I'm trying to understand what is the difference of making Alpine installation medium as read-only type (LiveCD) and as a standard disk mode (where the OS state can be saved). I've seen the modloop
option when the author of this article (https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Create_UEFI_boot_USB) configured loader entries for UEFI boot mode:
Contents of loader/entries/alpine.conf title Alpine Linux linux /boot/vmlinuz-hardened initrd /boot/initramfs-hardened options modloop=/boot/modloop-hardened modules=loop,squashfs,sd-mod,usb-storage quiet
And the question is how options listed in this stanza
modloop=/boot/modloop-hardened modules=loop,squashfs,sd-mod
relate to each other and what do they mean?
