I've reported separate bug #1218429 (casper-bottom/14locales should check if locale isn't already generated) It seems command /usr/sbin/locale-gen , used in 14locales script, should detect that en_US .UTF-8 is already generated, but doesn't detect during startup of live system and generates

The 18 month support period for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 has reached its end of life - http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-7.10-eol . As a result, we are closing the linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22 task. It would be helpful if you could test the new Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release and confirm if this issue

The kernel part of this issue had to do with unionfs, per https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/43706/comments/7 I have no idea whether the same issue affects aufs, though it's possible. This needs to be verified on 9.04. -- - mdz -- Excessive memory usage on live CD

The linux-restricted-modules .ko files aren't the ones that are copied up by unionfs, so aren't what I was talking about. You're right, though, I think it would be a good idea not to generate them. -- Excessive memory usage on live CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/43706 You received this bug

Matt: deleting the copied-up versions in /cow is probably the simplest answer, but (a) requires showmounts or else can only be done in the initramfs (b) is a code path in unionfs we don't otherwise exercise so I don't want to prod it now. I'm not sure I feel like chasing down all the possible
