Package: casper
Version: 1.340.2
Effect:
filesystem.squashfs cannot be mounted during boot. The system is packed
in iso-image file of type "udf".
This error message is displayed:
"(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed:
invalid argument
can not mount /dev/loop0 (...) on //filesystem.squashfs"
Problem:
During start-up, the iso-image file will not be mounted properly.
The file system of the iso-image is "udf". The mount operation is
performed with type "iso9660" instead "udf".
Reason:
The file system of the iso-image is determined with "fstype", located in
/usr/lib/klibc/bin.
Unfortunately, fstype cannot distinguish between iso9660 and udf. The
type "iso9660" is always reported, also if "udf" is the correct file type.
This leads to a wrong mount command.
The iso-image file will be mounted, but all files which are larger
then 4 GB within the image file, cannot be read correctly.
Proposal for solution:
Changes within "/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-helpers":
If fstype detect an iso9660 file type, an additional check is necessary
to distinguish, if it is udf or iso9660.
For this, add following four source lines (marked with "added by.."):
--- /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-helpers ------------------
... snip ...
get_fstype() {
local FSTYPE
local FSSIZE
eval $(fstype < $1)
# added: fstype cannot detect file system of type "udf"
if [ "$FSTYPE" == "iso9660" ]; then # added
/sbin/blkid -s TYPE -o value $1 2>/dev/null # added
return 0 # added
fi # added
if [ "$FSTYPE" != "unknown" ]; then
echo $FSTYPE
return 0
fi
/sbin/blkid -s TYPE -o value $1 2>/dev/null
}
... snip ...
