From cc0e575a94a4e22a0bf2bf1b0c7b0514f1c1fbb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ludovic Courtès Date: Sun, 20 Sep 2015 21:44:39 +0200 Subject: linux-boot: Mount /dev as a devtmpfs from the start. Suggested by Petter and Mark H Weaver . Reported by Duncan Keall . Partly fixes by populating /dev/mapper early enough. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (mount-essential-file-systems): Mount /dev as a devtmpfs. (move-essential-file-systems): Add /dev. (mount-root-file-system): Mount /rw-root/dev as a devtmpfs instead of calling 'make-essential-device-nodes'. (boot-system): Remove call to 'make-essential-device-nodes'. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (%devtmpfs-file-system): Remove. * doc/guix.texi (File Systems): Adjust accordingly. --- gnu/build/linux-boot.scm | 20 +++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) (limited to 'gnu/build') diff --git a/gnu/build/linux-boot.scm b/gnu/build/linux-boot.scm index 3081a93a97..30d6570b04 100644 --- a/gnu/build/linux-boot.scm +++ b/gnu/build/linux-boot.scm @@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ ;;; Code: (define* (mount-essential-file-systems #:key (root "/")) - "Mount /proc and /sys under ROOT." + "Mount /dev, /proc, and /sys under ROOT."
