      cleaner boot from loopmounted iso file · 76f8b588
      Adam Purkrt authored 
      Currently, when booting loopmounted iso file, it is necessary to
specify not only img_dev and img_loop (which should be sufficient),
but also archisolabel or archisodevice. With this patch, archisodevice
is directly populated with the correct loop device, and it is not
necessary to specify the label when booting from loopmounted iso,
which makes for leaner and cleaner grub.cfg.

      flush ip addresses after copy to RAM · 436db89f
      Christian Hesse authored 
      

We received an IP address from DHCP server and configure it statically.
This is required if we continue to use network connectivity to access
the root device (for example via NBD or NFS).

The lease is not updated, though. This can cause trouble in networks
with low lease times. So let's flush the addresses if root filesystem
has been copied to RAM. A dhcp client in main system can handle the
network connectivity then.

      [archiso] Rename cowfile_size to cow_spacesize= · 9dd91bcb
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      

The name is more relevant since the usage is shared for both
dm-snapshot and overlayfs.

      [archiso] Add optional OverlayFS support · b79eaf30
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      

This is the first attemp to test overlayfs in archiso.
The current dm-snapshot mode is keep and is enabled by default,
while the new mode is enabled via "-s sfs" to mkarchiso.
No new boot parameters are added, since archiso hooks detects
if the .sfs file is for dm-snapshot (airootfs.img inside)
or for overlayfs.
Persistence is supported in overlayfs mode using the same options
(cowlabel or cowdevice), but warning while in dm-snapshot mode,
only one file is used (airootfs.cow), in overlayfs mode internal
files for workdir/ and upperdir/ are allocated, so you can not use
VFAT or NTFS.

To test this, you need to enable [testing] in pacman.conf from
releng profile and edit build.sh then add "-s sfs" in make_prepare()

Look at:
    setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -D "${install_dir}" prepare
Replace with:
    setarch ${arch} mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -s sfs -D "${install_dir}" prepare

The build requires just half of space that the build for dm-snapshot,
since there is no ext4 img ;)

Just to remember: there is no space gain in .sfs (just about 2M)

There is at least one thing during boot with machine-id service:
Dec 24 03:31:39 archiso systemd-machine-id-commit[183]: Failed to unmount transient /etc/machine-id file in our private namespace: Invalid argument
