Package: live-boot Version: 4.0.2-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I've tried booting a Wheezy system (live-boot 3.x) with Linux 3.18 from experimental, udev from wheezy-backports (Wheezy's udev isn't supported by this new kernel), and union=overlayfs. I'm manually had the overlay module included into the initramfs, to workaround the other bug I've just reported. Boots fails and I get dropped into the initramfs emergency shell, for various reasons: * first, "mount -t overlayfs" is called, while it should be "mount -t overlay" * second, we try to mount the "${UNIONTYPE}" (aka. "overlayfs") device, which fails: it should be "overlay" * third, the call to mount lacks the workdir= option. I've verified that the source code in the debian-next branch is affected as well (but not tested in practice, which seemed futile given the code hasn't changed). I may work on a fix soonish, but don't hold your breathe. It seems that the code would be simpler if we accepted union=overlay instead of union=overlayfs. Can we do that? Non-experimental Debian kernels have never supported overlayfs yet, so that should be fine, no?
