Hi nic007.
It's easy to squish stuff with this procedure. I hope you have a back-up?
Please see my post above and jrb's reply.

Empowering the Zdrv
Hi musher0, not sure I follow. I don't have a devx file. Will it work if the two sfs files are not in the same location... where should I move it to? ....or does this method just have issues anyway like it may work or may not?musher0 wrote:Hi nic007.

Use boot params
Of course instead of renaming files or moding the initrd.gz, you could try specifying them as boot params.
Here is an extract from slacko 5.7 "init", (it's been in standard "init" for a while now)This shows how to use these params. e.g.or
Just be aware of the following limitations:
1) They don't fail gracefully, so get it right.
2) They cannot work on usb drives
3) Only the pup..sfs and pupsave code is capbable of mounting a partition. All other sfs's must reside on one of these 2 partitions.
Remember the order of the sfs's in the aufs stack is adrv, ydrv, pupsfs, zdrv.

Code: Select all
[ $pupsfs ] && PUPSFS=$pupsfs #format partition:<path><filename> ex: sda2:/wary071/wary_071.sfs
[ $zdrv ] && ZDRV=$zdrv #ex: sda2:/wary071/zdrv_071.sfs
[ $adrv ] && ADRV=$adrv
[ $ydrv ] && YDRV=$ydrv
Code: Select all
pupsfs=sda2:/wary071/zdrv_071.sfs zdrv=sda2:/wary071/wary_071.sfs
Code: Select all
ydrv=sda2:/wary071/zdrv_071.sfs
