ram boot method fails #16
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a CentOS 6 x86_64 chroot
2. Install nfsroot
3. Attempt to boot using method ram
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see nfsroot boot succesfully. Instead the init process fails with
"copy failed, giving up - please fix the world and reboot me".
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
nfsroot-3.17-1.x86_64.rpm with CentOS 6 x86_64
Please provide any additional information below.
This appears to be because rc.nfsroot-ram is rsyncing all of / without
excluding /proc and /sys, and rsync is returning a non-zero exit code (errors
while attempting to copy these files). Excluding the rsync of /proc and /sys,
and mounting /proc and /sys under /writeable instead seem to resolve this
issue. Attached is a patch for this issue, though you may want to tweak it.
