Migration from root.disk doesn't support separate virtual disks #9

Closed bcbc closed 13 years ago

bcbc commented 13 years ago

The current migration expects the root.disk to be a fully contained Wubi install (with Grub2, i.e. original install is release 9.10 or later). If there are separate virtual disks for /home or /usr the migration attempt will be disallowed. Changes required to examine the /etc/fstab on the root.disk and locate and mount the other disks.

Latest dev-cd branch script will support migration from a root.disk with separate home.disk and usr.disk. (No other virtual disks will be supported). This supports migration of installations on FAT32 which can install with separate usr.disk and home.disk by default, as well as installs on NTFS where likely the only additional virtual disk is home.disk. The requirement is that the additional virtual disks are in the same directory as the root.disk

Grub legacy (with separate boot folder on host) is still not supported (and won't be).

Pending further testing, prior to new release.
