Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.110.2-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm using compressed .tgz images with the 'fetch' option, my image is
140MB long when compressed and 405MB when uncompressed. The script
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live fails booting because it only
allocates 150MB of memory for the image instead of 405MB.
Here's what happens exactly :
Begin: Copying live media to ram ...
+ copy_live_to /live/image ram
+ copyfrom=/live/image
+ copytodev=ram
+ copyto=/live/image_swap
+ [ -z ]
+ fs_size /live/image used
+ dev=
+ mountp=/live/image
+ used=used
+ [ -z /live/image ]
+ [ used = used ]
+ du -ks /live/image
+ cut -f1
+ size=142856
+ expr 142856 + 142856 / 20
+ size=149998
+ [ -n ]
+ echo 149998
+ size=149998
^^^^^^^^^^^
+ [ ram = ram ]
+ awk /MemFree/{print $2} /proc/meminfo
+ cat /proc/meminfo
+ grep Cached
+ awk /Cached/{print $2} -
+ head -n 1
+ expr 12018460 + 164728
+ freespace=12183188
+ mount_options=-o size=149998k
+ free_string=memory
+ fstype=tmpfs
+ dev=/dev/shm
+ [ 12183188 -lt 149998 ]
+ mkdir /live/image_swap
+ echo mount -t tmpfs -o size=149998k /dev/shm /live/image_swap
mount -t tmpfs -o size=149998k /dev/shm /live/image_swap
+ mount -t tmpfs -o size=149998k /dev/shm /live/image_swap
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ [ tgz = tgz ]
+ cd /live/image_swap
+ basename http://10.0.0.42/tmp/filesystem.tgz
+ tar zxf /live/image/live/filesystem.tgz
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
tar: Write Error: No space left on device

I've hackily fixed this by locally commenting the line 564 of
scripts/live, which is:
mount_options="-o size=${size}k"
but we need a better fix :)
