Binary packages built by this source
- cloud-initramfs-copymods: copy initramfs modules into root filesystem for later use
When booting with an external-to-root kernel and initramfs, you need
to ensure that /lib/modules contains any necessary modules not already
loaded.
.
This package arranges for the modules in the initramfs to be placed
into /lib/modules after the switchroot is done.
- cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf: write a network interface file in /run for BOOTIF
This package provides an initramfs module that will write a simple
network interfaces formated file to /run/network/interfaces with
entries for any devices that were configured during initramfs.
- cloud-initramfs-growroot: automatically resize the root partition on first boot
This package adds functionality to an initramfs built by initramfs-tools.
When installed, the initramfs will repartition a disk to make the
root volume consume all space that follows it.
.
You most likely do not want this package unless you know what you are
doing. It is primarily interesting in a virtualized environment when
a disk can provisioned with a size larger than its original size.
In this case, with this package installed, you can automatically use
the new space without requiring a reboot to re-read the partition table.
- cloud-initramfs-rescuevol: boot off a rescue volume rather than root filesystem
This package adds functionality to an initramfs built by initramfs-tools.
When installed the initramfs will check to see if any partitions
with a label of 'RESCUE_VOL' are attached. If such a volume is attached,
it will boot off that volume rather than the root volume.
.
This is useful in a cloud environment, when the user is able to attach
and detach volumes to a running system, but has no other mechanism
for interupting of fixing a failed boot. It is analogous to inserting
a rescue CD into a system to recover from failure.
- cloud-initramfs-rooturl: use a tarball or squashfs image in a url as the root filesystem
Allows user to pass in root=http://
example. com/your. tar.gz
Root filesystem will be tmpfs from that url.
- cloud-initramfs-updateroot: extract a tarball over root filesystem before pivot
Allows kernel command line updateroot=http://
your.tar. gz
And then tarball will be pulled and extracted over the root.
- overlayroot: use an overlayfs on top of a read-only root filesystem
This package adds functionality to an initramfs built by initramfs-tools.
When installed and configured, the initramfs will mount an overlayfs
filesystem on top of a read-only root volume.
.
The changes can be written to a in-memory temporary filesystem, a
filesystem on an existing block device, or a dmcrypt encrypted block
device.
