Package: bilibop-udev (0.6.3 and others)

minimal udev rule for Debian GNU/Linux running from external media

Bilibop helps to maintain a Debian GNU/Linux operating system installed on an external media (USB, FireWire, Flash memory, eSATA). It hardens standard rules and policies to make the system more robust in this particular situation.

This package provides a udev rules file to manage the external drive hosting the running system. Its goal is to forbid low-level write access on this drive and its partitions by any unprivileged user or application.

This package is not designed to be used on internal disks. It works only for OS installed on removable and writable media, especially LiveUSB systems and disk images provided by most vendors of popular ARM-based development boards. See also the bilibop-rules package.
