Format: 1.8 Date: Mon, 04 May 2009 08:23:02 -0700 Source: partman-target Binary: partman-target Architecture: all i386_translations Version: 59ubuntu1 Distribution: karmic Urgency: low Maintainer: Ubuntu/i386 Build Daemon Changed-By: Steve Langasek Description: partman-target - Provides partman with ability to prepare /target (udeb) Changes: partman-target (59ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low . * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes: - Use UUID= fstab syntax for all partitions if a UUID is available, and add a comment above each UUID to indicate the corresponding device at install time. - Disable automatic mounting of USB removable devices. - Don't use UUIDs in fstab for those device types that volumeid.postinst refuses to convert. - Mount CD-ROMs and floppies with 'exec'. - Use the path of the file associated with a loop device in /etc/fstab, rather than the filesystem's UUID or the loop device path. - Always set the loop option for loop devices. - Remove critical system files from the existing filesystem before installing. - Preserve the UID and GID of the initial user, if possible. Requires a patch to user-setup. - Mount CD-ROMs and floppies with the "utf8" option by default. - Check that /media is on the root file system, since the installer relies on being able to mount things like /media/cdrom during installation. - Expand comment above each UUID-mounted partition, based on a suggestion by Daniel Pocock in Debian #509378. - Add a note about 'vol_id --uuid' to the top of /etc/fstab. - Fix disk_containing function to use its argument rather than relying on $dev. - Fix use of udevinfo rather than udevadm info when checking if a disk is USB. - Escape spaces, tabs, newlines, and backslashes in fstab according to the procedure described in getmntent(3). - Issue an error message if two file systems are assigned the same label. - Improve fstab comments for partitions without mount points (e.g. swap). - Rather than pretending that partitions have no longer been formatted after the partitioner is complete, reset their intended state from "format the partition" to "keep and use the existing data". This still solves the original problem reported in Debian bug #256090 while also stopping partitions from being needlessly reformatted if you go back to the partitioner after base system installation and then forward again. - Don't clear partitions or complain about them not being formatted if they've already been formatted by a previous partitioner run. - Introduce partman/mount_style (choices: traditional, label, uuid) to allow controlling how filesystems are mounted. Default this to uuid.
