Although genext2fs only allows a normal user to create a UID/GID 0 root |
|
|
|
filesystem up to a maximum size of 8192k, there is an easy solution to |
|
|

create root filesystems larger than this limit. Eventually, |

I'll automate the steps required, but for now you will have to do it |

manually. |

1. Create your root filesystem as you normally would when using |

|
1. You may want to create a helper root filesystem |
|
|
|
(<=8192k), and give it an unique name in the |
|
|
|
ARS Root Filename. The root_fs |
|
|
|
created from Example.yard provides all the functionality you need, |
|
|
|
regardless, you will need some sort of working root_fs with all the |
|
|
|
necessary system utilities before proceeding with the next step. |
|
|
|
We will call this root_fs_helper. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. Create your root filesystem (>8192k) as you normally would when |
|
|
|
using |
|
|
|
genext2f, making sure to choose the filesystem size you require from |
|
|
|
the ARS. |
|
|
|
Proceed through the required stages, and when you finish the Create stage |

there will be an ERROR dialog box which will pop up saying "Cannot genext2fs |

an ERROR dialog box will pop up saying "Cannot genext2fs |
|
|
|
filesystem" which you can safely ignore. At this point in the |
|
|
|
"echo /tmp/gboot_root_`id -u`" directory there is an empty file with the name |
|
|
|
specified in the ARS Root Filename field. Above this directory |
|
|
|
"echo /tmp/gboot_non_ root_`id -u`" directory there is an empty file |
|
|
|
with the name |
|
|
|
specified in the ARS Root Filename field which we will assume is called |
|
|
|
root_fs. Above this directory |
|
|
|
in loopback/ all files and directories copied over during the Create stage |
|
|
|
can be found. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|

|
|
|
|
|
2. |
|
|
|
3. Open up the UML box from the ARS. In the Root_Fs |
|
|
|
entry ubd0 should be pointing to the helper root_fs, and |
|
|
|
ubd1 should be pointing to the empty root_fs file: |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
ubd0=/tmp/gboot_non_root_1000/root_fs_helper ubd0=/tmp/gboot_non_root_1000/root_fs |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The devfs is used in this example. |
|
|
|
Press the Submit button on the UML box, and login to |
|
|
|
the root_fs_helper. Create two mounting directories if they |
|
|
|
don't exist. For this example, /mnt1 and |
|
|
|
/mnt2 are used. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Make a filesystem type of your own choice on /dev/ubd/1: |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
mke2fs -m0 /dev/ubd/1 |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Mount /dev/ubd/1 on /mnt1: |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
mount /dev/ubd/1 /mnt1 |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Mount the host filsystem on /mnt2: |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
mount -t hostfs none -o /tmp/gboot_non_root_1000/loopback /mnt2 |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Copy everything from loopback to /mnt1: |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
cp -a /mnt2/* /mnt1 |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Change UIDs and GIDs to the appropriate user: |
|
|
|
<pre> |
|
|
|
chown -v -R 0:0 /mnt1/* |
|
|
|
chown -v -R 1002:1002 /mnt1/home |
|
|
|
</pre> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Unmount everything. Root_fs is now ready to be used! |
