USM bug reports

[brokenman]

So you have no whiteout-base file in the root of your changes (.wh..wh.aufs)?

No I didn't check with changes=EXIT code. Will check that shortly.

Lastly, what is with the odd file path (/mnt/live/memory/images/changes) ?
It should be /mnt/live/memory/images and /mnt/live/memory/changes with a standard set up. The /images/ directory contains aufs mounts of the module system. The /changes/ directory contains everything that changed. Do you perhaps have a module (with no extension) or a changes file in your modules folder?

So you have no whiteout-base file in the root of your changes (.wh..wh.aufs)?

I guess so.

Lastly, what is with the odd file path (/mnt/live/memory/images/changes) ?

It is the path fathom gave me a while back (http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 099#p25097) that allows me to check the space and etc of my changes file without having to reboot to Always Fresh mode to do it.

As for .wh. files on my live system:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su

[brokenman]

Ok, this path appears when you are usinga save.dat file changes=EXIT. It should contain the white base, orph and plnk files though. Testing now.

Confirmed (as fanthom stated previously) that the bug is in the changes=EXIT code (doesn't happen with normal changes). Probably related to removepkg creating whiteout files. I will create a new thread for this to gather info.

[Ed_P]

Lastly, what is with the odd file path (/mnt/live/memory/images/changes) ?
It should be /mnt/live/memory/images and /mnt/live/memory/changes with a standard set up. The /images/ directory contains aufs mounts of the module system. The /changes/ directory contains everything that changed. Do you perhaps have a module (with no extension) or a changes file in your modules folder?

Ya kno this got me thinking. All my focus has been on the save.dat file, before doing the USM update, after the update and after rebooting. Looking at the white files in the live changes before and after the update could prove enlightening.

While my white file removal process removes all .wh. files in the save.dat file it doesn't impact white base, orph and plnk files in the live changes directory so they would be readded to save.dat the next time I exit Porteus. Right?





hmmmm I think we cross posted. Your last paragraph wasn't there initially.

[brokenman]

I've emailed fanthom with some questions about linuxrc.

[fanthom]

please try this initrd which fixes usm update problem with 'changes=EXIT:' cheatcode:
http://ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/testing/initrd.xz
hopefully it wont break anything else

please let me know about any the troubles you experience when using it.

thanks

[Blaze]

Add support for authenticated proxy.

On the job i use straight proxy. Thanks.

I'm promotion Porteus on my job...
Developer of http://www.keysystems.ru/ working on client Budget-SMART for Linux (Russian name is Бюджет-СМАРТ под Linux) Gtk, mono.

Translate from Google

Appointment
The software package "Budget-Smart" is designed to automate the compilation, analysis and execution of the budget entity and municipal budgets.

The complex is a multi-user system that has flexible settings to the individual requirements of organizations and allow you to work remotely on the Internet / Intranet communication channels. In this software package "Budget-Smart" provides a complete client application that resides on the user's computer.

The software package "Budget-SMART" operates in the mode of absence due to the financial body and is built on three-tier architecture (client application - the application server - database server) on the basis of object kernel application software "Budget-KS" operated in the territorial and municipal financial institutions. Inherits a powerful help system and a convenient system administration, has full compatibility format of data transmitted.

At my request, modules for Prtreus added to the repository keysystems.ru
Now Porteus is support Budget-SMART for Linux

http://keysystems.ru/files/web/INSTALL/ ... epository/

Cheers,
Blaze

[brokenman]

Fanthom yes this resolves the problem. Thanks very much.

Blaze, that's excellent news!

[Ed_P]

please try this initrd which fixes usm update problem with 'changes=EXIT:' cheatcode:
http://ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/testing/initrd.xz

Ok. But what do I do with this .xz file? Put it in my modules directory? Put it's name in a cheatcode?

please let me know about any the troubles you experience when using it.

Ok. What type of troubles should I look for? What does initrd.xz do?

thanks

Actually thank you fathom.

[Ed_P]

Ok, so initrd.xz is a boot module. As in:

Code: Select all

initrd /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz

But I boot from an ISO with the Grub4DOS boot manager.

Code: Select all

title Porteus 3.0  changes=      \n 213MB\n Porteus-RazorQT-v3.0-x86_64.iso 
find --set-root                       /ISOs/Porteus-RazorQT-v3.0-x86_64.iso
map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0   /ISOs/Porteus-RazorQT-v3.0-x86_64.iso (0xff) 
map --hook
root (0xff)
kernel /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz    from=/ISOs/Porteus-RazorQT-v3.0-x86_64.iso changes=EXIT:/porteus/changes/porteussave.dat extramod=/mnt/sda5/porteus/modules volume=40  
initrd /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz

To test this module do I make the initrd line

Code: Select all

initrd /mnt/sda5/porteus/testing/initrd.xz

??

[fanthom]

What type of troubles should I look for? What does initrd.xz do?

.wh..wh.orph files are no longer copied to rw branch by linuxrc which means then does not play a role when changes=EXIT is used.
i have no idea what it may cause but initial testing went fine (maybe because changes=EXIT: works different than normal changes=)

To test this module do I make the initrd line
initrd /mnt/sda5/porteus/testing/initrd.xz

yes - this should be good.

in case of other queries please start new thread as this discussion in not USM related.

[Ed_P]

Still getting the error messages all day (after updating once more at end of day).

[brokenman]

Ignore the warning message. It doesn't affect anything and will be fixed in next update. It is just complaining about a number.
