If an unsupported filesystem is detected, rkt will print a warning message and continue preparing the pod by falling back in non-overlay mode as described above: 8 9 ``` 10 # rkt prepare --insecure-options=image docker://busybox --exec=/bin/sh 11 image: using image from local store for image name coreos.com/rkt/stage1-coreos:1.30.0 12 image: remote fetching from URL "docker://busybox" 13 Downloading sha256:8ddc19f1652 [===============================] 668 KB / 668 KB 14 prepare: disabling overlay support: "unsupported filesystem: missing d_type support" 15 ``` 16 17 The following conditions can lead to non-overlay mode: 18 19 The data directory (usually `/var/lib/rkt`) is on ... 20 - an AUFS filesystem 21 - a ZFS filesystem 22 - a XFS filesystem having `ftype=0` 23 - a file system where the `d_type` field is set to `DT_UNKNOWN`, see getdents(2) 24 25 In this way, the pod is ready to be launched immediately by the [run-prepared][run-prepared] command. 26 27 Running `rkt prepare` + `rkt run-prepared` is semantically equivalent to running [rkt run][run]. 28 Therefore, the supported arguments are mostly the same as in `run` except runtime arguments like `--interactive` or `--mds-register`. 29 30 ## Example 31 32 ``` 33 # rkt prepare coreos.com/etcd:v2.0.10 34 rkt prepare coreos.com/etcd:v2.0.10 35 rkt: using image from local store for image name coreos.com/rkt/stage1-coreos:1.30.0 36 rkt: searching for app image coreos.com/etcd:v2.0.10 37 rkt: remote fetching from url https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/download/v2.0.10/etcd-v2.0.10-linux-amd64.aci 38 prefix: "coreos.com/etcd" 39 key: "https://coreos.com/dist/pubkeys/aci-pubkeys.gpg" 40 gpg key fingerprint is: 8B86 DE38 890D DB72 9186 7B02 5210 BD88 8818 2190 41 CoreOS ACI Builder <release@coreos.com> 42 Key "https://coreos.com/dist/pubkeys/aci-pubkeys.gpg" already in the keystore 43 Downloading signature from https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/download/v2.0.10/etcd-v2.0.10-linux-amd64.aci.asc 44 Downloading signature: [=======================================] 819 B/819 B 45 Downloading ACI: [=============================================] 3.79 MB/3.79 MB 46 rkt: signature verified: 47 CoreOS ACI Builder <release@coreos.com> 48 c9fad0e6-8236-4fc2-ad17-55d0a4c7d742 49 ``` 50 51 ## Options 52 53 | Flag | Default | Options | Description | 54 | --- | --- | --- | --- | 55 | `--user-annotation` | none | annotation add to the app's UserAnnotations field | Set the app's annotations (example: '--annotation=foo=bar'). | 56 | `--caps-remove` | none | capability to remove (example: '--caps-remove=CAP\_SYS\_CHROOT,CAP\_MKNOD') | Capabilities to remove from the process's capabilities bounding set, all others from the default set will be included | 57 | `--caps-retain` | none | capability to retain (example: '--caps-remove=CAP\_SYS\_ADMIN,CAP\_NET\_ADMIN') | Capabilities to retain in the process's capabilities bounding set, all others will be removed | 58 | `--environment` | none | environment variables add to the app's environment variables | Set the app's environment variables (example: '--environment=foo=bar'). | 59 | `--exec` | none | Path to executable | Override the exec command for the preceding image. | 60 | `--group` | root | gid, groupname or file path | Group override for the preceding image (example: '--group=group') | 61 | `--inherit-env` | `false` | `true` or `false` | Inherit all environment variables not set by apps. | 62 | `--user-label` | none | label add to the apps' UserLabels field | Set the app's labels (example: '--label=foo=bar'). | 63 | `--mount` | none | Mount syntax (ex. `--mount volume=NAME,target=PATH`) | Mount point binding a volume to a path within an app. See [Mounting Volumes without Mount Points][vol-no-mount]. | 64 | `--name` | none | Name of the app | Set the name of the app (example: '--name=foo').

Requires [contained network][contained]. Syntax: `--port=NAME:HOSTPORT` The NAME is that given in the ACI.
