Package: live-initramfs

Severity: important
live-snapshot does not work as documented:
# live-snapshot -d /dev/sdb1
live-snapshot: option requires an argument -- d
Terminating.
# live-snapshot
ln: creating symbolic link `/home/grml/Desktop/live-snapshot' to
`/mnt/live-snapshot': No such file or directory
# ls -la /mnt/live-snapshot

I'm not sure how:
ARGS="${1}"
ARGUMENTS="$(getopt --longoptions
cow:,device:,output,resync-string:,type:,help,usage,version --name=${PROGRAM}
--options c:d:o:t:r:,h,u,v --shell sh -- ${ARGS})"
should work at all. Changing that into:
ARGS="$*"
[...]
seems to fix at least the option parsing issue.
And the:
if [ ! -L /home/${USERNAME}/Desktop/live-snapshot ]
then
ln -s "${MOUNTP}"
/home/${USERNAME}/Desktop/live-snapshot
fi
should include a check whether /home/${USERNAME}/Desktop exists at
all.
Is anyone using live-snapshot at all? :) It should receive some work
+ updates - like providing some usage examples in the manpage. I'm
not even sure how to re-use the generated live-sn.cpio.gz file when
rebooting my live-system. I'd work on those issues and will provide
patches, but would welcome some basic instructions about the
supposed workflow of live-snapshot before re-enventing the wheel. ;)
