Have you tried putting /dev/sda4 in place of LABEL=GENTOO?
Probably wont help, but worth a try.
All that seems right to me. The label came from mkfs.btrfs -m raid1 -d
raid1 --label=GENTOO /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4
Adding rootdelay=30 made no difference either. In fact I didn't see
such a
pause.
It does smell like a timing issue, but I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid.

Yes, you're right; it's a typo. The selection and paste buffers are distinctly
rocky into and out of VirtualBox, so I had the two windows adjacent and typed
what I read (almost!).

Yes, tried that.

It looks as though Neil has hit the nail on the head.

Usually you just bridge a virtual ethernet interface to the host, but if you have multiple physical interfaces you could have each namespace have its own physical interface (I have no idea if the cell network vs wifi network interfaces are separated in android). You could set iptables either on the bridge on the host (which MUST be done from the host), or on the virtual interface in the container, and each set of rules affects the packets that go through it.

Is this what dracut --print-cmdline recommended?

Thanks James. I seem to have plenty of progress messages already; it isn't like a standard boot process because it's in a VM. Still, I'll have a look at it. Perhaps a parallel (as much as possible) install on actual spinning rust (a real HD) might illuminate the location of the problem(s) inherent to the VM install procedure ? Perhaps, just separate the steps into (2) separate sequences, one real one for vm, and (assuming the real hw steps work) look at the differences on what much occur for the vm install to be successful? Perhaps script it up and let different folks try your steps (sequence) to verify the failure points of the install procedss? hth, James

Sounds a little pessimistic...it is not. Its only the sound of frustration. I want to block out the man (goo...) in the middle while copying files from my PC to my tablet and vice versa via wifi. As soon the wifi is switched on, my tablet starts talking to persons I had never known (goo...). So I installed some Android firewalls and a Android SFTP-servers. No go...all firewalls I tried block all incoming traffic and there is no switch to deactivate or define it better. Some SFTP-server application even stop working, if they could not phone home. Last chance: Installing a fully functional chrooted Linux, setup some handcrafted iptables/ipset/sidmat stuff (which I still have to do) and...get a Yes, network is shared on kernel level as answer from this thread. :) And I got this answer...YEAH! :)) Thanks a lot for your help!!! Best regards and have a nice weekend! Meino

If your goal is to block outgoing connections to selected IPs then you just need to have iptables/etc installed. Doing it from a chroot is probably a good a solution as any. You could also go the prefix route, though that is trickier. Neither is any better, so I'd stick with simple and use the chroot. -- Rich
