MKINITRD.CONF !!!MKINITRD.CONF NAME DESCRIPTION VARIABLES SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME mkinitrd.conf - configuration file for mkinitrd !!DESCRIPTION The behaviour of mkinitrd(8) may be altered by changing this file. This file is meant to be parsed as a shell script thus the syntactical rules of a shell script will apply. See sh(1) for more details. !!VARIABLES __MODULES__ The legal values are ''all'', ''most'' and ''none''. All modules are included on the image if it is set to ''all''. Setting it to ''most'' will cause mkinitrd(8) to exclude modules which are considered unlikely to be necessary in the process of bringing up a root file system. Setting it to ''none'' will cause mkinitrd(8) to not include any modules, even if modules were specified in ''/etc/mkinitrd/modules''. __DELAY__ The number of seconds the __linuxrc__ script should wait to allow the user to interrupt it before the system is brought up. __ROOT__ If this is set to ''probe'', mkinitrd(8) will try to determine the modules needed to bring up the root file system using ''/etc/fstab''. It will also insert code onto the image in order to setup a software __RAID__ device if necessary. This can be disabled by setting it to a null string. If you wish to use an alternative root device, you can specify it here and mkinitrd(8) will use that to figure out what is needed. You can also set the file system type of your root device by appending it to the value of __ROOT__ with a space in between. You will need to quote the entire value as otherwise the shell will interpret the file system type as a command. This variable replaces the obsolete __PROBE__ variable. The values ''probe'' and the null string correspond to the values ''on'' and ''off'' for __PROBE__. __UMASK__ The umask is used during the construction of the directory structure and the final image. __MKIMAGE__ This should be a command that produces an __initrd__ image given a directory. It must contain two occurances of ''%s''. The first one will be replaced by the path to the directory for the candidate image. The other one will be replaced by the name of the output file. Don't touch this unless you know what you are doing. !!SEE ALSO mkinitrd(8) !!AUTHOR Herbert Xu ----
