[Fedora-livecd-list] Help needed running a process at boottime on livecd

[Elias Hunt]

I'll definitely look into something like that. We've always used fstab due to running some processes from the drive in inittab. So it seemed to make the most sense order wise.

Do you know of a good way to determine if a drive is formatted before mounting? I want to make sure to only format if needed, and am not sure how to determine that info.

Thanks.

I'd suggest instead of adding the filesystem to /etc/fstab that you
mount it as part of the normal livecd initscript (see the writeout
of /etc/init.d/fedora-live in the %post of fedora-base-desktop.ks).
Then you can easily check if it exists and if not do the appropriate
creation
