Early creation of mapped devices
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
It is possible to configure a device-mapper device to act as the root device for
|
|
your system in two ways.
|
|
|
|
The first is to build an initial ramdisk which boots to a minimal userspace
|
|
which configures the device, then pivot_root(8) in to it.
|
|
|
|
The second is to create one or more device-mappers using the module parameter
|
|
"dm-mod.create=" through the kernel boot command line argument.
|
|
|
|
The format is specified as a string of data separated by commas and optionally
|
|
semi-colons, where:
|
|
|
|
- a comma is used to separate fields like name, uuid, flags and table
|
|
(specifies one device)
|
|
- a semi-colon is used to separate devices.
|
|
|
|
So the format will look like this::
|
|
|
|
dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+]
|
|
|
|
Where::
|
|
|
|
<name> ::= The device name.
|
|
<uuid> ::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | ""
|
|
<minor> ::= The device minor number | ""
|
|
<flags> ::= "ro" | "rw"
|
|
<table> ::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args>
|
|
<target_type> ::= "verity" | "linear" | ... (see list below)
|
|
|
|
The dm line should be equivalent to the one used by the dmsetup tool with the
|
|
`--concise` argument.
|
|
|
|
Target types
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Not all target types are available as there are serious risks in allowing
|
|
activation of certain DM targets without first using userspace tools to check
|
|
the validity of associated metadata.
|
|
|
|
======================= =======================================================
|
|
`cache` constrained, userspace should verify cache device
|
|
`crypt` allowed
|
|
`delay` allowed
|
|
`era` constrained, userspace should verify metadata device
|
|
`flakey` constrained, meant for test
|
|
`linear` allowed
|
|
`log-writes` constrained, userspace should verify metadata device
|
|
`mirror` constrained, userspace should verify main/mirror device
|
|
`raid` constrained, userspace should verify metadata device
|
|
`snapshot` constrained, userspace should verify src/dst device
|
|
`snapshot-origin` allowed
|
|
`snapshot-merge` constrained, userspace should verify src/dst device
|
|
`striped` allowed
|
|
`switch` constrained, userspace should verify dev path
|
|
`thin` constrained, requires dm target message from userspace
|
|
`thin-pool` constrained, requires dm target message from userspace
|
|
`verity` allowed
|
|
`writecache` constrained, userspace should verify cache device
|
|
`zero` constrained, not meant for rootfs
|
|
======================= =======================================================
|
|
|
|
If the target is not listed above, it is constrained by default (not tested).

Examples
|
|
========
|
|
An example of booting to a linear array made up of user-mode linux block
|
|
devices::
|
|
|
|
dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0
|
|
|
|
This will boot to a rw dm-linear target of 8192 sectors split across two block
|
|
devices identified by their major:minor numbers. After boot, udev will rename
|
|
this target to /dev/mapper/lroot (depending on the rules). No uuid was assigned.
|
|
|
|
An example of multiple device-mappers, with the dm-mod.create="..." contents
|
|
is shown here split on multiple lines for readability::
|
|
|
|
dm-linear,,1,rw,
|
|
0 32768 linear 8:1 0,
|
|
32768 1024000 linear 8:2 0;
|
|
dm-verity,,3,ro,
|
|
0 1638400 verity 1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2 4096 4096 204800 1 sha256
