NAME
ltsp-update-image - Generate an NBD image from an LTSP chroot
SYNOPSIS
ltsp-update-image [OPTION] [CHROOT...]
DESCRIPTION
ltsp-update-image generates a compressed squashfs image from an LTSP chroot and exports it with nbd-server(1). CHROOT can be a full path or a subdirectory of the /opt/ltsp base directory, and it defaults to the host architecture if unset.
OPTIONS
-b --base= The LTSP base directory. Defaults to "/opt/ltsp". -c --cleanup Temporarily remove user accounts, logs, caches etc from the chroot before exporting the image. The chroot arch is required to be compatible with the server arch. -e --exclude= List of dirs/files to exclude from the image. This is in addition to /etc/ltsp/ltsp-update-image.excludes. -f --config-nbd Generate appropriate nbd-server configuration files. It's automatically set if NFS isn't used or if other LTSP generated nbd-server configuration files already exist. -h --help The application help page. -m --no-compress Don't compress the generated image. -n --no-backup Don't backup chroot.img to chroot.img.old. -r --revert Swap chroot.img with chroot.img.old and update kernels.
