Hi again,
The unionfs-module is *not* part of the kernel itself, it's a module (unionfs.ko) located in /modules/ of initrd.
ok, I updated the kernel to the grml-small kernel and only had a look at the modules under /lib/modules... I apparently did not notice the /modules directory. Why do you put these modules separately from the others?
Because the modules are handled different, and it does not matter at all - all relevant code is in /linuxrc and handled by our own. Do *not* mix userspace and initrd parts!
yes, the /linuxrc was the first I saw and where I added the http download of the stage2 image file.
But I did not yet find the unionfs modules for the grml-small kernel, only for the "big" grml kernel.
Take a look at the initrd file minirt26.gz (/modules/unionfs.ko), seems you are looking at the wrong place (initrd vs. userspace).
Maybe, I used the netboot package for 0.8 and made my changes, now as you say it I should had had a look at the originial initrd too.
BTW: what tools do you guys prefer to clone partitions (windows and linux installations in an education network) partimage seemed to be quite unstable on my last tests.
Please be more verbose on the "unstable" for partimage. What kind of problems did you consider?
Well, like the server crashes as soon as a second client tries to connect it for example. I'm currently trying to find out why and if the newer beta has the same trouble (but I think so, I already had similar issues before I started with grml-small).
Ah, and another point: "apt-cache show grml-etc-core" says: Depends: vim | nvi, zsh
Why not "Depends: editor, zsh"? This way I cannot replace nvi by vim-tiny without breaking dependencies.
