From 281d80d8e547fe663aaacb3226119166dd3100f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maxim Cournoyer Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 14:00:06 -0500 Subject: linux-boot: Refactor boot-system. The --root option can now be omitted, and inferred from the root file system declaration instead. * gnu/build/file-systems.scm (canonicalize-device-spec): Extend to support NFS directly, and... * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (boot-system): ...remove NFS special casing from here. Remove nested definitions for root-fs-type, root-fs-flags and root-fs-options, and bind those inside the let* instead. Make "--root" take precedence over the device field string representation of the root file system. * doc/guix.texi (Initial RAM Disk): Document that "--root" can be left unspecified. --- doc/guix.texi | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/guix.texi b/doc/guix.texi index eef5b703fe..4e02993771 100644 --- a/doc/guix.texi +++ b/doc/guix.texi @@ -26534,9 +26534,10 @@ service activation programs and then spawns the GNU@tie{}Shepherd, the initialization system. @item --root=@var{root} -Mount @var{root} as the root file system. @var{root} can be a -device name like @code{/dev/sda1}, a file system label, or a file system -UUID. +Mount @var{root} as the root file system. @var{root} can be a device +name like @code{/dev/sda1}, a file system label, or a file system UUID. +When unspecified, the device name from the root file system of the +operating system declaration is used. @item --system=@var{system} Have @file{/run/booted-system} and @file{/run/current-system} point to -- cgit 1.4.1
