Package: squashfs-tools Version: 1:4.0-8 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/mksquashfs
I wish I could back up an active root filesystem like this: mksquashfs --just-one-filesystem / /dev/sda2 AFAICT the nearest approximation at present is to 1) specify a lot of --excludes. This breaks if someone creates new mounts and forgets to extend the list of exclusions -- for example, if another sysadmin decides named should be chrooted, and in the process mounts proc on /var/named/chroot/proc; or 2) run mksquashfs on a mounted read-only snapshot of the target filesystem. This works, but only if LVM is already in use. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages squashfs-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.11.1-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime squashfs-tools recommends no packages. squashfs-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
