Since it is possible to configure busybox to not include +these applets or to prefer the standalone counterparts, OpenRC does not +attempt to support the busybox applets. + +All of these apply to busybox 1.20.2, which is the current version of +busybox as of this writing. + +1. The start-stop-daemon applet is not compatible with start-stop-daemon +in OpenRC. Please make sure CONFIG_START_STOP_DAEMON is not set to y in +the configuration file you use to build busybox. + +2. The -O option for the mount applet does not support the [no]_netdev +options from util-linux for handling network file systems. + +3. The umount applet does not support the -O option from util-linux. + +4. The swapon applet does not support the -e option from util-linux. + +5. the setfont applet does not support the -u option from kbd. + +There is work to get most of these supported by busybox, so this file +will be updated as things change. |
