Re: Few Fedora 20 ProjectAtomic VM questions

Hello all,

    I've been working with the Fedora 20 image from projectatomic.io for

the past few days off and on in preparation for a presentation I'm

giving on Friday and I had a few questions that popped up.

 

1) For the command 'ostree log REFSPEC', where do I find out what it

wants as a REFSPEC? 

 

ostree refs

 

 

I tried a number of combinations of the output from 'ostree admin

status' but nothing I try seems to not error.

 

Hm, that should work.  What exactly did you run?

 

 

2) Does the latest version of the Fedora 20 projectatomic.io VM support

installing packages "on top" (for lack of a better phrasing) using yum?

Or is that still in the pipeline?

 

Still in the pipeline.

 

 

3) I'm curious about the output from findmnt, I'm seeing entries where

the source is /dev/vda3[some_stuff_in_brackets], I'm not familiar with

what that is or where it comes from and was hoping someone could provide

clarification.

 

Those are bind mounts.  There are a few of them.

 

* /sysroot points to the physical root.

* /var is a bind mount outside the deployment root to the shared /var.

* /usr is a read-only bind mount for a few reasons, but the primary one

   is to avoid admins accidentally corrupting the object store (hardlink farm)

 

I'm sure I'll come up with more questions in the future and would like

to apologize if this is line noise, but also offer some preliminary

gratitude to whom ever has answers.

 

No worries, we're still very much spinning up on the docs side.
