When installed the initramfs will check to see if any partitions with a label of 'RESCUE_VOL' are attached. If such a volume is attached, it will boot off that volume rather than the root volume. . This is useful in a cloud environment, when the user is able to attach and detach volumes to a running system, but has no other mechanism for interrupting of fixing a failed boot. It is analogous to inserting a rescue CD into a system to recover from failure. Package: cloud-initramfs-growroot Architecture: all Depends: cloud-utils (>= 0.26-2~), initramfs-tools, fdisk | util-linux (<< 2.29.2-3~), ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Description: automatically resize the root partition on first boot This package adds functionality to an initramfs built by initramfs-tools. When installed, the initramfs will repartition a disk to make the root volume consume all space that follows it. . You most likely do not want this package unless you know what you are doing. It is primarily interesting in a virtualized environment when a disk can provisioned with a size larger than its original size. In this case, with this package installed, you can automatically use the new space without requiring a reboot to re-read the partition table. Package: overlayroot Architecture: all Depends: cryptsetup, cryptsetup-bin, initramfs-tools, ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Suggests: haveged Description: use an overlayfs on top of a read-only root filesystem This package adds functionality to an initramfs built by initramfs-tools. When installed and configured, the initramfs will mount an overlayfs filesystem on top of a read-only root volume. . The changes can be written to a in-memory temporary filesystem, a filesystem on an existing block device, or a dmcrypt encrypted block device. Package: cloud-initramfs-dyn-netconf Architecture: all Depends: initramfs-tools, ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends} Description: write a network interface file in /run for BOOTIF This package provides an initramfs module that will write a simple network interfaces formatted file to /run/network/interfaces with entries for any devices that were configured during initramfs.
