There is a wide variety of tracing options through the various shell scripts. Some use "set -eux", others explicity set xtrace and others do nothing. There is a "-x" option to bin/disk-image-create but it doesn't flow down to the many scripts it calls. This adds a global integer variable set by disk-image-create DIB_DEBUG_TRACE. All scripts have a stanza added to detect this and turn on tracing. Any other tracing methods are rolled into this. So the standard header is --- if [ "${DIB_DEBUG_TRACE:-0}" -gt 0 ]; then set -x fi set -eu set -o pipefail --- Multiple -x options can be specified to dib-create-image, which increases the value of DIB_DEBUG_TRACE. If script authors feel their script should only trace at higher levels, they should modify the "-gt" value. If they feel it should trace by default, they can modify the default value also. Changes to pachset 16 : scripts which currently trace themselves by default have retained this behaviour with DIB_DEBUG_TRACE defaulting to "1". This was done by running [1] on patch set 15. See the thread beginning at [2] dib-lint is also updated to look for the variable being matched.

iso
Generates a bootable ISO image from the kernel/ramdisk generated by
the elements baremetal
or ramdisk
. It uses
isolinux to boot on BIOS machines and grub to boot on EFI machines.
This element has been tested on the following distro(s): * ubuntu * fedora
NOTE: For other distros, please make sure the
isolinux.bin
file exists at
/usr/lib/syslinux/isolinux.bin
.
baremetal element
When used with baremetal
element, this generates a
bootable ISO image named <image-name>-boot.iso
booting the generated kernel and ramdisk. It also automatically appends
kernel command-line argument
'root=UUID=<uuid-of-the-root-partition>'. Any more kernel
command-line arguments required may be provided by specifying them in
DIB_BOOT_ISO_KERNEL_CMDLINE_ARGS
.
NOTE: It uses pre-built efiboot.img by default to work for UEFI machines. This is because of a bug in latest version of grub[1]. The user may choose to avoid using pre-built binary and build efiboot.img on their own machine by setting the environment variable DIB_UEFI_ISO_BUILD_EFIBOOT to 1 (this might work only on certain versions of grub). The current efiboot.img was generated by the method build_efiboot_img() in 100-build-iso on Ubuntu 13.10 with grub 2.00-19ubuntu2.1.
ramdisk element
When used with ramdisk
element, this generates a
bootable ISO image named <image-name>.iso
booting the
generated kernel and ramdisk. It also automatically appends kernel
command-line argument 'boot_method=vmedia' which is required for Ironic
drivers iscsi_ilo
.
