Tinyramfs
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
**Currently tinyramfs is incomplete, don't expect that everything is working**
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- No `local`'s, no bashisms, only POSIX shell
|
|
- Easy configuration
|
|
- mdev, mdevd, eudev
|
|
- LUKS, LVM
|
|
- LUKS detached header and key embedded into initramfs
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* POSIX utilities ( find, mkdir, ... )
|
|
* POSIX shell
|
|
* `switch_root`
|
|
* `readlink`
|
|
* `install`
|
|
* `mount`
|
|
* `blkid`
|
|
* `cpio`
|
|
* `strip`
|
|
- Optional
|
|
* `gzip`
|
|
- Required by default
|
|
* `mdev` OR `mdevd` OR `eudev`
|
|
- systemd-udevd not tested
|
|
* `lvm2`
|
|
- Required for LVM support
|
|
* `cryptsetup`
|
|
- Required for LUKS support
|
|
* `kmod` OR `busybox modutils` with [this patch](https://gist.github.com/illiliti/ef9ee781b5c6bf36d9493d99b4a1ffb6) (already included in KISS Linux)
|
|
- Not required for monolithic kernel
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* busybox modutils doesn't handle soft dependencies (modules.softdep). You must manually include them using `modules` config option
|
|
* busybox and toybox blkid doesn't support PARTUUID. You must use util-linux blkid
|
|
* zsh (in POSIX mode) shows some errors in init stage. Just ignore these errors, it's harmless
|
|
* `cp` in toybox incorrectly handles `-P` flag. You need to apply patch from [this issue](https://github.com/landley/toybox/issues/174) or replace cp with another implementation
