Eelco Dolstra 76c74cd7c7 initrd: Detect filesystem type before doing fsck/mount
BusyBox doesn't handle the "auto" filesystem type very well: fsck will
just ignore such filesystems, and mount will only work properly if the
required kernel module is already loaded.  Therefore, use blkid to
determine the filesystem type.

Also generate an /etc/fstab in the initrd rootfs on the fly.  This is
useful if you're dropped into an emergency shell since it allows you
to say "fsck /dev/sda1" or "mount /dev/sda" and have the right thing
happen.

Shea Levy bb5d2d53fe try isn't used, so use the more compatct seq 10 2012-06-27 09:43:54 -04:00
Mathijs Kwik 061a998840 luks root: c-style for-loop -> seq
The ash shell no longer supports this bash-specific syntax.
This left systems that use luksroot unable to boot.

Eelco Dolstra e64bdda52b Don't use weird 777 permissions on unmounted /dev/shm 2012-06-27 09:35:53 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra 980ba4d5a5 stage-1: mount /proc, /sys, /dev in the target root
The switch_root in BusyBox doesn't do this (while the one in
util-linux does).  So we have to do this ourselves.

Eelco Dolstra 9692495df0 Use BusyBox in the initrd
Using BusyBox instead of Bash plus a bunch of other tools gives us a
much more feature-full, yet smaller initrd.  In particular, BusyBox
contains networking commands such as ip and a DHCP client, useful for
NFS boots.  It's also much more convenient for rescue situations
because the shell has builtin readline support and there are many more
tools (including vi).

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9125d3af50 Adding creation of /dev/ptmx in stage-2, in case stage-1 did not run.
Upstart requires /dev/ptmx since its 1.4, and will lock up in case of it missing.

I was hitting this in the fuloong, where I don't use the nixos initrd.

Eelco Dolstra 4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.

Eelco Dolstra 6f03065dce * Move the setting of $MODULE_DIR to modprobe.nix.
* Add a slash to the end of $MODULE_DIR, as expected by depmod.  (Not
  that running depmod from the command line is all that useful, since
  you can't use it to update the tree in the Nix store.  But at least
  commands like "depmod -n" work now.)  Reported by Kirill Elagin on
  IRC.
