SYNOPSIS
========

/etc/bootcd/bootcd2disk.conf

DESCRIPTION
===========

**bootcd2disk.conf** is a configuration file used by **bootcd2disk**.

The default **/etc/bootcd/bootcd2disk.conf** is also
available in directory **/usr/share/doc/bootcd/examples/**.
The default can be used, when running from an iso image
created by **bootcdwrite**, to reinstall the first disk.

**bootcd2disk.conf** will be sourced as shell file.
The following **OPTIONS** can be used. They are ordered alphabetical.

OPTIONS
=======

**after_copy()**

  If the function is defined, it will run after the
  system has been copied to the target system and while
  the target system is still mounted at *COPYDEST*.

  For example to change the network configuration the
  following script could be defined::

    after_copy()
    {
      cat <<EOF >$COPYDEST/etc/network/interfaces
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.1.2
      netmaks 255.255.255.0
      gateway 192.168.1.1
    EOF
    }

  Default::

    # the function is not defined
    unset -f after_copy

**bootcd_mount()**

  The function will be called with the "mountpoint directory" as option.
  To use Partiton 1 of the first disk as /boot and partiton 3 of the
  first disk as / the function could be defined as::

    bootcd_mount()
    {
      local mountpoint
      bootcd_global DISK0P1 DISK0P3

      mountpoint="$1"
      mount $DISK0P3 $mountpoint
      mkdir $mountpoint/boot
      mount $DISK0P1 $mountpoint/boot
    }

  Default::

    # the function is not defined
    unset -f bootcd_mount

**bootcd_umount()**

  The function will be called with the "mountpoint directory" as option.
  If / and /boot are mounted, the function could be defined as::

    bootcd_umount()
    {
      local mountpoint

      mountpoint="$1"
      umount $mountpoint/boot
      umount $mountpoint"
   }

  Default::

    # the function is not defined
    unset -f bootcd_umount

**BOOTCDMP**

  This defines the mountpoint, where filesystems can be mounted
  to be temporarily modified by bootcd2disk.

  Default::

    BOOTCDMP="/mnt/bootcd.disc"

**COPYDEST**

  This points to the mounted disk and normally needs not to be changed.
  Default::

    COPYDEST="/mnt/bootcd.disc"

**DISK#**

  **DISK#** stands for one of **DISK0**, **DISK1**, ... **DISK99**.
  The Variables **DISK#** can be defined to specify the disks
  disk that will be newly partitioned before copying the cd to it::

    DISK0="/dev/hda"

  To not partition any disk::

    DISK0=""

  To let bootcd2disk find a disk (bootcd2disk tries to use the first disk)::

    DISK0="auto"

  It is possible to define more disks. The disk number must be increased by 1::

    DISK1="auto"
    DISK2="auto"

  Default::

    DISK0="auto"

**DISKIDTYP**

  With the variable **DISKIDTYP** it can be defined which type of name bootcd
  should write in config files.
  When naming a disk in a file, bootcd2disk can try to name the disk by UUID::

    DISKIDTYP="UUID"

  Or bootcd can name the disk by the devicename::

    DISKIDTYP="DEVNAME"

  Default::

    DISKIDTYP="UUID"


**do_first()**

  A function **do_first()** can be defined, to
  do some things first before doing anything else.
  Example of a function, that prints something::

    do_first()
    {
      info "function do_first is now running"
    }

  Default::

    # make sure the function is not defined
    unset -f do_first


**do_last()**

  A function **do_last()** can be defined, to
  do some things laster after doing anything else.
  Example of a function, that prints something::

    do_last()
    {
      info "function do_last is now running"
    }

  Default::

    # make sure the function is not defined
    unset -f do_last


**EFIBOOT**

  Create a disk that can boot with old BIOS::

    EFIBOOT="bios"

  Create a disk that can boot with EFI.
  Will work with secureboot enabled, if kernel and grub are
  signed or original from debian.::

    EFIBOOT="efi"

  To check current system. If EFI is enabled use "efi" if not use "bios".
  The needed bootloader software for this option is probably aready installed::

    EFIBOOT="auto"

  Create a disk that can boot from BIOS and EFI. If you have installed
  grub-pc-bin and grub-efi-amd64-bin this may be the best option.
  The disk may be removed, and used on another host, with
  either bios or efi::

    EFIBOOT="bios+efi"

  Default::

    EFIBOOT="auto"

**EXCLUDE_SYSTEM**

  This files need to be excluded on most systems.
  So the default may be ok in most cases.
  Additional files to be excluded can be defined in **EXCLUDE**

  Default::

    EXCLUDE_SYSTEM="/dev/ /mnt/ /proc/ /run/ /sys/ /tmp/ /var/tmp/"

**EXCLUDE**

  This variable can also contain special characters. See **EVALVARS**.

