Support for root being mounted elsewhere #51

Open jsok opened 4 years ago

jsok commented 4 years ago

I'd like to embed micro-config-drive in my initramfs, however at this point root isn't mount at /, instead (by convention) it's at $rootmnt (default: /root).

Other tools like ignition support this via a command line flag: ignition --root="${rootmnt}".

Would adding such support to ucd be a welcome contribution? I'd be happy to implement.

That definitely is something we can consider. Probably the best thing is to do a PoC and see if there are any problems with it...

Some basic questions I have:

Do you assume a config-2 filesystem is present locally on the system?
Is this for a VM sort of use case? or bare metal? iPXE?
