.sh to the partition listed on the kernel command line with home=sd{a-z} or home=hd{a-z} depending on how udev designates the drives partitions or home=uuid=<uuid of partition>
After /home is mounted user tux is created with the correct permissions
http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-boot-scripts/file/fba11a13a321/etc/init.d/bootopts.sh
Line 83
If you override this by using /etc/fstab to mount the system partition then it breaks the system.Posted 10 years ago #
