* fs/ext2: bump journal overhead to 1300 blocksPeter Korsgaard2013-04-121-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A quick test with a ~3.5MB ext4 filesystem shows that 1081 blocks isn't enough: tune2fs 1.42.7 (21-Jan-2013) Please run e2fsck on the filesystem. Creating journal inode: Journal size too big for filesystem. So bump it a bit. Overestimating the journal size is probably not really a big deal for the kind of systems using ext3/4 anyway.

* fs/ext2: add support for ext2 rev0 and rev1Yann E. MORIN2013-04-123-7/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some bootloaders have a buggy ext2 support, and require ext2 rev1 instead of the traditional ext2 rev0 that genext2fs produces. tune2fs accepts only one '-O list' at a time, so we need to construct a list of -O options.

* fs/ext2: add ability to build ext3/4 tooYann E. MORIN2013-04-123-10/+105
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the host-e2fsprogs to tune2fs the generated rootfs.ext2 image, and upgrade it to either one of ext2, ext3 or ext4. Since calling tune2fs may require running e2fsck (tune2fs will warn to do so when certain FS options are changed), we systematically call e2fsck. This makes the code path simpler, and as a side-effect checks that genext2fs did not generate garbage. In turn, e2fsck will unconditionally add a UUID to the filesystem, which is bad for reproducibility, so we call tune2fs again to remove the UUID. This does not require checking the filesystem. To ensure compatibility of Buildroot's .config, leave ext2 as the default. Boards' .config can override this at will. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

* fs/common.mk: Strip extra whitespace when device table is emptyEzequiel Garcia2013-03-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLES is a concatenation of two strings separated by spaces, there will always be a space in it, which means it's never empty. Therefore, when testing for empty, the condition never evaluate to false. The following change fixes this problem; it runs qstrip on the overall combination of the variables, causing the space to be removed if it's the only thing left.

* fs/common.mk: delay evaluation of variablesArnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)2013-01-2011-37/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra. For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk. It also makes it possible to update the variables later, e.g. in the package override file. It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file. The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted anymore in the CMD variables or the hooks. The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET) variable is already eval'd. Note that it is only redundant if the evaluation of the uses of the variable is also delayed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A /dev/console node must be present in rootfs when the Linux kernel boots otherwise the kernel will print the following warning: "Warning: unable to open an initial console" This is because when we use an initramfs the /dev directory is not populated at this point.

* Warn the user about the usage of output/target as the root filesystemThomas Petazzoni2012-11-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A very common mistake done by our users is that they use output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read documentation, so it is not sufficient. This patch adds a text file named output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The process is: * At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM * In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this file is not present in the generated root filesystem images. Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two reasons: * It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in capital letters inside system/skeleton/ * The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.

* iso9660 fs: use cpio initrd instead of ext2Arnout Vandecappelle2012-11-142-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ext2 initrd is pretty broken, because it requires an additional root=/dev/ram0 command line parameter, and a /init to mount devtmps that isn't there in out ext2 rootfs. So just use a cpio instead. Note that there is no check if the kernel supports initramfs or the selected compression method. Also removed a bit of dead code in iso9660.mk.

A new system/ directory makes more sense. As a consequence, this patch also removes target/Makefile.in, which has become useless in the process.

* Remove unused .fakeroot.* mechanismThomas Petazzoni2012-04-192-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There used to be a mechanism using which packages could leave a .fakeroot.<something> file which could contain commands to be executed within the fakeroot environment. Since this mechanism is no longer used by any package, remove it from the common infrastructure. The latest user was nfs-utils, which used this mechanism to do the "make install" as root, since doing otherwise was not supported. But since 16e7b8255c82815126a2c502c3787d442d254a86, nfs-utils has been upgraded and converted to the package infrastructure, and this hack is no longer necessary. Another past user was the ltp-testsuite package, for the same reason, and since a72a670489547a3ca645ff7c3a0d9c3fb66eab51, the fakeroot hack is no longer needed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Devtmpfs doesn't get automounted by the kernel when an initramfs is used. Since cpio archives are used almost exclusively as an initramfs, the same fix should be applied to it as for the initramfs.

* initramfs/init: make sure that 0, 1, 2 fds are availableThomas Petazzoni2011-08-041-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the kernel doesn't automatically mount devtmpfs when an initramfs is used, commit 424888e47431db738f5f9b3c6392435bfce7a842 has introduced a small wrapper script that mounts devtmpfs before starting the real init. Unfortunately, the problem is that in this case, the init process runs without any 0, 1 and 2 file descriptors, so none of the messages/errors printed by the various initialization scripts can be seen. This is due to the fact the init process relies on 0, 1 and 2 being opened by the kernel before init is started. However, as /dev/console isn't present on the filesystem at the time the kernel tries to open the console to create the 0, 1 and 2 file descriptors, the kernel fails on this and prints the famous "Warning: unable to open an initial console". The proposed workaround is to actually open 0, 1 and 2 to /dev/console in the wrapper script, right after mounting the devtmpfs filesystem, and before starting the real init. The "Warning" from the kernel is still shown, but at least the messages from the init scripts are visible.
