[Bug 274854] [NEW] spufs filesystem not mounted on boot

[Dan Munckton]

Public bug reported:

SYMPTOMS

On booting the PS3 the first boot message is:

* Filesystem type 'spufs' is not supported. Skipping mount.

When the system is up running mount shows that /spu has not been
mounted.

SOLUTION

initramfs-tools does not include spufs by default when a new initramfs
image is created. Also, even if the spufs module is included it is not
automatically loaded.

To solve the first problem the auto_add_modules() function in the hook-
functions script could be modified to include the module when an image
is created. Still to decide the best solution for the second problem.

Patches to follow.
