mount-boot-utils.eclass

Name

mount-boot-utils.eclass -- functions for packages that install files into /boot or the ESP

Description

This eclass is really only useful for bootloaders and kernel installation.

If the live system has a separate /boot partition or ESP configured, then this function tries to ensure that it's mounted in rw mode, exiting with an error if it can't. It does nothing if /boot and ESP isn't a separate partition.

This eclass provides the functions used by mount-boot.eclass in an "inherit- safe" way. This allows these functions to be used in other eclasses cleanly.

Supported EAPIs

7 8

Variables

DONT_MOUNT_BOOT (USER VARIABLE)

May be set by the user or an ebuild to completely disable mount checking of the /boot partition and the EFI System Partition.

DONT_MOUNT_ESP (USER VARIABLE)

May be set by the user or an ebuild to disable mount checking of the EFI System Partition only.
