Current File : //proc/self/root/etc/overlayroot.conf
# This is the overlayroot config file
# By default, overlayroot is not enabled.
# To enable overlayroot:
# 1) edit the 'overlayroot' definition below
# 2) reboot
#
# Supported values:
# * overlayroot=tmpfs or overlayroot=tmpfs:PARAMETERS
# write all changes to a temporary (ram only) backing device
# A tmpfs mount will be created, and usable filesystem can
# grow to 1/2 available memory.
#
# available parameters:
# * see COMMON PARAMETERS
#
# examples:
# overlayroot=tmpfs
# overlayroot=tmpfs:swap=1
#
# * overlayroot=DEVICE or overlayroot=device:PARAMETERS
# mount DEVICE as overlayfs and write changes there
# device must already have kernel mountalbe filesystem on it.
#
# available parameters are:
# * dev: default: "" [REQUIRED]
# use given device for backing filesystem.
# Note, 'overlayroot=/dev/vdb' is translated to
# 'overlayrooot=device:dev=/dev/vdb'
# * timeout: default: 0
# if 'dev' provided does not exist, wait up to many seconds for
# it to appear.
# * see COMMON PARAMETERS
#
# examples:
# overlayroot=/dev/xvdb
# overlayroot=/dev/vdb
# overlayroot=device:dev=/dev/sdb,timeout=180
# overlayroot=device:dev=LABEL=my-flashdrive,timeout=180
#
# * overlayroot=crypt:PARAMETERS
# use an encrypted [dmcrypt] device as the backing device. Parameters
# are comma delimited key=value pairs.
#
# available parameters are:
# * dev: default: "" [REQUIRED]
# use given device for backing filesystem.
# * mapname: default: "secure"
# the name of the map device to be created in /dev/mapper
# * pass: default: ""
# if not provided or empty, password is randomly generated
# the generated password will be stored for recovery in
# /run/initramfs/overlayroot.passwd
# * fstype: default: "ext4"
# mapname=mapper,pass=foo,fstype=ext4,mkfs=1
# * mkfs: default: 1
# 0: never create filesystem
# 1: if pass is given and mount fails, create a new one
# if no pass given, create new
# 2: if pass is given and mount fails, fail
# if no pass given, create new
# * timeout: default: 0
# if 'dev' provided does not exist, wait up to many seconds for
# it to appear.
# * see COMMON PARAMETERS
#
# examples:
# crypt:mapname=mapper,pass=foo,fstype=ext4,mkfs=1,dev=vdb
# crypt:mapname=mapper,pass=foo,fstype=ext3,mkfs=1,dev=/dev/disk/by-label/my-jumpdrive,timeout=120
# crypt:dev=xvdb
#
# * overlayroot=disabled
# if set explicitly to 'disabled', or an empty string, then
# overlayroot will do nothing.
#
#
# COMMON PARAMETERS:
# The following parameters are supported for each of overlayroot=
# values above.
# * swap: default: 0
# allowed values: 0, 1
# indicate if swap partitions should be allowed. By default swap entries
# are removed from /etc/fstab to disable swap.
# Swap *files* are always disabled, independent of this setting.
#
# * recurse: default: 1
# allowed values: 0, 1
# indicate if all mounts should be made read-only, or just /.
# if set to 1, then all filesystems will be mounted read-only.
# if set to 0, only root will be set to read-only, and changes
# to other filesystems will be permenant. For example, if
# /home is on a separate partition from / and recurse set to 0
# then changes to /home will go through to the original device.
#
# * debug: default: 0
# allowed values: 0, 1
# enable debug output if set to 1
#
# * dir: default: "/overlay"
# the directory under the filesystem to use for writes
# default is to use top level directory. For example, use
# 'dir=my-tests/run1' and later 'dir=my-tests/run2'
#
# * driver: default: "auto"
# This can be 'overlay' or 'overlayfs'. It will affect which filesystem
# is used to provide the overlay and the entries in fstab.
# The default value is almost certainly correct.
#
# overlayroot_cfgdisk:
# * default: 'disabled'
# If this variable is set, it references a disk/filesystem that
# may exist, and include a 'overlayroot.conf' file in it's root directory
# If a such a device exists, then it's overlayroot.conf file can
# set overlayroot as above.
#
# examples:
# * overlayroot_cfgdisk="LABEL=OROOTCFG"
# * overlayroot_cfgdisk="/dev/vdb"
#
# Note: if you enable this setting, then you must be careful to be sure
# that no filesystems are created that match this without your
# knowledge. This is because code on that filesystem is executed
# as root in the initramfs environment.
#
# Notes:
# * This file is managed by dpkg as a conffile, so changes to it
# will force dpkg config file prompts on package updates that contain a
# change. Instead of putting changes here, put them in
# /etc/overlayroot.local.conf
# * you can pass the same 'overlayroot=' parameters on the kernel
# command line, and they will override any values set here.
# This includes 'overlayroot=' or 'overlayroot=disabled' to disable
# a value set in this file.
# * if you specify crypt:dev=/dev/vdb, then DATA WILL BE LOST
# on /dev/vdb. A safer value would be to use
# crypt:dev=/dev/vdb,pass=somepassword,mkfs=0
# However, you would then have to have previously set up the luks device.
# Do that like the following:
# $ MAPNAME="secure"; DEV="/dev/vdg"; PASSWORD="foobar"
# $ sudo wipefs -a $DEV
# $ printf "%s" "$PASSWORD" |
# sudo cryptsetup luksFormat "${$DEV}" --key-file -
# $ printf "%s" "$PASSWORD" |
# sudo cryptsetup luksOpen "${DEV}" "${MAPNAME}" --key-file -
# $ sudo mke2fs -t "ext4" "/dev/mapper/${MAPNAME}"
#
# Security Note:
# IT IS INSECURE TO SET THIS PASSWORD HERE IN THIS CLEARTEXT CONFIGURATION
# FILE OR ON THE KERNEL COMMAND LINE.
# Randomly generated passwords are more secure, but you won't be able to
# read your encrypted disk on reboot.
# Randomly generated passwords are generated by calculating the sha512sum
# of a concatenation of:
# - stat -L /dev/* /proc/* /sys/*
# + some unpredictability of access/modify times of a number of kernel
# files, directories, and block devices
# - /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id
# + 16-bytes uuid, consider this a 'salt'
# - /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid
# + 16-bytes uuid, consider this psuedo randomness
# - /dev/urandom
# + 4096-bytes of psuedo randomness
# - $DEV
# + 4096-bytes from the head of the disk
# + security-paranoid users can write 4096-bytes of randomness to
# this device and specify mkfs=1 before rebooting into an
# crypt+overlayroot setup
# The result is stored in r-------- /dev/.initramfs/overlayroot.XXXXXXX,
# which is a tmpfs in memory.
