NAME¶
ostree-admin-init-fs - Initialize a new root filesystem
SYNOPSIS¶
ostree admin init-fs [OPTIONS...] {PATH}
DESCRIPTION¶
Initialize an empty physical root filesystem in the designated PATH, with normal toplevels and correct permissions for each directory. Primarily useful for operating system installers.
OPTIONS¶
--modern
--epoch
When set to 1, the command will skip adding a number of toplevel "API filesystems" such as /proc to the toplevel of the physical root. These should be unnecessary, as they should only be mounted in the final deployment root. The main exception is /boot, which may need to be mounted in some setups before the target root.
Epoch 2 is the same as 1, except that the toplevel ostree directory is mode 0700, denying access from unprivileged code. This is a new recommended best practice as it avoids access to old configuration files in /etc in previous deployments, as well as potentially old setuid binaries in /ostree/repo.
EXAMPLE¶
$ mkdir /example
$ ostree admin init-fs --epoch=1 /example
$ ls /example
boot
