switch_root

SWITCH_ROOT(8)						       System Administration						    SWITCH_ROOT(8)

NAME

       switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree

SYNOPSIS

       switch_root [-hV]

       switch_root newroot init [arg...]

DESCRIPTION

       switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev and /sys to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process.

       WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show help and exit

       -V, --version
	      show version number and exit

RETURN VALUE

       switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

NOTES

       switch_root  will  fail	to  function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet
       this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point:

	      mount --bind $DIR $DIR

SEE ALSO

       mount(8) chroot(2) init(8) mkinitrd(8)
