[PATCH v2 2/2] kvm tools: Add '--rootfs' and '--binsh'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch adds 2 new flags:

 --rootfs [path] - Specifies a path to use as rootfs. The path will be mounted
using virtio-9p and booted from.
Easiest way to test it is to mount the sample image we recommend with kvm tool
(http://wiki.qemu.org/download/linux-0.2.img.bz2) and mounting it somewhere.
*PLEASE DO NOT TRY BOOTING FROM YOUR REAL ROOT AKA '/', EVEN WITH READ ONLY
SET* - Lets make sure the code is bulletproof before we delete your rootfs :)

 --binsh - This flag will boot into simple /bin/sh shell instead of going
through /sbin/init. This is usefull for more complex distribution rootfs
where we have to deal with /etc/fstab and such.