  Some files are already exluded with **EXCLUDE_SYSTEM**.
  With **EXCLUDE** additional Files can be excluded.
  Directories or files that should not be copied can be defined in this
  variable as a space separated list. Each entry should start with **/**.

  Each list item will be given to rsync as *--exclude <item>*.

  Example: To exlcude everything in directory **/etc/dir1** use::

    EXCLUDE="/etc/dir1/"

  To exclude directory itself use::

    EXCLUDE="/etc/dir1"

  Default::

    EXCLUDE=""

**EXT2FS**

  Each device or logical volume definition needs a new line!.
  Do not not create ext2 filesystems::

    EXT2FS=""

  Create partitions defined in EXT2FS with mke2fs::

    EXT2FS="/dev/hda1
    /dev/hda3"

  Default::

    EXT2FS=""

  if also EXT3FS="auto" then ext3 will be used if possible

**EXT3FS**

  Each device or logical volume definition needs a new line!
  Do not not create ext3 filesystems::

    EXT3FS=""

  Create partitions defined in EXT3FS with mke2fs -j::

    EXT3FS="/dev/hda1
    /dev/hda3"

  Default::

    EXT3FS=""

  if also EXT4FS="auto" then ext4 will be used if possible

**EXT4FS**

  Each device or logical volume definition needs a new line!
  Do not not create ext4 filesystems::

    EXT4FS=""

  Create partitions defined in EXT4FS as ext4 filesystems::

    EXT4FS="/dev/hda1
    /dev/hda3"

  Default::

    EXT4FS=""

**FSTAB**

  Don't change the /etc/fstab copied form cd::

    FSTAB=""

  Example to define FSTAB yourself::

    FSTAB="/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda2 none  swap sw 0 0
    /dev/sda3 /     ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
    proc      /proc proc defaults 0 0"

  The string **DISK0P1** will be automatically changed to <device of the first
  partition of the first disk>. The string **UUID!DISK1P3** will be automacally
  changed to the UUID of the third partition of the second disk>.

  Depends on::

    EFIBOOT

  Default::

    FSTAB=""

**GRUB**

  If you don't want to use GRUB::

    GRUB=""

  If GRUB2 is not installed or defined and GRUB is defined and grub is
  installed it will be used and LILO will be ignored.

  If you want to define it yourself::

    GRUB="default 0
    timeout 5
    color   cyan/blue white/blue
    title   Debian GNU/Linux
    root    (hd0,0)
    kernel  /vmlinuz-2.4.27-2-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro
    initrd  /initrd.img-2.4.27-2-386
    savedefault
    boot"

  Default::

    GRUB=""

**GRUB2**

  This variable defines if GRUB2 will be used and
  how the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg is created.
  If GRUB2 and GRUB and LILO is defined and installed, GRUB2 will be used

  If you don't want to use GRUB2::

    GRUB2=""

  GRUB2 can also define the content of /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
  Grub2 starts counting partitions at 1 and grub1 starts at 0.
  Example::

    GRUB2="
    set lang=en
    insmod gettext
    set timeout=5
    set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue
    set menu_color_highlight=white/blue

    menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
         insmod ext2
         set root='(hd0,1)'
         linux   /$(basename $KERNEL) root=DISK0P3 ro
         initrd  /$(basename $INITRD)
    }"

  If GRUB2 is auto, update-grub will be used to create /boot/grub/grub.cfg automatically.
  Default::

    GRUB2="auto"

**GRUBBOOTDIR**

  Example::

    GRUBBOOTDIR="0"

  Default::

    GRUBBOOTDIR=""

**GRUBBOOTDISK**

  If /boot is not the first partition on disk, we need to know which
  one it is to install grub properly.
  bootcd starts counting with 0 like grub1 !
  Example::

    GRUBBOOTDISK="hd0"

  Default::

    GRUBBOOTDISK=""

**GRUBDEVICEMAP**

  Syntax::

    GRUBDEVICEMAP=auto|no|<value>

  Let bootcd2disk delete the original device.map, so that it will be
  auto-created by grub again.::

    GRUBDEVICEMAP="auto"

  bootcd2disk shoult not change device.map.
  This should work if a bootcd is installed on the original hardware::

    GRUBDEVICEMAP="no"

  Everything else will be used as new value for device.map.
  Default::

    GRUBDEVICEMAP="auto"

**GRUB_INSTALL_OPTS_BIOS**

  If **bootcd2disk** makes a disk bootable from bios with the command **grub-install**,
  it uses always the same basic default options, that can be changed with this option.

