This did not really work out as we had hoped. Trying to do this upstream introduced several problems that probably makes it better suited as a downstream patch after all. At any rate, it is not releaseable in the current state, so we at least need to revert this before the release. * by adjusting the path to binaries, but not do the same thing to the search path we end up with inconsistent man-pages. Adjusting the search path too would be quite messy, and it is not at all obvious that this is worth the effort, but at any rate it would have to be done before we could ship this. * this means that distributed man-pages does not make sense as they depend on config options, and for better or worse we are still distributing man pages, so that is something that definitely needs sorting out before we could ship with this patch. * we have long held that split-usr is only minimally supported in order to boot, and something we hope will eventually go away. So before we start adding even more magic/effort in order to make this work nicely, we should probably question if it makes sense at all.

<title>Description</title>

|
|
|
<para>A number of different components are involved in the system
|
|
boot. Immediately after power-up, the system BIOS will do minimal
|
|
hardware initialization, and hand control over to a boot loader
|
|
stored on a persistent storage device. This boot loader will then
|
|
invoke an OS kernel from disk (or the network). In the Linux case,
|
|
this kernel (optionally) extracts and executes an initial RAM disk
|
|
image (initrd), such as generated by
|
|
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>dracut</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
|
|
which looks for the root file system (possibly using
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for this). After the root file system is found and mounted, the
|
|
initrd hands over control to the host's system manager (such as
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
|
|
stored on the OS image, which is then responsible for probing all
|
|
remaining hardware, mounting all necessary file systems and
|
|
spawning all configured services.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>On shutdown, the system manager stops all services, unmounts
|
|
all file systems (detaching the storage technologies backing
|
|
them), and then (optionally) jumps back into the initrd code which
|
|
unmounts/detaches the root file system and the storage it resides
|
|
on. As a last step, the system is powered down.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Additional information about the system boot process may be
|
|
found in

<title>System Manager Bootup</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>At boot, the system manager on the OS image is responsible
|
|
for initializing the required file systems, services and drivers
|
|
that are necessary for operation of the system. On
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
systems, this process is split up in various discrete steps which
|
|
are exposed as target units. (See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.target</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for detailed information about target units.) The boot-up process
|
|
is highly parallelized so that the order in which specific target
|
|
units are reached is not deterministic, but still adheres to a
|
|
limited amount of ordering structure.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When systemd starts up the system, it will activate all
|
|
units that are dependencies of <filename>default.target</filename>
|
|
(as well as recursively all dependencies of these dependencies).
|
|
Usually, <filename>default.target</filename> is simply an alias of
|
|
<filename>graphical.target</filename> or
|
|
<filename>multi-user.target</filename>, depending on whether the
|
|
system is configured for a graphical UI or only for a text
|
|
console. To enforce minimal ordering between the units pulled in,
|
|
a number of well-known target units are available, as listed on
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.special</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The following chart is a structural overview of these
|
|
well-known units and their position in the boot-up logic. The
|
|
arrows describe which units are pulled in and ordered before which
|
|
other units. Units near the top are started before units nearer to
|
|
the bottom of the chart.</para>

<title>Bootup in the Initial RAM Disk (initrd)</title>
|
|
<para>The initial RAM disk implementation (initrd) can be set up
|
|
using systemd as well. In this case, boot up inside the initrd
|
|
follows the following structure.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The default target in the initrd is
|
|
<filename>initrd.target</filename>. The bootup process begins
|
|
identical to the system manager bootup (see above) until it
|
|
reaches <filename>basic.target</filename>. From there, systemd
|
|
approaches the special target <filename>initrd.target</filename>.
|
|
If the root device can be mounted at
|
|
<filename>/sysroot</filename>, the
|
|
<filename>sysroot.mount</filename> unit becomes active and
|
|
<filename>initrd-root-fs.target</filename> is reached. The service
|
|
<filename>initrd-parse-etc.service</filename> scans
|
|
<filename>/sysroot/etc/fstab</filename> for a possible
|
|
<filename>/usr</filename> mount point and additional entries
|
|
marked with the <emphasis>x-initrd.mount</emphasis> option. All
|
|
entries found are mounted below <filename>/sysroot</filename>, and
|
|
<filename>initrd-fs.target</filename> is reached. The service
|
|
<filename>initrd-cleanup.service</filename> isolates to the
|
|
<filename>initrd-switch-root.target</filename>, where cleanup
|
|
services can run. As the very last step, the
|
|
<filename>initrd-switch-root.service</filename> is activated,
|
|
which will cause the system to switch its root to
|
|
<filename>/sysroot</filename>.
