Which of the following statements are correct about the initial RAM disk involved in the boot process of Linux? (Choose two.)
Which of the following statements are correct about the initial RAM disk involved in the boot process of Linux? (Choose two.)
An initramfs is a compressed file system archive, which can be unpacked to examine its contents. The kernel uses the initramfs temporarily before accessing the real root file system. Both statements accurately describe the role of initramfs in the Linux boot process and are correct.
For me A and D.
I have doubts about this question, you may be right but I can't find anything to corroborate it. Where can I find this information?
dwarf you're right

i think its a and d
AD for sure..here is why The kernel will then open the initramfs (initial RAM filesystem). The initramfs is an archive containing a filesystem used as a temporary root filesystem during the boot process. The main purpose of an initramfs file is to provide the required modules so the kernel can access the “real” root filesystem of the operating system" An initramfs is a compressed file system archive, which can be unpacked to examine its contents. The kernel uses the initramfs temporarily before accessing the real root file system
The Correct Answer is : A and D
Just in case I have read the book, Answers A and D >> based on this >> The kernel will then open the initramfs (initial RAM filesystem). The initramfs is an archive containing a filesystem used as a temporary root filesystem during the boot process. The main purpose of an initramfs file is to provide the required modules so the kernel can access the “real” root filesystem of the operating system.
Choose two answers but there are three correct answers (A, C and D), the temporary filesystem is created at boot time after decompress initramfs on /run/initramfs after system start and is necessary to shutdown the system, with it root filesystem can be unmounted properly.
I agree with you. We all agree D is true, but A: not sure how to uncompressed it, but sure it is possible. Then I checked /run/initramfs and effectively files modification data matches today corresponding with boot. If someone can tell why C is not true, I'll be thankful!
Hmm, I thought it was A and D.
A and D are correct
A and D are correct
A and D are correct
I go with A and D
A and D
D is not 'temporaneally', it's always ready also after the boot

Asked my teacher today he says its A + D for shure, he is a Linux Expert
AD is correct
Right it is A and D . Option C is incorrect because the contents of the initramfs are mounted in the /initrd directory during the boot process, not in /run/initramfs.
