[rhel7-branch 4/8] livemedia-creator: Add support for making tarfiles (#1144140)

Brian C. Lane bcl at redhat.com
Tue Sep 23 00:28:39 UTC 2014


This adds the --make-tar option which will produce a xz compressed tar
of the root filesystem. This works with either virt-install or no-virt
modes. Use --image-name to set the output filename.

--compression is used to set the compression type to use, which defaults
to xz. Supported types are xz, lzma, gzip and bzip2.

--compress-arg is used to pass arguments to the compression utility.

(cherry picked from commit d04a99e8f47b0615a9eb7569988508bcbfae9671)

Resolves: rhbz#1144140

+TAR FILE CREATION
+-----------------
+The --make-tar command can be used to create a tar of the root filesystem. By
+default it is compressed using xz, but this can be changed using the
+--compression and --compress-arg options. This option works with both virt and
+--no-virt install methods.
+
+As with --make-fsimage the kickstart should be limited to a single / partition.
+
+eg.
+
+livemedia-creator --make-tar --iso=/path/to/boot.iso --ks=./docs/fedora-minimal.ks \
+--image-name=fedora-root.tar.xz
