I currently have a script that copy the content of a microSD card to the eMMC of a BeagleBone Black. Once the copy is done, I would like to switch root filesystem for the eMMC and finish installing packages.



How can I switch root filesystem? I've found switch_root and pivot_root commands, but no much example of how to use them.



My process would looks like this :



  • Insert microSD card into BeagleBone Black

  • Hold boot switch while applying power

  • rc.local copy microSD to eMMC

  • rc.local switch root filesystem from microSD to eMMC

  • rc.local continues installing (now on eMMC)

OS used is SlackwareARM 14.1.