  Default::

     GRUB_INSTALL_OPTS_BIOS="--target=i386-pc --recheck --no-floppy --force"

**GRUB_INSTALL_OPTS_EFI**

  If **bootcd2disk** makes a disk bootable from efi with the command **grub-install**,
  it uses always the same basic default options, that can be changed with this option.
  The option **--removable** will be added by **bootcd2disk** if needed.

  If the newly created disk will not be moved away **--no-nvram** may be omitted.

  Default::

    GRUB_INSTALL_OPTS_EFI="--target=x86_64-efi --recheck --no-floppy --force --no-nvram"

**IMAGEURL**

  If bootcd2disk is slow on your system (because of a slow CD/DVD drive or
  the HP ILO virtual CD interface), you can use a image server to get the
  image from.
  bootcd2disk use the SWAP partition of your upcoming system as temporary
  space and copy the image from the configured image server (IMAGEURL or
  cmdline -url) to this partition and use it as image.
  Please use a ip because of failed DNS and you need also the configured ip interface.
  The "url" is used with "wget" so all url from wget are possible. Example::

   IMAGEURL="http://192.168.100.10/cdimage.iso"

  Default::

    IMAGEURL=""

**ISOLOOPBACK**

  Normally the System is running from **bootcd**, when **bootcd2disk** is called.
  Then files under **/** are copied to the new disk.
  But it may be faster to additionally mount the **bootcd** to another mountpoint
  and copy from there. This mountpoint can then be defined with **ISOLOOPBACK**

  Default::

    ISOLOOPBACK=""

**LILO**

  If GRUB is defined and installed LILO will be ignored.
  If you don't want to change the /etc/lilo.conf copied from cd::

    LILO=""

  If you want to define it yourself::

    LILO="boot=DISK0
    delay=20
    vga=0
    image=/vmlinuz
    root=DISK0P3
    initrd=/initrd.img
    label=Linux
    read-only"

  Default::

    LILO=""

**LINUXFS**

  This can be set to the preferred filesystem. Possible
  values are **ext4**, **ext3**, **ext2**, **xfs** or
  **auto** to calculate an an available filesystem.

  Default::

    LINUXFS="auto"

**LUKS**

  Each line should have the 4 values *target*, *source_device*, *key_file* and
  *options* as described in crypttab(5).

  Only the *options* **luks** and **swap** are supported.
  If **bootcd2disk** is running without controlling tty for password input, the
  default password **bootcd** will be set, that has to be changed manually later.

  Example with *target* root filesystem *luksroot* and *target* swap partition
  *luksswap*::

    LUKS="luksroot DISK0P1 none luks
    luksswap DISK0P2 /dev/urandom swap"

  Default::

    LUKS=""

**LVMGRP**

  Each volume group definition needs a new line. Syntax ::

    LVMGRP="<group> <diskdev> [<diskdev> ...][<vgcreate-cmd>][...]"

  Example1 ::

    LVMGRP="vg00 DISK0P1
    vg01 DISK0P2
    vg02 DISK0P3 DISK0P4"


  Example2 which is the same as Example1 because it uses the default schema ::

    LVMGRP="vg00 DISK0P1 vgcreate vg00 DISK0P1
    vg01 DISK0P2 vgcreate vg01 DISK0P2
    vg02 DISK0P3 vgcreate vg02 DISK0P3 DISK0P4"

  Default::

    LVMGRP=""

**LVMVOL**

  Each logical volume definition needs a new line!
  Size in vgcreate syntax is MByte, e.g.: 100 means 100 MByte.
  Syntax ::

    LVMVOL="<volname> <size> <group> [<lvcreate-cmd>][...]"

