Description Jean-frederic Clere 2019-12-19 07:30:56 UTC
Description of problem:

I have used:
rm-image-installer --image=/home/jfclere/Downloads/Fedora-Server-31-1.9.aarch64.raw.xz --target=rpi3 --media=/dev/mmcblk0 --norootpass --addkey=/home/jfclere/.ssh/id_rsa.pub --resizefs --relabel
then ssh -l root rpi_box and get a password being asked...

Looking to my laptop disk I have:
[root@pc-7 TMP]# ls -lt /.autorelabel
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Dec 18 19:27 /.autorelabel
[root@pc-7 TMP]# grep root /etc/passwd
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
operator:x:11:0:operator:/root:/sbin/nologin
Obviously arm-image-installer wrote in the wrong disk...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
31

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run /usr/bin/arm-image-installer take the SD card out.
2. put it back and run /usr/bin/arm-image-installer again
3. check /etc/passwd and /.autorelabel they changed.

Actual results:
/etc/passwd and /.autorelabel of the host system are changed.

Expected results:
/etc/passwd and /.autorelabel of the SD card are changed and the host filesystem is unchanged.

Comment 1 Jean-frederic Clere 2019-12-19 07:44:13 UTC
Looking to the host file system it looks like arm-image-installer won't work on fedora using LVM...

to remove /dev/image:

In fact to reproduce:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run /usr/bin/arm-image-installer
