Under initramfs, you have to use this instead of 14 //config: pivot_root. 15 //config: 16 //config: Booting with initramfs extracts a gzipped cpio archive into rootfs 17 //config: (which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved 18 //config: or unmounted, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead, 19 //config: run-init deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself), 20 //config: does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and 21 //config: then execs the specified init program. 22 //config: 23 //config: util-linux has a similar tool, switch-root. 24 //config: run-init differs by also having a "-d CAPS_TO_DROP" option. 25 26 /* applet and kbuild hooks are in switch_root.c */ 27
