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