# How to pivot_root
1. Stop all uneeded services
`systemctl isolate rescue-ssh.target`
1. Create the new / on ramdisk
`mkdir /tmp/tmproot && mount none /tmp/tmproot -t tmpfs`
1. Create all the base directories
`mkdir /tmp/tmproot/{proc,sys,usr,var,run,oldroot,root}`
1. Copy the base symlink
`cp -ax /{bin,etc,mnt,sbin,lib} /tmp/tmproot/`
1. Copy /dev
`cp -a /dev /tmp/tmproot/dev`
1. Copy the libs for services
`lsof -Fn / | grep ^n/ | cut -c2- | sort -u | grep /usr | rsync --files-from=- / /tmp/tmproot/`
1. 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`
