Bug#584277: live-helper: building net fails for non-nfs root
Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a14-1
Severity: normal
Hello
The live-initramfs should support these net filesystems (or
"filesystems") to boot from:
nfs, cifs, httpfs and wget.
The live-helper (according to man page) supports these net filesystems:
nfs, cfs (yes, without an i)
When building with --net-root-filesystem set to unsupported type the
build fails at the very end.
The live-helper should be able to generate a netboot tarball with
configuration for any kind of filesystem live-initramfs supports so that
the user can just unpack the tarball on the server and point the tftp
and filesystem servers at the appropriate parts of the tarball.
Thanks
Michal
