mkinitcpio, a program to generate initramfs on Arch Linux and related distributions dracut, another program to generate initramfs on some Linux distributions. An image of this initial root file system (along with the kernel image) must be stored somewhere accessible by the Linux bootloader or the boot firmware of the computer.
Most of the initramfs generation functionality in Dracut is provided by generator modules that are sourced by the main dracut tool to install specific functionality into the initramfs. [1] They live in the modules subdirectory , and use functionality provided by dracut-functions to do their work.
Many distributions use dracut to generate and maintain the initramfs image. The root file system is later switched via a call to pivot_root() which unmounts the temporary root file system and replaces it with the use of the real one, once the latter is accessible. [14] The memory used by the temporary root file system is then reclaimed.
This feature is implemented in live-initramfs and allows the user to run a live distro that does not run from ram by default by adding toram to the kernel boot parameters. [1] Additionally some distributions can be configured to run from RAM, such as Ubuntu using the toram option included in the Casper scripts. [2]
The AppImage project, which aims to create portable Linux applications, uses Squashfs for creating AppImages. The snap package system also uses Squashfs as its file container format. Squashfs is also used by Linux Terminal Server Project and Splashtop .
