Local Functions

local activated -> list <map <symbol, string> >

List of mounted partitions, activated swap partitions and loop devices. Amongst other things used for reversing action if mode is changed from update to new installation or if root partition for update is changed. The order of the list if of paramount importance.

Each item is list [string value, string type [, string device]] where:

Keys/values are:

`type The type, one of "mount", "swap" or "loop".

`device The device.

local sdb -> string

Link to SDB article concerning renaming of devices.

global GetInfoOfSelected (symbol what) -> string

Get the key what of the selected root partition.

Parameters:
what

local MakeNiceName (string longname) -> string

Make a nice name for a system out of the long name.

Parameters:
longname

local GetRelease () -> string

Read release information.

global SetSelectedToValid () -> void

Set the selected root partition to some valid one. Only make sense if the number of valid root partition is one.

local AddToTargetMap () -> void

local RemoveFromTargetMap () -> void

global UnmountPartitions (boolean keep_in_target) -> void

Unmount all mounted partitions, deactivate swaps, detach loopback devices. Uses list activated to make actions in reverse order.

Parameters:
keep_in_target

local AddMountedPartition (map <symbol, string> partinfo) -> void

Add information about mounted partition to internal list.

Parameters:
partinfo partinfo has to be list with exactly two strings, see description of list "activated"

local FSCKPartition (string partition) -> void

Check the filesystem of a partition.

Parameters:
partition

local fsck_and_mount (string mount_point, string device, string mount_type) -> boolean

Parameters:
mount_point
device
mount_type

local check_root_device (string partition, list <map> fstab, string& found_partition) -> boolean

Check that the root filesystem in fstab has the correct device.

Parameters:
partition
fstab
found_partition

global GetProductName () -> boolean

local TranslateFSTab (list <map> fstab) -> list <map>

Parameters:
fstab

local read_fstab_and_cryptotab (list <map>& fstab, list <map>& crtab) -> boolean

Parameters:
fstab
crtab

local PrepareCryptoTab (list <map> crtab, list <map>& fstab) -> boolean

Parameters:
crtab
fstab

local var_is_mounted () -> boolean

local MountFSTab (list <map> fstab, string& message) -> boolean

Parameters:
fstab
message

local mount_var_if_required (list <map> fstab, string root_device_current, string& message) -> boolean

Parameters:
fstab
root_device_current
message

global MountPartitions (string root_device_current) -> boolean

Mounting root-partition; reading fstab and mounting read partitions

Parameters:
root_device_current

local GetArchOfELF (string filename) -> string

Get architecture of an elf file.

Parameters:
filename

local CheckPartition (map partition) -> map

Check a root partition and return map with infomations (see variable rootPartitions).

Parameters:
partition

global FindRootPartitions () -> void

Find all valid root partitions and place the result in rootPartitions. The partitions are mounted and unmounted again (to Installation::destdir). Loads a bunch of kernel modules.
