<div dir="ltr">Hi, all<div style>I'm confused about the progress of this function. Actually in its steps:</div><div style><br></div><div style><br></div><div><div> 1) Create a sparse COW</div><div> 2) Loopback mount the image and the COW</div>
<div> 3) Create a device-mapper snapshot of the image</div><div> using the COW</div><div> 4) Resize the filesystem to the minimal size</div><div> 5) Determine the amount of space used in the COW</div>
<div> 6) Restroy the device-mapper snapshot</div><div> 7) Truncate the COW, removing unused space</div><div> 8) Create a squashfs of the COW</div></div><div><br></div><div><br clear="all"><div style>why not resize2fs -M osmin.img directly?</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>In document <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image</a>, </div><div style>it said"osmin.img is a minimized OS image which is used to aid traditional installation from a LiveOS image source to a hard disk.", but how does this lvm snapshot help with installation to disk?</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Is "os.fturncate this file(snapshot file <i>osmin</i>)" dangerously?</div><div style><br></div><div style>Thanks</div><div style>-- </div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#444444">Gareth</font><div>
