Package: cdebootstrap Version: 0.5.10 X-Debbugs-CC: h...@guardianproject.info
Me and Hans-Christoph are working on project Lil'Debi[1] which runs Debian OS on Android. We are using cdebootstrap-static to get the Debian rootfs. We want to add feature which allows the user to install the Debian inside the /data partition. I observed that the /data partition in Android are mounted with nodev parameter. And when we run cdebootstrap on such partition we get "Target disallows device special files" error. But I observed that I can create the /data/debian/dev/console device using mknod. using: mknod /data/debian/dev/console b 5 1 For testing, I build the cdebootstrap package from source without the check of 'ST_NODEV' and it worked for me. So it the check of ST_NODEV relevant? If its necessary can we have some new option like --no-dev in cdebootstrap next release? We plan to support all the kernel from 2.6. We already had some discussion with waldi on #debian-devel. We are ready to provide more information if needed. [1] github.com/guardianproject/lildebi
