See I am reading about people using unionFS. Which appears im not.. I was trying to run with a keydisk.. and having another problem I see on the list and that was making a password change stick over a reboot which mine did not.. I never really worried about that too much as I almost never had to reboot my machine... so now ive got an identical box im working so I didn't take my production system down.....here is what I did to see if im doing it right or not
Did a physdiskwrite and wrote a runnix.img CF image to a Sandisk 1 gig card Built my astlinux from scratch.. in this case trunk 1895 Copied the contents of 'astlinux-trunk-1895' to the 'os' directory on the card. Put the CF card in my Neo Light (cv860a), booted it up This time it came up normally and I got the astlinux login, so I did the following: Fdisk /dev/hdc Created 512 meg partition which became /dev/hdc2 Rebooted Did a mkfs.ext3 on the /dev/hdc2 Umount /oldroot/cdrom Mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /oldroot/cdrom Edited astlinux-trunk-1895.run.conf file to say astkd=/dev/hdc2 and saved. Reboot System comes back up and I did a genkd /dev/hdc2 and it created my keydisk Reboot System comes back up and I do a passwd It tells me it mounts root as rw, I enter my new passcode.. remounts to read only.. I logout and log back in using new passcode.. Reboot System comes back up and I have to use the default password to log in again and cant use my new one.. I also notice it generates new keys each time as I get a new key warning each time I ssh in if it has been rebooted... I am not using asturw as I am using astkd.. although since all my files are on the same Keydisk maybe I should?? Im farther along than I was but how do I get it to where it will keep my passcode across a reboot? Does that have something to do with the astlive in my KCMD? Does it think it is running a Live CD version all the time and not a fully installed version? -Christopher -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darrick Hartman Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 2:35 PM To: AstLinux Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Trunk image will not mount - need a little help Chris, Make sure you replace the initrd file as well when you update the image. Some recent changes in that were made to include e2fsck, findfs and a few other tools to help check the unionfs file system before it gets mounted.
