Hello,

pls find following some patches to the live-intramfs code for initial Ubuntu (<=Jaunty) support.

Issues tackled are:

* lack of 'wc' support in initrd busybox
* lack of /lib/udev/cdrom_id in Jaunty
* invalid mangling of /etc/event.d/tty*

Hopefully you will find them proper and forward upstream for inclusion.

As per Ubuntu Karmic, being only unionfs-fuse currently supported live-initramfs cannot work without substantial modifications. Hopefully this is only a temporary situation.

From http://aufs.sourceforge.net/

Note: it becomes clear that "Aufs was rejected. Let's give it up."
According to Christoph Hellwig, linux rejects all union-type filesystems
but UnionMount.

Therefore in the future, maybe it's better that live-initramfs can support unionfs-fuse, and unionmount.
My 2 cents.

Steven.



Best regards
