How to pivot_root
-
Stop all uneeded services
systemctl isolate rescue-ssh.target
-
Create the new / on ramdisk
mkdir /tmp/tmproot && mount none /tmp/tmproot -t tmpfs
-
Create all the base directories
mkdir /tmp/tmproot/{proc,sys,usr,var,run,oldroot,root}
-
Copy the base symlink
cp -ax /{bin,etc,mnt,sbin,lib} /tmp/tmproot/
-
Copy /dev
cp -a /dev /tmp/tmproot/dev
-
Copy the libs for services
lsof -Fn / | grep ^n/ | cut -c2- | sort -u | grep /usr | rsync --files-from=- / /tmp/tmproot/
-
Copy other libs and binaries needed
ldd /usr/bin/{wget,gzip,dd,mount,ls,cp,cat} | grep -o '/lib[^ ]*' | sed 's/^/\/usr/' | xargs -n1 readlink -f | rsync -v --files-from=- / /tmp/tmproot/
ldd /usr/bin/{wget,gzip,dd,mount,ls,cp,cat} | grep -o '/lib[^ ]*' | sed 's/^/\/usr/' | rsync -lv --files-from=- / /tmp/tmproot/
rsync -v /usr/bin/{wget,gzip,dd,mount,ls,cp,cat} /tmp/tmproot/usr/bin/
systemctl switch-root /tmp/tmproot/
OLLLD WAY NOT WORKING ANYMORE
unshare -m
pivot_root /tmp/tmproot/ /tmp/tmproot/oldroot
mount none /proc -t proc
mount none /sys -t sysfs
mount none /dev/pts -t devpts
