Attempt to add httpfs and iscsifs support to debian official release
Current Status
- Added
dnsip
parameter so that user can give his own DNS ip in case of static ip configuration. - Now static and dhcp should work fine in debian.
httpfs
is done, now with improved code, it does not conflict withrun-init
.iscsifs
is also working, but it conflicts withrun-init
( so I am force to work with modifiedrun-init
).
Following the support request in mailing list.
difficult funcations
setup_loop
in initramfs/scripts/live-helpers
, what it has to do with mounting httpfs?- It is essentially
losetup ${options} “${dev}” “${fspath}”
creating Harddisk Image
Aim is to create harddisk image, which can be used to boot kernel with initramfs, and then fetch the root filesystem over Internet.
This will avoid the need of gpxe, and hence will make it easy to test.
