Subject: [PATCH 1/3] host/initramfs: Use util-linux switch_root
Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2025 20:18:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250914-util-linux-switch-root-v1-1-9cf9349cbca3@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250914-util-linux-switch-root-v1-0-9cf9349cbca3@gmail.com>
Busybox switch_root doesn't move /proc, /dev, and /sys mounts, whereas
the switch_root from util-linux does.
