Hi Laurent,
Yes, initially I am booting up with minimal initramfs. But later I want the change the rootfs to other partition which contains more features and libraries.
I did go through the pivot_root option. Can you please share an example how to change the root using the same.
It would be very beneficial.
Thanks in advance .. :)
Regards,
Kanishka Dutta

Hello Kanishka,
Are you booting on an initramfs ? If you are, just ignore my message.
If you are not, then switch_root is not the best/simplest way to change
root filesystems; you could have more success with pivot_root instead.
