Bug#380686: initramfs-tools: busybox mount doesn't support nfs
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.73
Severity: important
when setting BOOT=nfs and trying to boot, the nfs mount fails, because
busybox mount does not support nfs mounting (debian bug #348664:
busybox: consider CONFIG_NFSMOUNT)
this is what happens on boot:
IP-Config: eth0 complete (from 10.0.2.2):
address: 10.0.2.15 broadcast: 10.0.2.255 netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.0.2.2 dns0 : 10.0.2.3 dns1 : 0.0.0.0
rootserver: 10.0.2.2 rootpath:
filename :
Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-premount ...
Done.
mount: Mounting 10.0.2.2:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /root failed: No such file or
directory
Begin: Running /scripts/nfs-bottom ...
Done.
i've manually verified that "busybox mount" behaves the same way if run
on a normal system (not from initramfs-tools).
when i try setting BUSYBOX=n in initramfs.conf, i get an ugly warning:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-486
Warning: Busybox is required for successful boot!
is there any way around this (to get regular mount installed in the
initramfs)?
live well,
vagrant
