Command line length limit - francisaugusto - 2020-07-13 09:18

Hi,

I am using packer to automate the creation of of ISOs on VM's. The VM boots into ipxe and we pass some arguments.

When adding arguments to the kernel command, we reach some limit where the rest of the arguments are cut.

The solution was to use imgargs, which I am aware of its deprecated status.

How can I pass longer arguments? We end up reaching the limit quite easily, especially with long url's and such.

Best,

Francis
