[arch-releng] [RFC] Switch from dm-snapshot to overlay
by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi 28 Sep '15

28 Sep '15

Hello Guys, what do you think about switching to overlay filesystem by default? This is already implemented around Jan 2015 of this year. Why?: * It seems the most "natural" way. * Low RAM usage if user wants do to some changes inside live-enviroment. * No crazy crashes if zero-free-space is reached (some bbs/wiki talks posts ask about this) There is at least two issues at boot time: (1) /var/log/journal: Cannot set file attribute for '/var/log/journal', value=0x00800000, mask=0x00800000: Inappropriate ioctl for device (2) /etc/machine-id: Failed to unmount transient /etc/machine-id file in our private namespace: Invalid argument (1) Does not care. (2) Unsure about it. The file has an "id" after bootup, maybe the most safe thing to do, is to generate machine-id at build time (or at initramfs), instead of just placing an empty file and generate an "id" at runtime (on switched-root). # hostnamectl Static hostname: archiso Icon name: computer-vm Chassis: vm Machine ID: b0e5ffa9728f421dacf4564936dce6e1 Boot ID: 92e4f6a2202f49798cb0e4782e791daf Virtualization: kvm Operating System: Arch Linux Kernel: Linux 4.1.2-2-ARCH Architecture: x86-64
