Package: dracut-network Version: 020-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am using dracut because I make automatic debian installation through FAI (fai-server). FAI generates a minimal debian (debootstrap), exported via NFS for PXE booting. FAI wants this scenario : NFS read-only + writable tmpfs + AUFS When I boot a physicial or a virtual machine with PXE, the debian correctly boots, but I have : # ls -ld / drwxrwxrwt 32 root root 260 Feb 3 17:53 / The AUFS mont is done by dracut between a 0755 NFS mount point and a 1777 tmpfs. The resulting merged filesystem keeps 1777. This is not usual nor safe for a root. I expect 0755 for my root. This cause some proprietary MegaRAID cli to complain because it checks if any path component is writable on the path of an important file and the first test : "is / writable" ? yes. FAI does not seem to change default config values in dracut for this aspects. I have successfully circumvent this problem by altering the tmpfs creation : --- ./usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90aufs/aufs-mount.sh 2012-11-08 14:54:14.000000000 +0100 +++ ./usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90aufs/aufs-mount.sh.new 2014-02-03 18:33:35.827657399 +0100 @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ mount --move $NEWROOT /live/image mkdir /cow -mount -n -t tmpfs tmpfs /cow +mount -n -t tmpfs -o mode=0755 tmpfs /cow mount -t aufs -o noatime,noxino,dirs=/cow=rw:/live/image=rr aufs $NEWROOT But I'm not sure that this is the right place to do that.
