[Voyage-linux] Bug reports

[Stanislav Sinyagin]

hi Kim-man,

unfortunately I've already set up my two alix'es for production, and I don't have a spare CF card, so experiments would be difficult. Also timing  is quite tight.

With the kernel 3.2.x, "vmstat 1" was running for few seconds, and then went off with "floating point error". If some user process is running and consuming some CPU, vmstat was running without problem. So, it looks like a division by zero or something like that.

for the cloning -- I was trying to clone an ALIX board into an USB-attached CF card, with the idea to use it in another ALIX. It duidn't go well, so I just went the usual installation path. 

I used "voyage.update" script with "/" as source distribution path. When CF was mounted in /tmp/cf, it even finished successfully, but CF was not bootable.

If you mount CF on another location, then it's recursively copied onto CF until it gets full:

>> It has a line like:
>> exclude="--exclude /tmp/cf ...
>> thus it ignores the user-chosen mountpoint, as /tmp/cf is hardcoded in the script.

>> Also something went wrong with grub when I tried to clone the system with the voyage.update and CF mounted in /tmp/cf. The system was not bootable after the installation.
>What is your host that clones the system, clone itself to another CF?
