Thanks for testing and reporting back!

regards,
Mika

I tested again using grml64-full_testing_latest.iso with bootid=grml64full_testing20120731 and did not run into this save-config problem, so from my point of view it's fixed there - thank you.

Hi,

gna sorry, I pushed my fix to the wrong package/repository. I just uploaded the corrected grml-
autoconfig version to the repository now.

Could you please give it a shot tomorrow or so with the most current daily ISO then?

thx && regards,
-mika-

Hi Mika,

I used grml64-full_testing_latest.iso which I downloaded today. I booted it and did not provide any config.tbz. After that I created/modified some files in /etc and mounted a local hdd partition in /mnt/grmlcfg. Now I executed "save-config -all -file /mnt/grmlcfg/testiso.tbz" and got the following response:

find: `/live/cow/etc': No such file or directory
Successfully stored configuration in file /mnt/grmlcfg/testiso.tbz

A "tar -tvjf /mnt/grmlcfg/testiso.tbz" shows, that there is no /etc related stuff included.

There is no directory /live/cow at my machines, below /live exist the following dir only: image,overly and rofs. The same situation I see in our vmware virtual machines.


regards,
falko

Hi Falko,

did you have the opportunity to give grml-saveconfig 0.3.0 a shot?

regards,
Mika

Hi,

I've just uploaded grml-saveconfig 0.3.0 to grml-testing which includes a bunch of 
fixes regarding this issue. Please let us know whether this works for you (the 
daily ISOs as of tomorrow available at http://daily.grml.org/ are supposed to 
include that fix).

thanks for the bugreport && regards,
-mika-

Dear GRML team,

the offered possibility to store changed files in /etc by the save-config script does not work at our machines (FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX300) if they use grml64-full_2012.05 --- the KNECHTROOTRECHT release worked fine at the same machines.

I could bring it to work at my machines by changing the test required for setting the NEWLAYOUT variable, so that it checks now the existence of /live/cow instead of /live/image (our /live directory contains image,overlay and rofs subdirs only):

-----------------------------------------------------------------
# old linuxrc version:
  [ -d /cdrom ]      && OLDLAYOUT=1 || OLDLAYOUT=''
  # new initramfs layout:
  #[ -d /live/image ] && NEWLAYOUT=1 || NEWLAYOUT=''
  [ -d /live/cow ] && NEWLAYOUT=1 || NEWLAYOUT=''
...
save_etc(){
  debug "save etc"
  if [ -n "$NEWLAYOUT" ] ; then
     $runas find /live/cow/etc -type f -o -type l | sed -e 's#/live/cow## ; /etc$/d' >> $FILELIST
  else
     $runas findchanged /etc /GRML/etc >> $FILELIST
  fi
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------


We use following kernel boot options: apm=power-off vga=791 nomce quiet lang=de tz=Europe/Berlin keyboard=de npgpm noquick nodhcp noeject noprompt nolvm
I attached a zipped syslog of our boot process, if thats point of interest for something.


... and many thanks for this project !
