Installation mount points

Below you can find mount points that the installer uses during the installation.

Target system

The root of the target system is mounted under the directories /mnt/sysimage and /mnt/sysroot.

/mnt/sysimage

This is a mount point of the physical root of the target system. It is used to mount a device that contains / of the target system.

/mnt/sysroot

This is a mount point of the system root of the target system. It is used to mount / of the target system.

Usually, the physical root and the system root are the same, so /mnt/sysroot is attached to the same file system as /mnt/sysimage. The only exceptions are rpm-ostree systems, where the system root is changing based on the deployment. Then /mnt/sysroot is attached to a subdirectory of /mnt/sysimage.

It is recommended to use /mnt/sysroot for chroot.
