drakx/mdk-stage1/tools.c, branch 16.71 Mageia Installer and base platform for many utilities stage1: Move the symlink creation from stage1 to init. 2013-10-29T20:29:07+00:00 Colin Guthrie colin@mageia.org 2013-10-19T20:30:12+00:00 c4321813f9f3cd4136203d52c0f20343d7722228 In order to run stage1 we now need to do things a little differently, namely that we move the symlinking fixups into 'init' itself which we will actually call as a kind of fake switch_root implementation to avoid hacking dracut too much[1]. As we run stage1 during dracut's 'mount' phase we should not do the symlink hacks so early otherwise it will mess up the rest of the dracut initqueue processing. Currently, the initrd's /usr is nuked and then symlinked, but to allow for easier debugging I now just bind mount the stage2 /usr over the top which allows us to unmount it again easily enough if we want to go back. We no longer touch the /bin, /sbin or /lib[64] symlinks as these are relative and simply bind mounting /usr is enough to fix all of them. 1. This scheme will have to change if we eventually swtich to a systemd based dracut invocation.
