Mounted Mode
« on: August 22, 2024, 10:22:23 AM »
Hi all,

Online, I can find a lot of mentions of "Mount Mode", or "Mounted Mode". Presumably, this allows me to reduce the memory footprint of my system, as all files are directly mounted from squashfs and then symlinked to, instead of all copied into memory. Because my system only has 500mb of memory, and I am pushing the limits of my system already, I'd like to be able to reduce the amount of data that is stored in the initramfs, even if it comes at a performance cost.

How do I enable mounted mode, as opposed to copy mode?

Regards,
Rolf

Mounted mode is the default for extensions, but the initrd is copied into ram.
