Hi,
while working on creating some images, I've encountered something strange
and was wondering if anyone could help? This relates to iso's created
with livecd-tools-013-8.el5.1 from epel.
I've been playing with making .ks's for machines of different
characteristics (like different amounts of memory installed). I'd assumed
I'd need to make images with defined fs's of <= installed system memory. I
was surprised to find I did not? I was able to boot an image w/ an 8GB /
on a machine with 4GB memory. I encountered problems if I used more than
1GB of fs space on /.
So I created an image with a 3GB /, and tried the same test on the same
machine with 4GB memory, but encountered the same problem if I tried to
use >1GB of /.
It's like the block device that lives under the filesystem isn't actually
"as big" as the fs that's layed down on top of it?
I get I/O errors, and kjournald complaining about not being able to talk
to the device; and then the kernel drops / to read-only.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
