Fedora 21/rawhide notes

Install MLO and u-boot on non-vfat image: WARNING: BETA NOTES


sudo dd if=MLO           \
        of=/dev/sdz      \
      conv=fsync,notrunc \
      seek=128k

sudo dd if=u-boot.img    \
        of=/dev/sdz      \
     count=2             \
      seek=1             \

F20 notes

download the f20 minimal image

wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/20/Images/armhfp/Fedora-Minimal-VFAT-armhfp-20-1-sda.raw.xz

Decompress

unxz -v Fedora-Minimal-VFAT-armhfp-20-1-sda.raw.xz

Map the partitions

kpartx -avp _fedora_  Fedora-Minimal-VFAT-armhfp-20-1-sda.raw

Extract the rootfs

dd if=/dev/mapper/loop0_fedora_3 \
   of=f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4    \
 conv=fsync

Shrink the rootfs image file

e2fsck    -f  f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4 &> /dev/null
resize2fs -M  f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4

Create a new f20 disk image file

truncate -s 4G f20-minimal.disk

Partition the newly created disk image

parted -a optimal --script -- f20-minimal.disk unit MiB mklabel msdos mkpart primary 4 24  mkpart primary 24 152 mkpart primary 152 1552 print

Map the partitions to loop devices

kpartx -avp _remix_ f20-minimal.disk

Format the partitions accordingly to the output of the previous kpartx cmd.

mkfs.vfat -n uboot -F 16              /dev/mapper/loop0_remix_1

mkswap -L swap -U $(uuidgen)          /dev/mapper/loop0_remix_2

#mkfs.ext4 -L rootfs -U $(uuidgen) -m0 /dev/mapper/loop0_remix_3

Copy the Fedora-20 minimal rootfs to the appropriate partition

dd if=f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4   \
   of=/dev/mapper/loop0_remix_3 \
   bs=4M conv=fsync

Unmap the partition loops devs

kpartx -dvp _remix_ f20-minimal.disk

Tips & Tricks

You can monitor the DD command in an easy one liner.

dd if=/dev/sdc3 of=f20-minimal-rootfs.ext4-ORIG &   while ps -p $! ; do kill -USR1 $! ; sleep 5 ; done

This signals the DD process to spew progress info every five seconds. Especially useful on very slow sdcard, or large data transfers.
