[systemd-devel] Exploring Minimal Systemd in Initramfs for Faster Boot

[Dharma.B at microchip.com]

Hi Team,

I'm exploring the possibility of splitting the systemd binary to 
optimize boot time before and after switching to the root filesystem.

I’m aware that the systemd binary is quite large and may not fit in the 
initramfs, but is it feasible to have a minimal version of systemd that 
can invoke essential services and continue tracking them after 
transitioning to the main root filesystem?

This approach is aimed at speeding up the boot process. I’m unsure if 
this is possible, which is why I’m seeking guidance from the systemd 
mailing list.
