@@ -8,21 +8,24 @@ counterparts. 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.
+For now, it is recommended that you disable the following busybox
+configuration settings for best results with OpenRC.
-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.
+CONFIG_START_STOP_DAEMON -- The start-stop-daemon applet is not compatible with
+start-stop-daemon in OpenRC.
-2. The -O option for the mount applet does not support the [no]_netdev
-options from util-linux for handling network file systems.
+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.
-3. The umount applet does not support the -O option from util-linux.
+CONFIG_UMOUNT -- The umount applet does not support the -O option along with -a.
-4. The swapon applet does not support the -e option from util-linux.
+CONFIG_SWAPONOFF -- The swapon applet does not support the -e option
+or recognize the nofail option in fstab.
-5. the setfont applet does not support the -u option from kbd.
+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".
There is work to get most of these supported by busybox, so this file
will be updated as things change.
