Bug#460456: live-initramfs: live script unable to mount USB sqaushfs filesystem.

[jplejacq at quoininc.com (Jean Pierre LeJacq)]

Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.110.5-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable


The live script uses a mount command that specifies the type of the filesystem
to mount. For some reason this fails dropping me into the initramfs prompt. I
get the following in the live.log file:

  debug: Can not mount backev /dev/loop0 (image 
= /live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs) on 
croot/imagename //filesystem.squashfs
  mount: failed ...

I've attached a patch that removes the type which allows the mount to 
complete.
