10 default y
11 help
12 dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
13 Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
14 the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
15 buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
16 ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
17 are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you

637 help
638 Enable mounting of virtual file systems via external helpers.
639 E.g. "mount obexfs#-b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt" will in effect call
640 "obexfs -b00.11.22.33.44.55 /mnt"
641 Also "mount -t sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" will try
642 "sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" if simple mount syscall fails.
643 The idea is to use such virtual filesystems in /etc/fstab.

691 The pivot_root utility swaps the mount points for the root filesystem
692 with some other mounted filesystem. This allows you to do all sorts
693 of wild and crazy things with your Linux system and is far more
694 powerful than 'chroot'.
695
696 Note: This is for initrd in linux 2.4. Under initramfs (introduced
697 in linux 2.6) use switch_root instead.

741 to enable your swap space with the 'swapon' utility. The 'swapoff'
742 utility is used, typically at system shutdown, to disable any swap
743 space. If you are not using any swap space, you can leave this

753 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SWITCH_ROOT
754 bool "switch_root"
755 default y
756 help
757 The switch_root utility is used from initramfs to select a new
758 root device. Under initramfs, you have to use this instead of
759 pivot_root. (Stop reading here if you don't care why.)
760
761 Booting with initramfs extracts a gzipped cpio archive into rootfs
762 (which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved
763 or unmounted*, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead,
764 switch_root deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself),
765 does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and
766 then execs the specified init program.
767
768 * Because the Linux kernel uses rootfs internally as the starting
769 and ending point for searching through the kernel's doubly linked
770 list of active mount points. That's why.

776 When you want to remove a mounted filesystem from its current mount point,

794 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNT || BUSYBOX_CONFIG_UMOUNT
795 help
796 Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
797 filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices. The mount
798 command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead of a block
799 device, and transparently associate the file with a loopback device.
800 The umount command will also free that loopback device.
801
802 You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
803 with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
804 specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.
805 (If you don't want umount to free the loop device, use "umount -D".)

811 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
812 help
813 Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
814 partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
815 the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
816 the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
817 a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
818
819 The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
820 your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
821 If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
822 example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
823 features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
824 that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused
825 by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
826 that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
827
828 About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
829 your kernel.
