i get that remount -rw of / has to await completion of fsck of /, but i wonder if mountall runs fsck even before the pivot_root happens. and i wonder if anything can get mounted before the remount -rw, like perhaps the /run init could be moved sooner. mounting anything before the pivot_root seems unlikely to fly, tho ya never know. early login easy, just start /etc/init/ssh.conf "on startup". and live with the caveats of early login! perhaps tmux worth another try. i'd run into something it couldn't do, tho i forget what. i'm feeling tempted to introduce a feature in screen to restore its /run/screen/*/* pipe if it disappears. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
