[SOLVED] Customize initramfs SD fallback

to merge idea like this into XBian I would prefer more generalised approach. let's define some fix points during initramfs run (after-virtual-filesystems; before-root-mount; after-network-done; before-move-root).

then we can create folders

Code:

/etc/xbian-initramfs/after-virtual-filesystems
......before-root-mount
......after-network-done
......before-move-root

then any script existing there will be always copied to initramfs and started at the specific stage. that way we never have to update init script or update-initramfs again. user can just put / remove scripts from the directories.

Totally with you! Please consider though I had to mount /boot inside my script as it was not mounted yet at that stage: to avoid any possible mess I unmounted it as well.

If those dirs did exist I would definitely have used them... I actually tried to use those named premount-init and premount-local under /etc/initramfs-tools but they aren't used for the purpose I thought....
