Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Remove stale archivemount support
Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 13:27:37 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240322022739.2746102-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240322022739.2746102-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
mbuto has two ways of building the initramfs. One is the typical approach
of staging its contents in a temporary directory, then building the
initramfs with cpio. The other is to create an empty initramfs, mount
it with archivemount, and copy things into the mounted archive.
However, the archivemount approach is broken. I'm not entirely sure why,
but it appears not to properly unmount the archive and retrieve the final.
filled version. The upshot is that if archivemount is installed, then
mbuto generates an empty, gzip-compressed initramfs instead of whatever it
was supposed to. It looks like this has bitrotted from some earlier
working version.
The archivemount approach is not necessary, and honestly a pretty strange
and roundabout way of building the initramfs. Remove it.