  Example1 ::

    LVMVOL="lv00 2000 vg00"


  Example2 which is the same as Example1 because it used the default schema ::

    LVMVOL="lv00 2000 vg00 lvcreate -n lv00 -L 2000 vg00"

  Example3 uses striping for the second volume ::

    LVMVOL="lv00 2000 vg00
    lv01 100 vg00 lvcreate -n lv01 -i 3 -I 8 -L 100 vg00"


  Default::

    LVMVOL=""

**MD**

  To define Raid devices. Not well tested. Not documented. Syntax ::

    MD="<mddev> <level> <diskdev> ... [<mdadm cmd>]"

  Example::

     MD="md0 1

  Default::

    MD=""

**ORDER**

  This defines the order of *tasks* neccessarry to produce disk partitions.
  The tasks available are *parti* *md* *luks* *lvm*.

  The task **parti** can be defined with the variable **SFDISK#**.
  The task **luks** can be defined with the variable **LUKS**.
  The task **md** can be defined with the variable **MD**.
  The task **lvm** can be defined with the variables **LVMGRP** and **LVMVOL**.
  Only if a task is defined, the *task* will be executed.

  It is possible to schedule a *task* multiple times in **ORDER**.
  If *task* **parti** is defined multiple times, the *task* will only be executed,
  if **DISK#** that corresponds to **SFDISK#** is available at *task*'s turn.
  If *task* **md** is defined multipe times, the task will only be executed,
  if *<diskdev>* defined in **MD** is available at *task*'s turn.
  If * task* **lvm** is defined multipe times, the task will only be executed,
  if *<diskdev>* defined in **LVMGRP** is available. at *task*'s turn.

  Default::

    ORDER="parti luks md lvm"

**PARTITIONLABEL**

  If you want the filesystem or swap partitions to have labels you can define
  them here. Example::

    PARTITIONLABEL="/dev/sda1:/
    /dev/sda2:SWAP-sda2"

  Default::

    PARTITIONLABEL=""

**RESUME**

  If you get the Warning "Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device"
  when booting from a disk created with bootcd2disk, this may help.
  It fixes the file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume by changing
  the RESUME option in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
  For example to define the RESUME device as **/dev/hda2** use::

    RESUME="/dev/hda2"

  To define the RESUME device with a Filesystem UUID::

    RESUME="UUID=86c6e572-eec4-4a29-8cbd-2864f4e44621"

  To not change the RESUME configuration, the variable has to be empty::

    RESUME=""

  To disable the RESUME Feature, RESUME has to be **none**::
  Default::

    RESUME="none"

**SFDISK#**

  **SFDISK#** stands for one of **SFDISK0**, **SFDISK1**, ... **SFDISK99**
  and defines how *sfdisk* will partition the **DISK#**.

  If a disk should not be repartitioned, no definition is needed.

  To partition *DISK2* the following config could be used, see man *sfdisk(8)*::

    SFDISK2="
    unit: sectors
    ,50
    ,100,S
    ;
    "

  See **SFDISK#** in default **bootcd2disk.conf** for an example that
  calculates **SFDISK0** depending on on **EFIBOOT**.

  The Default is to not repartition any disks.

**SSHHOSTKEY**

  Syntax::

    SSHHOSTKEY=yes|no

  If you are using ssh it is helpful to have a unique ssh hostkey for
  each PC installed with bootcd2disk. This will be generated with::

    SSHHOSTKEY="yes"

  Default::

    SSHHOSTKEY="yes"

**SWAP**

  Each swap device definition needs a new line!
  If you don't want to run mkswap use::

    SWAP=""

  If you want to specify partitions for mkswap::

    SWAP="/dev/hda2"

  Default::

    SWAP=""

**ALLOWEDDISKS**

  If a disk is searched (e.g. DISK0="auto") and ALLOWEDDISKS="", the first free
  disk found will be used.
  IF ALLOWEDDISKS is defined the first free disk listed in ALLOWEDDISKS will be used.

