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. + +For now, it is recommended that you disable the following busybox +configuration settings for best results with OpenRC. + +CONFIG_START_STOP_DAEMON -- The start-stop-daemon applet is not compatible with +start-stop-daemon in OpenRC. + +CONFIG_MOUNT -- The mount applet does not support the -O [no]_netdev options to +skip over or include network file systems when the -a option is present. + +CONFIG_UMOUNT -- The umount applet does not support the -O option along with -a. + +CONFIG_SWAPONOFF -- The swapon applet does not support the -e option +or recognize the nofail option in fstab. + +CONFIG_SETFONT -- The setfont applet does not support the -u option from kbd. + +CONFIG_IP -- The ip applet doesn't support the "scope" modifier for +"ip route add" and "ip address add". + +CONFIG_BB_SYSCTL -- The sysctl applet does not support the --system command +line switch. + +There is work to get most of these supported by busybox, so this file +will be updated as things change. |
