@ -43,3 +43,41 @@ A typical Linux system has, among others, the following directories:
| `/var` | This directory contains files which may change in size, such as spool and [log](../dev/Log.md) files. |
| `/var/cache` | Data cached for programs. |
| `/var/log` | Miscellaneous [log](../dev/Log.md) files. |
## Kernel Commandline
The kernel, the programs running in the initrd and in the host system may be configured at boot via kernel command line arguments.
The current cmdline can be seen at `/proc/cmdline`.
For setting the cmdline use `/etc/kernel/cmdline` if you use UKIs.
**Common Kernel Cmdline Arguments:**
| Argument | Description |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `quiet` | Parameter understood by both the kernel and the system and service manager to control console log verbosity. |
| `splash` | Show a plymouth splash screen while booting. |
| `init=` | This sets the initial command to be executed by the kernel. If this is not set, or cannot be found, the kernel will try `/sbin/init`, then `/etc/init`, then `/bin/init`, then `/bin/sh` and panic if all of this fails. |
| `ro` and `rw` | The `ro` option tells the kernel to mount the root filesystem as 'read-only'. The `rw` option tells the kernel to mount the root filesystem read/write. This is the default. |
| `resume=...` | This tells the kernel the location of the suspend-to-disk data that you want the machine to resume from after hibernation. Usually, it is the same as your swap partition or file. Example: `resume=/dev/hda2` |
| `panic=N` | By default, the kernel will not reboot after a panic, but this option will cause a kernel reboot after `N` seconds (if `N` is greater than zero). This panic timeout can also be set by `echo N > /proc/sys/kernel/panic` |
| `plymouth.enable=` | May be used to disable the Plymouth boot splash. For details, see plymouth. |
| `vconsole.keymap=, vconsole.keymap_toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font_map=, vconsole.font_unimap=` | Parameters understood by the virtual console setup logic. For details, see `vconsole.conf` |
| `luks=, rd.luks=` | Defaults to "yes". If "no", disables the crypt mount generator entirely. `rd.luks=` is honored only in the initrd while `luks=` is honored by both the main system and in the initrd. |
| `luks.crypttab=, rd.luks.crypttab=` | Defaults to "yes". If "no", causes the generator to ignore any devices configured in `/etc/crypttab` (`luks.uuid=` will still work however). `rd.luks.crypttab=` is honored only in initrd while `luks.crypttab=` is honored by both the main system and in the initrd. |
| `luks.uuid=, rd.luks.uuid=` | Takes a LUKS superblock UUID as argument. This will activate the specified device as part of the boot process as if it was listed in `/etc/crypttab`. This option may be specified more than once in order to set up multiple devices. `rd.luks.uuid=` is honored only in the initrd, while `luks.uuid=` is honored by both the main system and in the initrd. |
| `luks.name=, rd.luks.name=` | Takes a LUKS super block UUID followed by an `=` and a name. This implies `rd.luks.uuid=` or `luks.uuid=` and will additionally make the LUKS device given by the UUID appear under the provided name. `rd.luks.name=` is honored only in the initrd, while `luks.name=` is honored by both the main system and in the initrd. |
| `luks.options=, rd.luks.options=` | Takes a LUKS super block UUID followed by an `=` and a string of options separated by commas as argument. This will override the options for the given UUID. If only a list of options, without a UUID, is specified, they apply to any UUIDs not specified elsewhere, and without an entry in `/etc/crypttab`. `rd.luks.options=` is honored only by initial RAM disk (initrd) while `luks.options=` is honored by both the main system and in the initrd. |
| `fstab=, rd.fstab=` | Defaults to "yes". If "no", causes the generator to ignore any mounts or swap devices configured in `/etc/fstab`. `rd.fstab=` is honored only in the initrd, while `fstab=` is honored by both the main system and the initrd. |
| `root=` | Configures the operating system's root filesystem to mount when running in the initrd. This accepts a device node path (usually `/dev/disk/by-uuid/...` or similar), or the special values `gpt-auto`, `fstab`, and `tmpfs`. Use `gpt-auto` to explicitly request automatic root file system discovery via `systemd-gpt-auto-generator`. Use `fstab` to explicitly request automatic root file system discovery via the initrd `/etc/fstab` rather than via kernel command line. Use `tmpfs` in order to mount a tmpfs file system as root file system of the OS. This is useful in combination with `mount.usr=` in order to combine a volatile root file system with a separate, immutable `/usr/` file system. Also see `systemd.volatile=` below. |
| `rootfstype=` | Takes the root filesystem type that will be passed to the mount command. `rootfstype=` is honored by the initrd. |
| `mount.usr=` | Takes the `/usr/` filesystem to be mounted by the initrd. If `mount.usrfstype=` or `mount.usrflags=` is set, then `mount.usr=` will default to the value set in `root=`. Otherwise, this parameter defaults to the `/usr/` entry found in `/etc/fstab` on the root filesystem. |
| `mount.usrfstype=` | Takes the `/usr` filesystem type that will be passed to the mount command. |
| `systemd.volatile=` | Controls whether the system shall boot up in volatile mode. |
| `systemd.swap=` | Takes a boolean argument or enables the option if specified without an argument. If disabled, causes the generator to ignore any swap devices configured in `/etc/fstab`. Defaults to enabled. |
## Misc
### Cause a kernel panic
To manually cause a kernel panic run:
```sh
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
```
