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

Dependencies

  • POSIX shell
  • 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
    • systemd-udevd not tested
  • lvm2
    • Required for LVM support
  • cryptsetup
    • Required for LUKS support
  • kmod OR busybox modutils with this patch (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
