* [ general ] Change Toolchain download method. Introduce torrent downloads by using Aria2. If torrent download fails it proceeds to download from servers. It can download from all mirrors at once, so download speed is dramatically increased. @mzhboy DOWNLOAD_MIRROR parameter is not needed here anymore. The same method is used to download rootfilesystem cache. Based on ideas from here https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/1364
* Added yet another mirror for speeding up the download process, few small adjustements for torrent downloading
* Optimising direct download when DOWNLOAD_MIRROR is set to 'china' due to aria2 download limitations
* Both mirrors support HTTPS, changing
The packages 'recommend' python3-apt, while it simply does not work
without this package:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-apt-updates", line 25, in <module>
import apt_pkg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'
- set to `google` to use mirror provided by Google, the same as
`USE_MAINLINE_GOOGLE_MIRROR=yes`.
- set to `tuna` to use mirror provided by tsinghua university.
- leave it unset to use offical `git.kernel.org`.
* downloader aria2 replace curl
aria2 is a fast downloader and it can do much more than curl
- skip download when target file exists
- restart an interrupted download session
- multithreading
* remove duplicate download item
* change btrfs compression to zstd and no force compression
* mkfs.btrfs options '--data single --metadata single --label btrfs'
disable dup(duplication) on microsd card
* [fstab] change mountopts[btrfs] compression method to zstd
lzo is no fater than zstd because the low 4k write performance on my
Samsung EVO+ 32GB microsd card.
meanwhile the best io size is above 32k based on benchmark
* replace dd with truncate, create a sparse disk image
* create btrfs subvolume by default
subvolume @ as rootfs, mount at /
subvolume @home as /home, mount at /home
* fix extraargs in armbianEnv.txt
* remove tmpfs mount on /tmp
A zram block device will mount on /tmp by
/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-zram-config.
And instead, mount /media as tmpfs.
* [rsync] add '--inplace' option, optimize for btrfs
* [general.sh] change ntp server to pool.ntp.org
* [general] new option to setup btrfs compression method
for support old and boring 3.x kernels
* [general] set btrfs space cache based kervel version
kernel version above 4.5 select 'v2' as default
* [btrfs] BTRFS_COMPRESSION accept compression ratio
BTRFS_COMPRESSION=zlib
BTRFS_COMPRESSION=zstd:5
BTRFS_COMPRESSION=zstd:12 are acceptable
* [btrfs] set btrfs compression to lzo when input is illegal
* [general] new option DOWNLOAD_MIRROR to select download mirror
current DOWNLOAD_MIRROR=china is used
the mirror is provided by tsinghua university
* [general] replace USE_MAINLINE_GOOGLE_MIRROR with MAINLINE_MIRROR
MAINLINE_MIRROR=google, use google provided mirror
MAINLINE_MIRROR=tuna, use tsinghua provided mirror
leave it empty, use official git.kernel.org
* fix btrfs default compression
* display $fscreateopt
* display_alert BTRFS_COMPRESSION
* try fix BTRFS_COMPRESSION variable not working
* debug fetch_from_repo
* configuration.sh debug BTRFS_COMPRESION
* update logic
* debug checking btrfs compression
* fix variable check,fix local variable usage
* [general] replace USE_MAINLINE_GOOGLE_MIRROR with MAINLINE_MIRROR
MAINLINE_MIRROR=google, use google provided mirror
MAINLINE_MIRROR=tuna, use tsinghua provided mirror
leave it empty, use official git.kernel.org
* [general] new option DOWNLOAD_MIRROR to select download mirror
current DOWNLOAD_MIRROR=china is used
the mirror is provided by tsinghua university
* Revert "try fix BTRFS_COMPRESSION variable not working"
This reverts commit 9814cfb054.
* Revert "debug fetch_from_repo"
This reverts commit ba571f0d89.
* add default compression method for mountopts
* remove useless var
* remove debug
* remove debug
* [general] set btrfs space cache based on kernel version
kernel version above 4.5 select 'v2' as default,
below 4.5 select 'v1' as default
* [general] reintroduce USE_MAINLINE_GOOGLE_MIRROR
* [general] case replaces 'if xx ;elif xxx;fi'
* [general] fix always downloading linux-firmware.git
clone to new dir 'linux-firmware-git' instead the old '$plugin_dir/lib/firmware'
,and then copy files as hardlinks.
* [general] create soft link instead of moving directory
* [btrfs] change rootfs subvolume name to @$RELEASE
now, the rootfs subvolume looks like @stretch,@bionic
it is possible to use different distribution in the same btrfs
partition.
