## Re: No ISO image

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.

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:
  `# 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:
  `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

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 even double-checked myfs and the config is correct there

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:
  `+ 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:
  `/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...

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.
