Bug#655438: installation-reports: nilfs2 support
Package: installation-reports
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
It would be nice to support nilfs2 as a option during installation. It seems
that there are only two things that need to be done: Add nilfs2 to the list of
kernel modules, and get partman to support nilfs2. I presume the first thing
is easy, but I do not know how hard the second is.
I worked around it by using a Debian Squeeze Live CD. That allowed me to run
gparted to create the partitions, and then mkfs.nilfs2 to make the filesystems.
Otherwise, I just followed the instructions in Appendix D.3 "Installing Debian
GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux System". The only thing I had to special was to
add
nilfs2
to the file
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules
and then run "update-initramfs -u" in the chroot.
Thanks,
Walter Landry
