Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.157.4-2
Severity: wishlist
Please add LVM support in live-initramfs, so that it will become
possible to host Live filesystem images on LVM logical volumes.
To do that, two changes are to be made:
* the local-top/lvm2 script (of initramfs-tools) should somehow
be called earlier, most probably as part of the live-premount/
sequence;
* the script should also consider "$LIVE_MEDIA", like:
activate_vg "$ROOT"
+ activate_vg "$LIVE_MEDIA"
activate_vg "$resume"
FWIW, copying the script's contents into
/scripts/live-premount/zz_lvm2, making the change above and
recreating the image (with $ fakeroot... cpio --quiet
--dereference -o -H newc | gzip -9c > ...) have allowed me to
create a bootable Debian Live system with the Live image
residing on a logical volume.
