live-boot create "normal", non-live fully persistent raw disk images?
Hi!
TLDR:
Can live-boot create "normal", fully persistent raw disk images?
By fully fully persistent I mean similar to images usually created by
grml-debootstrap, vmdebootstrap or similar where by default any file
edited on the disk will persist. Not live mode, without the "persistent"
boot parameter, without "lb_persistence", without persistence.conf,
without squashfs, without separate persistent disk partition.
Long:
Here are the relevant options that I am already using.
lb config \
--binary-filesystem ext4 \
--chroot-filesystem ext4 \
--binary-image hdd \
--system normal
Then also manually removed the boot=live parameter after booting.
Maybe all I would need to do it provide an /etc/fstab?
Do I misunderstand the purpose of these options or is '--system normal'
not yet complete? I cannot find a lot on the topic of '--system normal
'.
Why would I want to do this? The live-boot project is amazing, figured
out lots of complex things, hybrid boot for legacy BIOS boot, EFI boot,
SecureBoot, even reproducible builds are underway and plethora of other
nice things. I was wondering if I could use live-boot to create both, VM
images (fully persistent, non-live) as well as ISO images (live).
Cheers,
Patrick
