From aed4799d6d05d89dbca1bd5f14cc3d09ac563f3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Lamparter Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2018 11:55:15 +0200 Subject: apm821xx: build squashfs-rootfs images for the MBL This patch adds support for squashfs as the root filesystem. advantages: - migrate from a existing -ext4 installation and back with the sysupgrade utility - existing partition layout will not be lost during switch - slightly smaller image size as compared to the -ext4 image. disadvantages: - needs f2fs + tools. This is because fstools rootdisk.c decides based on the partition size (currently root partitions > 100 MiB) f2fs is used as the rootfs_data filesystem. - rootfs_data is placed into the rootfs partition after the squashfs. This makes it difficult for tools that expect a /dev/sda${X} device. It also makes it difficult for data recovery tools as they might not expect to find a embedded partition or will be slightly confused. ... or will not support f2fs. For people with existing build configurations: make sure to include mkf2fs and f2fsck packages into the image. Otherwise the new -squashfs image will only boot from the ram-overlay. Note: All overlay data (configurations/all installed packages/...) will be placed in inside the rootfs partition (i.e. /dev/sda2) just after the squashfs image.
