      cleaner boot from loopmounted iso file · d35d87f2
      Adam Purkrt authored and Gerardo Pozzi's avatar Gerardo Pozzi committed
      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.

      [archiso] Rename cowfile_size to cow_spacesize= · 9322a0d3
      Gerardo Pozzi authored
      
      The name is more relevant since the usage is shared for both
      dm-snapshot and overlayfs.

      [archiso] Add optional OverlayFS support · a637bdb8
      Gerardo 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
