Just saw this from the 4.2.6 Kernel Configuration:

CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS=m

But I added "union=overlay" to the boot-menu for one of my attempts and it still failed.
May the FORK be with you!

You need live-* packages from sid/ceres to use overlay. Or else we need to find or make you a 4.x kernel with aufs support.

Last night I created an image with this in the config:
Code: Select all
# kernel_image="/vmlinuz"
# initrd_image="/initrd.img"
kernel_image="/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-686-pae"
initrd_image="/boot/initrd.img-3.16.0-4-686-pae"

And it's still hanging at:
Code: Select all
modprobe: module ehci-orion not found in modules.dep
random: nonblocking pool is initialized

I was really disappointed . . .
I even double-checked myfs and the config is correct there
May the FORK be with you!

Did you edit the boot menu to point to the right kernel and initrd? For /home/work/myfs/boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-686-pae, the kernel line of the boot menu should have /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.9-4-686-pae. Hit TAB at the boot menu to check it. If it's not right, edit it right there to test the change. If you made a live-usb with refracta2usb, you can just plug the stick into a running system, mount the first parttion and edit /syslinux/live.cfg.

I made the change in / etc/ refractasnapshot.conf.

And as stated above:

I'll have a look later today. Will be busy until mid-aft.

Sorry, I have been busy, and havn't got back to this.

Here is a pastebin of the space used. http://pastebin.com/yjYVNAtq

Here is my error log. http://pastebin.com/rkwZqLw6

Using kernel 3.16.0-4-amd

md5 file seems fine; used sudo refractasnapshot -d to run the program.

Still getting a small 36 kb iso.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Starting at line 856 of the error log
Code: Select all
+ mksquashfs myfs/ iso/live/filesystem.squashfs

Write failed because No space left on device

FATAL ERROR:Failed to write to output filesystem


You need more hard drive space.
Code: Select all
/dev/dm-0                     4.0G  3.4G  349M  91% /
/dev/mapper/debian8--vg-home  4.3G  1.6G  2.4G  41% /home
If your system is taking up 3.4G plus whatever from /home and /var and /boot gets added to it, you could do it with an 8G usb stick to use for the work directory. Or another partition, if you've got it. Format the stick as ext2.

You can set the work_dir in the config file. Mount the usb stick or partition, and adjust the path in the config file accordingly. Make sure to mount it under /mnt or /media, so it will be excluded from the copy.

Also, if your system is encrypted...
CREATING A SNAPSHOT FROM AN ENCRYPTED SYSTEM

- Run /usr/lib/refractasnapshot/nocrypt.sh as unprivileged user from
your home directory.
- Set edit_boot_menu to "yes" in (/)etc/refractasnapshot.conf
- Run refractsnapshot or refractasnapshot-gui. When the program pauses
for you to edit the boot menu, copy the initrd.nocrypt.img that you made
to /home/work/iso/live/ and make sure the boot entry points to the right
initrd. (either change the name to initrd.img to match the boot menu
or change the entries in the boot menu to point to initrd.nocrypt.img)

I increased my partion size as seen in the screenshot, however my home folder still has only 4.5g of space, so refractasnapshot isn't working. How do I increase my home folder size? Does this have anything to do with running a virtual machine?

I created a new partition and got a 1.7gb file. Now just to see if it works.

I can't see the screenshot, even after allowing javascript globally. Maybe you need to be logged into facebook to see it? That's not happening.

For refracta, which is not a huge installation, I used to allow 8GB for a virtual hard disk, but I've increased that to 12GB so I can make more snapshots before I have to move them or delete them. I just make a single partition.
