Bug#707116: live-build: httpfs2 support broken
Package: live-build
Version: 3.0.5-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
it seems that support for httpfs2 is broken in wheezy's live-build.
* What led up to the situation?
In squeeze's version of live-build, it was possible to use a root filesystem located on a HTTP webserver which was accessed using "httpfs2". This does not work any more with wheezy.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
$ lb config \
--apt apt \
--apt-indices false \
--apt-recommends false \
--architectures i386 \
--archive-areas "main non-free" \
--binary-images tar \
--debootstrap-options "--variant=minbase" \
--distribution stable \
--firmware-chroot false \
--initramfs live-boot \
--initramfs-compression lzma \
--linux-flavours 486 \
--memtest none
$ echo "httpfs2" >config/package-lists/my.list.chroot
$ lb build
Then I copied the resulting binary/live/{initrd.img*,vmlinuz*,filesystem.squashfs} to a local webserver, renamed filesystem.squashfs to rootfs.squashfs and booted using iPXE. The kernel append line contains "httpfs=http://192.168.1.1/rootfs.squashfs";
* What was the outcome of this action?
Kernel and initrd get loaded, kernel boots and prints "This Debian Live image failed to boot".
/boot.log contains the following last lines:
file name: rootfs.squashfs
host name: 192.168.1.1
port number: 80
protocol: http
request path: /rootfs.squashfs
auth data: (null)
file size: 101666816
/bin/mount: invalid option --
It seems that the mount command of busybox has problems with libfuse's mount options.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would expect that the httpfs is mounted like it worked in squeeze.
