NAME

       uck-remaster-unpack-rootfs - Ubuntu Customization Kit rootfs unpacking script

SYNOPSIS

       uck-remaster-unpack-rootfs [-m] [remaster-dir]

DESCRIPTION

       uck-remaster-unpack-rootfs extracts the root file system stored in compressed form from an unpacked ISO
       image (cf. uck-remaster-unpack-iso).  If the argument is not specified, it defaults to ~/tmp.

       By default uck-remaster-unpack-rootfs works by mounting the rootfs image on a temporary directory and
       then copying all contents to the directory remaster-root under remaster-dir.

       If the -m option is specified, a set of loop back and unionfs mounts will be used to create a writeable
       instance of the rootfs image accessible as remaster-root under remaster-dir. The modified parts of the
       root file system will be cached in remaster-root-cache under remaster-dir.  This is a lot faster and
       requires less disk space, but may not work for all scenarios and mandates the installation of some
       additional software (i.e.  fuse-utils and unionfs-fuse).
