== Disk Layout
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When Citadel is installed two disk partitions are created on the target disk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[screen]
|
||
|
|
sda 8:0 0 477G 0 disk
|
||
|
|
├─sda1 8:1 0 511M 0 part
|
||
|
|
└─sda2 8:2 0 476.5G 0 part
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first partition is an EFI boot partition and the second partition is LUKS encrypted
|
||
|
|
and contains multiple LVM volumes when decrypted.

There are three logical volumes. Two root filesystem partitions so that one partition
|
||
|
|
can be updated while the other one is in use, and the remaining space is contained
|
||
|
|
in a volume called 'storage'.

=== Bootloader
|
||
|
|
|

|
==== LUKS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The kernel initramfs has an /etc/crypttab file which guides the discovery of the LUKS partition.
|
||
|
|
The UUID of the LUKS partition is hardcoded to the value listed below. If citadel is installed
|
||
|
|
on more than one device on the system, the intended LUKS partition may not be chosen correctly.
|
||
|
|
This problem can be addressed by changing the UUID of other citadel LUKS partitions and passing
|
||
|
|
the UUID on kernel commandline to override /etc/crypttab. See systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[screen sh]
|
||
|
|
# cat /etc/crypttab
|
||
|
|
luks UUID=683a17fc-4457-42cc-a946-cde67195a101 - discard
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==== Mounting rootfs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The initramfs boot stage is orchestrated by various systemd unit files which can be found
|
||
|
|
in the citadel source tree at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[screen]
|
||
|
|
citadel/meta-citadel/recipes-initrd/citadel-initramfs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The same kernel and initramfs is used for the installer image. One task of these unit files
|
||
|
|
is to set up a live mode boot when a certain kernel command line option is set. For a regular
|
||
|
|
boot, a pair of unit files will attempt to mount the root filesystem partition when it becomes
|
||
|
|
available:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[screen]
|
||
|
|
citadel-rootfs-mount.path
|
||
|
|
citadel-rootfs-mount.service
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The .path unit triggers every time /dev/mapper changes and the corresponding .service unit is
|
||
|
|
activated only when all of the LVM volumes inside
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
