Now that we use UEFI based partition, we can replace the grub with
systemd-boot.
This option have several advantages,
- minimize installed package and dependencies
- allow future customization (e.g. automounting, secure boot)
The pacman hook 00-systemd-boot is required to re-install the systemd
boot loader automatically when package systemd updated.
Updates the image configuration description to match the latest config.2022-07-02T12:51:20ZLorenzo Castellilcastelli@gmail.com2022-07-02T12:51:20Zurn:sha1:1b0aa63a8af32bf9e8a86a2dc028c38d751bad91Replaces growpartfs with the systemd equivalent functionalities.2022-07-02T12:42:26ZLorenzo Castellilcastelli@gmail.com2022-07-02T12:24:36Zurn:sha1:85b8f0073af7ae233c80483dbe275088d5940f63
This configures systemd-repart to resize the root partition, and
systemd-growfs to resize the root filesystem.
Both services run early in the boot process, and expect the /dev
filesystem to be properly populated. This was only happening later in
the bootup process in the previous configuration, as udev was not
started in the minimal initrd that was used, and as a result they would
both fail.
To fix this, systemd is now enabled in initrd, so that udev is started
there and we get a more complete system earlier. This makes initrd
somewhat bigger, but it probably makes the setup more robust in
general.
Doesn't remove packages from installation.2022-06-30T16:17:01ZLorenzo Castellilcastelli@gmail.com2022-06-30T13:44:54Zurn:sha1:5d2ef52555c6b7d907f70bbf54dfaa4a6acf6fb8
Having initial packages around is useful in case an upgrade breaks
something in the system, in order to allow rolling back to the previous
working version. These are not generally recovarable by the users since
mirrors garbage collect them, so keeping them in the image seems a
reasonable default.
Changes the image to be UEFI based.2022-06-30T16:17:01ZLorenzo Castellilcastelli@gmail.com2022-06-30T10:33:34Zurn:sha1:94c1b6d49c3f3fda336f8019e9eb94595568a62d
This is now supported in GCE, and is a better alternative to the old MBR
setup used before. This requires the UEFI_COMPATIBLE flag to be passed
during image creation.
