similar to: ramfs to tmpfs

On a train ride to Bruxelles, brought out my axe and directly attacked run_init(8). run_init(8) is dead, long live switch_root(8). The next run on switch_root(8) involves fdopendir, so another push for the upcoming stdio 1.6 branch. The following is boot tested with initramfs-tools, kinit(8) tests would very much be appreciated!? Michal Suchanek (1): [klibc] switch_root: Fix single file

This is an early userspace type question. I have an initramfs that does some root device setup, then tries to mount the real root partition and exec /sbin/init to start the real userland. It seems to do what I want, except that bootlogd hangs while mount /proc. I can't seem to figure out why. I'm booting with init=/bin/bash. bash is dynamically linked, and the appropriate libs are in

systemd supports switching back to the initramfs during shutdown in order to make it easier to clean up the root file system. This is desirable in order to allow us to remove keys from RAM before rebooting, making it harder to obtain confidential information by rebooting into an environment that scrapes RAM contents.

Dear Sirs, I've a question belonging to the run-init utility. I'm trying to boot a full linux system from ram. Therefore I provide a kernel and initrd from a tftp server. The full rootfs is provided through a nfs-server and is at time a cpio-archive. That archive shall be copied to the local client and mounted in a tmpfs partition. After that, I want replace the oldroot bei the root

initramfs-tools wants to validate the real init program before running it, as there is no way out once it has exec'd run-init. This is complicated by the increasing use of symlinks for /sbin/init and for /sbin itself. We can't simply resolve them with 'readlink -f' because any absolute symlinks will be resolved using the wrong root. Add a dry-run mode (-n option) to run-init

systemd supports switching back to the initramfs during shutdown in order to make it easier to clean up the root file system. This is desirable in order to allow us to remove keys from RAM before rebooting, making it harder to obtain confidential information by rebooting into an environment that scrapes RAM contents. --- debian/changelog | 4 +

Building on the work in ff0a614bd724f6c4c6a5014a9955dc1bc028f336, this moves the capability code down into the run-init library, so that run-init can use it as well, via the new "-d" flag.

Hello All, (I'm only one step above a user, so would appreciate any technical answers thoroughly explained. But if you're in a real rush, I could just forward your reply to a local wizard for translation.) With the script below, I use rsync to mirror the /boot partition and the / (without /boot) partition on to removable ATA/IDE hard drives. (Insertion/removal of mirror drives are

This is most exceedingly weird boot/shutdown sequence that I used once, and can't find a way to adapt to initramfs. Since you guys are trying to adapt all mechanisms that use initrd to using initramfs, this should interest you. initrd has (all binaries static): /bin: init halt mount poweroff pivot_root reboot sh umount /etc: fstab haltrc /dev: null zero tty tty0 tty1 console->tty0 hda1

Hello All, I have an issue where I have two SATA cards with 5 drives each in one zfs pool. The issue is one of the devices has been intermittently failing. The problem is that the entire box seems to lock up on occasion when this happens. I currently have the SATA cable to that device disconnected in the hopes that the box will at least stay up for now. This is a new build that I am

Hi All: I have a Cisco3620 with a proper T1/PRI card installed with asterisk running on the same LAN. Since I have lit up the line, I can dial out and make calls to regular lands lines. However when a call comes back in it rings the destination phone once and disconnects. Here is an error from my router 15:40:45: ISDN Se1/0:23 SERROR: L3_GetUser_NLCB: EVENT 0X45 No NLCB 2 15:40:45: ISDN

I was rsync'ing data from one system to another, and the recipient suddenly started throwing DRDY errors. Now, it's a fairly new WD Red 3TB, and I'd think it was just a bad drive... but I'm really confused by this, from the logs: Jun 15 15:34:43 <servername> kernel: ata3: SError: { Dispar } Dispar? And googling, every reference I find to that word always has something else

Hi, I am recovering a CentOS 5.4 system. I've copied all partitions into the recovery system. I've installed grub boot loader. However, the original system is using /dev/sdb1 for root (/), while the recovery system is using LVM (/dev/vg0/lv1) for root (/). When recovery system boots, I got the panic error: * Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /sysroot * Mount: mounting

Hi, I have a SATA PCIe 6Gbps 4 port controller card made by Startech. The kernel (Linux viz1 2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64) sees it as Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9123 I use it to provide extra SATA ports to a raid system. The HD's are all "WD2003FYYS" and so run at 3Gbps on the 6Gbps controller. However I am seeing lots of instances of errors like this
