Small and reliable initramfs solution supporting (remote) rescue shell, lvm, dmcrypt luks, software raid, tuxonice, uswsusp and more.
Following my issue related to missing nodes when initramfs is embedded into kernel. I tried on my laptop, it is easier with a display. My laptop (like my headless system)...
Hi, Would it be possible to add root_key & root_keydev parameter + GPG support ? To be able to boot a vmlinuz kernel (with better-initramfs embedded into it) stored on...
Apparently some (maybe all) distros that are now requiring an initramfs to provide /usr before init loads expect the initramfs to handle the fsck of /usr. In fact unlike /...
I can think of a few ways to have done this. Is this way keeping in line with how it should be done?
I added this because I had to unlock a server using just a crossover cable recently.
With grub2 supporting luks-dmcrypt it is nowadays possible to have the linux kernel and initramfs inside the encrypted filesystem using a minimal boot partition without kernel and initramfs. This protects...
The initramfs supports mounting single-device btrfs partitions, however both /sbin/btrfs and /sbin/btrfsck are missing. Therefore it is not possible to do a "btrfs device scan" which is necessary for mounting...
Added static build of e2fsprogs. See also issue #18.
I have added the ability to create a non-gzipped image using better-initramfs. This allows the end user to more easily create an image that they can embed in their kernel....
