Bug#468902: live-helper: claims to support ext3, but doesn't



Package: live-helper
Version: 1.0~a38-1
Severity: minor

The manual page of lh_config says that ext3 is supported for the chroot
filesystem.  When choosing this, however, the filesystem image is not
copied into the binary.  In /usr/bin/lh_binary_rootfs, there is a case
statement to do this, and ext3 is not in there.

It would be quite easy to add it, by using ext2|ext3 and using
${LH_CHROOT_FILESYSTEM} instead of "ext2" in there.

I'm marking this as minor, because I don't really see the point of using
ext3 over ext2 for a live system.  It's going to be mounted read-only
anyway, so journalling isn't going to give any benefit.

Thanks,
Bas
