It was also actually pretty fun!

    I’ve never gotten pivot_root to work well / as documented. Major props for being able to pull this off. Hopefully you didn’t have much time where a connection-drop would require a reboot. SSH in the new root on an alternate port before the pivot? idk.

      Really? It seemed to go pretty smooth for me, SSH dropped once I think when I reloaded the services (expected), but after that I was able to connect back fine on the same port no issue

        It’s been a LONG time since I tried, but ISTR it complaining that it couldn’t move the old_root because it was in use? But, when I’d fuser it, the only think that was using it was my shell (using it as the current directory).
