NAME

       ostree-admin-init-fs - Initialize a new root filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       ostree admin init-fs [OPTIONS...] {PATH}

DESCRIPTION

       Initialize an empty physical root filesystem in the designated PATH, with normal toplevels
       and correct permissions for each directory. Primarily useful for operating system
       installers.

OPTIONS

       --modern
           Equivalent to --epoch=1.

       --epoch
           This accepts an integer value in the range [0-1], inclusive. The default is zero for
           compatibility.

           When set to 1, the command will skip adding a number of toplevel "API filesystems"
           such as /proc to the toplevel of the physical root. These should be unnecessary, as
           they should only be mounted in the final deployment root. The main exception is /boot,
           which may need to be mounted in some setups before the target root.

           Epoch 2 is the same as 1, except that the toplevel ostree directory is mode 0700,
           denying access from unprivileged code. This is a new recommended best practice as it
           avoids access to old configuration files in /etc in previous deployments, as well as
           potentially old setuid binaries in /ostree/repo.

EXAMPLE

       $ mkdir /example

       $ ostree admin init-fs --epoch=1 /example

       $ ls /example

       boot
