For as long as I've been involved with the project, the root.bin initrd has been created using debugfs and a "script" which is fed into it. This has basically been ok for us, nevermind that the resulting filesystem is incomplete and does not pass fsck due to the incompleteness of our script. For a few days, I have been trying to design a similar system for producing a root filesystem image for a UML system. Debugfs's weaknesses are clearly showing (inability to create symlinks or chmod files, etc) and I am in need of a more appropriate tool. Specifically, I am looking for something more like genromfs or mkisofs, which creates a filesystem image and then fills it with the files it finds in a directory specified on the command line. I have not been able to find such a tool for creating ext2 filesystems. Does anyone know of one? -Nate -- --< ((\))< >----< [email protected] >----< http://www.movealong.org/ >-- pub 1024D/05A058E0 2002-03-07 Nate Riffe (06-Mar-2002) <[email protected]> Key fingerprint = 0DAC F5CB D182 3165 D757 C466 CD42 12A8 05A0 58E0
