How does this work again - "waitusb=30:LABEL=tinycore"
(1/1)
bigpcman:
As of tc2.11 we have the following:
--- Quote ---* Updated tc-config waitusb added optional LABEL/UID, e.g. waitusb=30:LABEL=tinycore
--- End quote ---
Please remind me how this works.
I read thread http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=5584.msg29883#msg29883 but I don't get how LABEL=tinycore relates to a "blkid" . Does this example simply look for the tc file system to be mounted? Is the label the name of the usb partition?
jur:
I just tried this option.
I named the usb stick label 'tinycore' (which because of VFAT turned out to be 'TINYCORE'), changed the boot code and observed it booted in about 4s. I stuck a 20s timeout in there and it used up 4s before the usb stick was recognized.
roberts:
The FAQ ( http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#pendrives ) explains how to write a label to a device.
curaga:
It polls for any block device with that label, exits immediately if found. If not, it waits the specified timeout.
