I started the grml 2008.11 ISO image in a virtual machine (VirtualBox 2.1.12 on OSX 10.5), which had a 5 GB hard disk. I partitioned the hard disk, and labelled one partition GRMLCFG (obviously after formatting it ;-) ). After restarting I mounted the image, and used
save-config -all
to created a file called config.tbz on that partition.
It seems to me that when booting something from that partition is copied (long list of files), but neither the language setting nor the network settings are restored. Is this normal? Should those settings be stored, or are they excluded? As far as I understood the docu the whole /etc should be saved.
This is a known limitation because GRMLCFG is used too late in the bootprocess for some stuff like language settings. I forwarded this issues to our bug tracking system:
http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue628 http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue629
During saving the config, I get errors the first time I run save-config, saying that file xyz changed during reading. Disappears the second time you run save-config.
Thanks for reporting. GNU tar sucks BTW. ;) Anyway, should be fixed with grml-saveconfig version >=0.2.7.
P.S.: If this message appears twice, then posting via gmane *does* work...
Yeah it does :)
