Lol don’t feel bad, I can do advanced crazy shit with Linux like pivoting the running OS into RAM so I can unmount the boot drive to do whatever without ever rebooting
But I still [Web Search] commands a shit ton of the time LMAO
Ok. Show me the pivot trick. I usually mess with the boot disk through a reboot, but it’s been a while (resized the root to clear space for a part) and it was not without anxiety. Interactive work while the host is up is way better.
So you build a chroot in a ramdisk, restart everything active in there and then run the pivot-root that I’ve seen in the middle of every boot I’ve ever watched. And that’s it?
It’s got a back-out in every stage too, maybe. Fantastic. I’ll add that to the list for Science Projects I need to do.
