12 acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
13 /proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
14 used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
15 (just use /dev/input/event*).
16
17 It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
18 It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
19 (if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
20
21 N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.

Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]834 (which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved
835 or unmounted*, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead,
Mike Frysinger55092282006-02-02 23:14:57 +0000[diff] [blame]836 switch_root deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself),
837 does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and
838 then execs the specified init program.

Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]848 When you want to remove a mounted filesystem from its current mount
849 point, for example when you are shutting down the system, the
850 'umount' utility is the tool to use. If you enabled the 'mount'
851 utility, you almost certainly also want to enable 'umount'.

870 The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
871 of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
872 loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
873 device.

Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]886 Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]887 partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]888 the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]889 the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]890 a symlink to /proc/mounts.)

Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]892 The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
893 your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
894 If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
895 example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
896 features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
897 that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused

Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000[diff] [blame]899 that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)

901 About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
902 your kernel.
