Description of problem: It would be nice if lmc could support the creation of liveimg compatible squashfs images. This should be quite easy, because it only requires lmc to wrap the fs image in a squashfs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The reason why I haven't done this is because it's really easy to put a resulting fsimage file into a directory and run mksquashfs on it. In order to support it the user would have to also pass a directory name or tree since not everyone is going to want to use the same layout.

Right, I agree that it's a quite simple process, however, it would be very convenient to have a one-step process to generate this squashfs (which can be used by anaconda and dracut alike [as you know]), without the manual intervention step. > In order > to support it the user would have to also pass a directory name or tree > since not everyone is going to want to use the same layout. Hm. At least dracut isn't to flexible about the location of the image IIRC it is squashfs-root/LiveOS/*.img which it is looking for. Let me note that I don't think of a generic wrap-in-squashfs mode, rather the specific squashfs image to be consumable by anaconda and dracut.
It is already supported using the --make-pxe-boot switch
