Facing issues in setting up persistency. Using the grml-rescueboot option

Hello,
  This is my third attempt at getting grml to run persistently.

Previous attempts used grml2usb to install it in tandem with other OSs, first using the grub, and subsequently syslinux. Both attempts ended badly. So, the third time, it was decided to opt for the option, grml-rescueboot to get things going.

0. Get a working Linux Mint system (extended partition sdX5). fdisk -l output is provided below.
1. Copied the grml64.iso into /boot/grml
2. Set up a separate partition called grml-home ( ---"--"--- sdX10) for persistence.
3. Created persistence.conf in the / of grml-home and added all the paths as prescribed in the wiki.
4. Having already installed the grml-rescueboot package, running update-grub added the iso into the menu.
5. Reboot, and choose grml64.iso
6. In the subsequent menu, chose the persistence option
7. Was provided with the following (approximately):

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/grml64full/vmlinuz apm=power-off boot=live live-media-path=/live/grml64-full/ bootid=grml64full201302 nomce findiso=/boot/grml/grml64-full_2013.02.iso "${loopback}" "$kernelopts" persistence
8. After persistence, appended the following:  persistence-label=grml-home
9. Continue boot. During the boot, the messages scroll too quickly to make out if the persistence system is mounted or not.
10. mount on the command line gives:
grml <at> grml ~ % mount
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=755,size=10%,mode=755)
tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880,mode=1777,size=5242880,mode=1777)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/loop0 on /lib/live/mount/medium type iso9660 (ro,noatime)
/dev/loop1 on /lib/live/mount/rootfs/grml64-full.squashfs type squashfs (ro,noatime)
tmpfs on /lib/live/mount/overlay type tmpfs (rw,noatime,mode=755)
rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
configfs on /sys/kernel/config type configfs (rw)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
grml <at> grml ~ %

So, grml-home is not mounted or being used at all. And cat /proc/cmdline gives:
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/grml64full/vmlinuz apm=power-off boot=live live-media-path=/live/grml64-full/ bootid=grml64full201302 nomce findiso=/boot/grml/grml64-full_2013.02.iso "   " persistence persistence-label=grml-home

Basically, no persistence partition was mounted. Despite the label added as a boot time. :-/
I would also like to bring your attention to the empty quotes in the above cmdline screen output.

Last but not the least, here is the output of fdisk, to let you know my disk configuration:
grml <at> grml ~ % fdisk -l

So, my questions,
a) is there something extra that needs doing?
b) why is persistence.conf or persistence-label not being picked up and honoured ?
b) why those spaces in quotes in the commandline in the final output?
d) .................................. ?

I would greatly appreciate any insight from your end that I might be missing here. I would like to get this thing going forward, and recognising the grml-home partition and storing all my settings for the next session would be just fantastic.

Many thanks in advance.
Surio.

Grml download size

Hi,

at first thanks for the good work. in my oppinion you offer the best
linux live cd. but i have one thing to inprove:

at your download site is written that the multiarch download size is
700MB. But infact that are  731MB to download. normaly its ok to round
such sizes but at this point it isnt. im sure you know why :)

so please correct this

greetings and keep up the good work

treaki

odd console output

Hello.
I use grml's zsh configuration on my distro.
If I run the system by runlevel 1 (or 3) and type the command ls, zsh
shows the following (as a normal user the same):

;root <at> hostname: ls [without any line breaks]

The odd thing is that when I run the shell by a terminal emulator (in
my case xfce4-terminal) the output is OK.

We'll I can't read Chinese, maybe somebody can translate? ;-)

The stick boots OK in MBR mode on a SONY VAIO with UEFI.

I found strange partition tables on other ISOs, even older ones.

Can you investigate how these partition tables are generated and fix
that? It would be useful if you could change them on the stick with
fdisk.

Thank you!
Lupe Christoph

PS: I'll use grml2usb for now.

I want to use grml on a dualbootsystem with windows8.

Is speakup, brltty and espeakup or speechdispatcher included in the latest

RC: disable zshrc's share_history feature by default?

Hi,

Grml's zshrc [http://grml.org/zsh/] uses 'setopt share_history' by
default since ages.

This option is responsible for making the history of one Zsh session
available to others "kind-of-immediately". So when sending 'echo
foobar' in one terminal, then pressing e.g. <return> in another zsh
session of the same user then cursor up will show 'echo foobar' on
the command line.

While I personally like the feature and somewhat got used to it it's
also one of the most discussed settings of grml-zshrc. It has the
potential to do harm, especially if you aren't aware of that
feature.

This is why I'd like to disable this setting by default (but provide
it as commented feature so it's trivial to just enable it on
request). Of course you will be able to just customize it via e.g.
.zshrc.local, it's really just about the default behaviour.

Any objections against that switch? Happy to hear your {N,}ACKs. :)

regards,
-mika-

Persistence not working

Hello all,

I cannot get persistency to work with grml 2013.02.  I'm creating a
live USB stick using grml2usb installed on my Debian Wheezy machine.
Per the wiki, I create a 700 MB fat16 partition for grml and give the
remaining space as an ext3 partition labeled "persistence".  On the
persistence partition is persistence.conf setup per the wiki.  I
execute grml2usb either with --bootoptions="persistence" or by
choosing persistence from the menu at boot (same result).  When
booting, here's what I see on the screen:

    mount:  mounting /dev/sda on /root/lib/live/mount/persistence/sda
failed:  No such device
    [...snip...scans sdb sdc]

later I get:

    mounting /live/medium on /root/lib/live/mount/medium failed:
Invalid argument

and later:

    Mount point '/root/lib/live/mount/persistence/sdb1' does not
exist.  Skipping mount ...

Am I doing something wrong somewhere in this process?  If not, is
there a work-around that I can use?

Thank you!

Josh

No dump/restore in the default images?

Hello,

hopefully it's not a FAQ, but at least using a major search engine
didn't give me a useful pointer …

From the default GRML image (2013-02) I'm missing the dump package. This
package contains dump(8) and restore(8) for ext{2,3,4} file systems.
Probaby using dump(8) is not really necessary, but using restore(8) is
my only option sometimes.

Having amanda would be great too …

Is there anything I can do to get these packages into GRML?

    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
    Viele Grüße aus Dresden

Hello,

hopefully it's not a FAQ, but at least using a major search engine
didn't give me a useful pointer …

From the default GRML image (2013-02) I'm missing the dump package. This
package contains dump(8) and restore(8) for ext{2,3,4} file systems.
Probaby using dump(8) is not really necessary, but using restore(8) is
my only option sometimes.

Having amanda would be great too …

Is there anything I can do to get these packages into GRML?

    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
    Viele Grüße aus Dresden

Where can I download the file: grml_2011.05.iso ?


I can't find it anymore on the download sites?

I thought I had it around, but can only find the 64bit version...

-Thanks!  -Tom
