1 Boot time creation of mapped devices
2 ===================================
3
4 It is possible to configure a device mapper device to act as the root
5 device for your system in two ways.
6
7 The first is to build an initial ramdisk which boots to a minimal
8 userspace which configures the device, then pivot_root(8) in to it.
9
10 For simple device mapper configurations, it is possible to boot directly
11 using the following kernel command line:
12
13 dm="<name> <uuid> <ro>,table line 1,...,table line n"
14
15 name = the name to associate with the device
16 after boot, udev, if used, will use that name to label
17 the device node.
18 uuid = may be 'none' or the UUID desired for the device.
19 ro = may be "ro" or "rw". If "ro", the device and device table will be
20 marked read-only.
21
22 Each table line may be as normal when using the dmsetup tool except for
23 two variations:
24 1. Any use of commas will be interpreted as a newline
25 2. Quotation marks cannot be escaped and cannot be used without
26 terminating the dm= argument.
27
28 Unless renamed by udev, the device node created will be dm-0 as the
29 first minor number for the device-mapper is used during early creation.
30
31 Example
32 =======
33
34 - Booting to a linear array made up of user-mode linux block devices:
35
36 dm="lroot none 0, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" \
37 root=/dev/dm-0
38
39 Will boot to a rw dm-linear target of 8192 sectors split across two
40 block devices identified by their major:minor numbers. After boot, udev
41 will rename this target to /dev/mapper/lroot (depending on the rules).
42 No uuid was assigned.
