Run "urpmi --auto-update" install everything that can be installed. +</I>>>><i> 2. Ensure that latest dracut is installed. Run "urpmi dracut" to make +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> sure (it may have been excluded in the --auto-update if it was in a +</I>>>><i> transaction with other packages that could not be installed). +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> 3. Ensure that you do not have zapata or dpkg installed (rpm -e zapata; +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> rpm -e dpkg) +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> 4. Generate a new initrd and include the conversion script: dracut -f +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> -a convertfs +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> 5. If you have /usr on a separate partition +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> - Ensure there is enough free space to hold /bin, /sbin, /lib and +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> /lib64 content. +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> - If your /usr is mounted readonly, change your /etc/fstab to mount +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> it rw. +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> 6. Reboot. +</I>>>><i> 7. At the bootloader prompt, edit the command line and append: "rw +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> rd.convertfs" (without the quotes) to your command line and then boot. +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> That should be all that is needed :) +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> If you are extra paranoid, or want to see what is going on, then you can +</I>>>><i> remove the "splash" and "quiet" options from the kernel too. +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> If you want to see things in more depth, you can also add +</I>>>><i> rd.break=pre-pivot to the kernel. You will be dumped into a shell with +</I>>>><i> your / mounted as /sysroot. This shell is *before* conversion. If you +</I>>>><i> type "exit" the conversion will be done, and you'll be dumped to another +</I>>>><i> shell afterwards. Typing exit once more here will boot the system as +</I>>>><i> normal. +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> All the best and good luck!!! +</I>>>><i> +</I>>>><i> Col +</I>>><i> +</I>>><i> Hi +</I>>><i> What append if we decide not to make the step on our machine ? +</I>>><i> Will it still be possible to update ? to package ? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> filesystem rpm won't install anymore so you won't be able to update your +</I>><i> cauldron anymore +</I> + +Yes exactly. + +This is a necessary step to continue using Cauldron really. It's also +something that will need to be done in the mga2 -> mga3 upgrade although +I will ensure that a nice packaged solution exits for users doing this +change so as to be a bit more user friendly. + +Col + + +-- + +Colin Guthrie +colin(at)mageia.org +<A HREF="http://colin.guthr.ie/">http://colin.guthr.ie/</A> + +Day Job: + Tribalogic Limited <A HREF="http://www.tribalogic.net/">http://www.tribalogic.net/</A> +Open Source: + Mageia Contributor <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/">http://www.mageia.org/</A> + PulseAudio Hacker <A HREF="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</A> + Trac Hacker <A HREF="http://trac.edgewall.org/">http://trac.edgewall.org/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="017554.html">[Mageia-dev] ANNOUNCE: The /usr move cometh! <---- Instructions +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="017556.html">[Mageia-dev] ANNOUNCE: The /usr move cometh! <---- Instructions +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#17555">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#17555">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#17555">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#17555">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
