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
- mdev, mdevd, eudev
Installation
------------
Dependencies
------------
* POSIX shell
* `toybox` OR `busybox` OR `sbase/ubase` OR `coreutils/util-linux`
* POSIX utilities
* `switch_root`
* `readlink`
* `install`
* `setsid`
* `mount`
* `cpio`
* `gzip`
- Required by default
* `strip`
- Optional
* `blkid`
- Required for mdev/mdevd
* `mdev` OR `mdevd` OR `eudev`
* `kmod`
- Not required for monolithic kernel (builtin modules)
* `cryptsetup`
- Required for LUKS support
- 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 (builtin modules)
Notes
-----
* busybox and toybox blkid doesn't support PARTUUID
* zsh (in POSIX mode) showing some errors, but working fine
* cp -P is broken in toybox, see [here](https://github.com/landley/toybox/issues/174)
Installation
------------
```sh
git clone https://github.com/illiliti/tinyramfs
cd tinyramfs
make install
vi /etc/tinyramfs/config # edit config for your needs
tinyramfs -o /boot/initramfs
# update your bootloader
# reboot...
```
Usage
-----
```
usage: ./tinyramfs [option]
usage: tinyramfs [option]
-o, --output <file> set initramfs output path
-c, --config <file> set config file path
-m, --moddir <dir> set modules directory
