restore boot option doesn't work if backup resides in tce dir

(1/2) > >>

jls:
If mydata.tgz is in the tce dir but I want my backup to be restored from another place, I write restore=sda1 (4 example) in the append line in grub, but still the backup is restored from the one in the tce dir

roberts:
Yikes! Having multiple copies of such a critical file is scary.
But, OK. I will accomodate.
Be careful.

Kingdomcome:
I like the fact that most boot options will override what is found by auto-detections.  This will be a good feature.  :o

roberts:
Historically, the restore option intended use was solely to prevent auto detection.

Later the default location of the tce came in use and thus it too prevents auto detection.

Currenly tce dir trumps the verb restore for the purpose of keeping things simple (KISS).

However restore can trump, with the caveat, that user error does not halt the boot process. Thereby the chance to overwrite the wrong multiple copy of backup is possible, of which I was trying to prevent.

roberts:
Done. Will be in v2.6 starting with rc3.