  To try only disks /dev/sda and /dev/hda in this order use::

    ALLOWEDDISKS="/dev/sda /dev/hda"

  This can also be used to only try individual disks, if they are connected::

    ALLOWEDDISKS="/dev/disk/by-id/<id1>
    /dev/disk/by-id/<id2>
    /dev/disk/by-id/<id3>"

  Default::

    ALLOWEDDISKS=""

**UDEV_FIXNET**

  Syntax::

    UDEV_FIXNET=yes|no

  If you are using udev filesystem and install the image on other machines
  you need to set this to "yes" because the network interfaces are hardwired
  in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules (etch) or in
  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (lenny) and we must remove them.::

    UDEV_FIXNET="yes"

  Default::

    UDEV_FIXNET="yes"

**VFAT**

  Each device or logical volume definition needs a new line!.
  VFAT is often needed for EFI. If not needed::

    VFAT=""

  To ceate partitions with mkdosfs::

    VFAT="/dev/sdb4"

  Default::

    VFAT=""

**XFS**

  Each device or logical volume definition needs a new line!
  Create partitions defined as xfs filesystems::

    XFS="/dev/hda1
    /dev/hda3"

  Do not not create xfs filesystems::
  Default::

    XFS=""

EVALVARS
========

  Most variables listed in chapter **OPTIONS** can't contain special
  characters.

  It is not recommended to use special characters anyway, but
  the variable **EXCLUDE**
  may contain blank ( ), dollar ($), backslash (\\), qoute (") and
  backquote (`). This variables are called **EVALVARS** in this manpage,
  because in shell script, the *eval* command can be used to easily read
  them.

  For example to define **EXCLUDE** with the files or directories
  "/etc/noblank", "/etc/blank name1" and "/etc/blank name2" the
  following config line would be possible::

    EXCLUDE="/etc/noblank \"/etc/blank name1\" /etc/blank\ name2"

  Because all variables have to be readable by shell with the *eval* command,
  the syntax can be checked. if the config line above is entered in a shell
  with the test commands::

    eval "set -- $EXCLUDE"
    echo "#=<$#> 1=<$1> 2=<$2> 3=<$3> 4=<$4>"

  should print out the result::

    #=<3> 1=</etc/noblank> 2=</etc/blank name1> 3=</etc/blank name2> 4=<>

ENVIRONMENT
===========

**ia_logfile**

  The logfile of *bootcd2disk* is */var/log/bootcd2disk*,
  if not overwriten with variable *ia_logfile* before.

Defining *OPTIONS*
==================

  There are *function OPTIONS*, *number OPTIONS* and *normal OPTIONS* that
  can be defined directly:

  Example: direct definition of *function OPTION* **do_first()**::

    do_first() { info "function do_first is now running"; }

  Example: direct definition of a *number OPTION* **DISK#**::

    DISK0="/dev/hda"; DISK2="auto"

  Example: direct definition of a *normal OPTION* **DISKIDTYP**::

    DISKIDTYP="UUID"

  If an *OPTION* can not be defined immediatelly, because it needs the
  definition of another *OPTION*, a function *define_OPTION* can be created,
  that calls the function *needs* with a string containing a space separated
  list of *OPTIONS* needed:

  Example: function **do_first** needs **DISKIDTYP**::

     define_do_first() {
       needs "DISKIDTYP"
       if [ "$DISKIDTYP" = "UUID" ]; then
         do_first() { info "DISKIDTYP = UUID"; }
       else
         do_first() { info "DISKIDTYP != UUID"; }
       fi
     }

  Example: *number OPTION* **SFDISK#** needs **DISKIDTYP**::

     define_SFDISK() {
       needs "DISKIDTYP"
       if [ "$DISKIDTYP" = "UUID" ]; then
         SFDISK0="..."
         SFDISK3="..."
       else
         SFDISK0="..."
         SFDISK3="..."
       fi
     }

  Example: *normal OPTION* **FSTAB** needs **DISKIDTYP**::

     define_FSTAB() {
       needs "DISKIDTYP"
       if [ "$DISKIDTYP" = "UUID" ]; then
         FSTAB="..."
       else
         FSTAB="..."
       fi
     }

Using partition-tokens
======================

  In some *OPTIONS* special *partition-tokens* can be used, that
  will be replaced with the *device path* or the *UUID* of the
  partition, depending on *OPTION* **DISKIDTYP**

  Example *partition-token*::

    DISK3P7

  This means 7th partition of 4th disk.
  Example usage of *partition-token* in *OPTION* FSTAB::

    FSTAB="DISK3P7 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1
    ..."

  To use *partition-tokens* in a *function OPTION"* variables
  have to be declared with **bootcd_global** . Example::

    bootcd_mount()
    {
      bootcd_global DISK0P3

      mountpoint="$1"
      mount $DISK0P3 $mountpoint
      ...
    }

  The function **bootcd_global** makes sure that all *partition-tokens*
  are available in the same named variable.
