dont_check_disk_size do nothing.

The dont_check_disk_size option do nothing.

The right boot option should be revonospc=1 and not only revonospc.

[jerome.bricchi@…]

Testing revonospc=1 on a computer with a 40GB hdd a master size of 4GB compressed and ~8GB space used after a restoration.

Restoring start, but an error occur just at the end :

HD Write error Hard Disk Write Error ! Bad or too small hard disk ! errno 28 (no space left on device) file autorestore.c, line 416 bs=4096 offset=00000009502f9000 (38146 MiB)

Should I report in a new ticket ?

Hi !

thanks for the report, as I had to do some work in the client part during the next days, will see this.

About "HD Write error Hard Disk Write Error" : don't bother opening a ticket, it meens you tried to restore a partition on a disk smaller than the original (perhaps only a few blocks shorter). Sorry, this is a direct consequence of using "revonospc=1" :D

Regards,

Nicolas.

Nicolas, do you plan a fix for the imaging client to use "revonospc" ? Or can I just fix the menu generation so that it writes "revonospc=1" instead of "revonospc" into the menu file ? Thanks.

To ensure LRS compatibility, "revonospc" must be used.

However, quoting the revoboot code :

revoboot:154:    grep -q revonospc /etc/cmdline && OPTS="--nospc $OPTS"

So I'm afraid the is no bug here.

@jerome : did some tests, was not able to reproduce the issue; can you try again with the latest initrd from the trunk ?

Regards,

Nicolas.
