# pivot_root ## Identification `pivot_root` is the Linux system operation most closely matching `root pivot`; it changes a namespace's root filesystem. `pivot.mobile` may be a domain/project; `CAFEBReef` and the overwritten three-letter string are not recognized with sufficient confidence. ## Notebook evidence - [[Scanned_20260730-1659#PDF page 57 — CAFEBReef, root pivot, and pivot.mobile|PDF page 57: CAFEBReef, root pivot, and pivot.mobile]] — `pivot_root` is a Linux operation used to change a process namespace’s root filesystem, especially during boot, containers, and initramfs transitions. The written “root pivot” plausibly points there, while `pivot.mobile` may be a domain or project. `CAFEBReef` and the overwritten three-letter mark remain unverified identifiers. ## Relationships and overlays The source places this record in an evidence cluster with [[CAFEBReef|CAFEBReef]] · [[pivot.mobile|pivot.mobile]] · [[Unresolved Identifier|Unresolved Identifier]]. The occurrence contributes to the notebook's larger model of [[Identity Continuity|identity continuity]], [[Device Sovereignty|device sovereignty]], and [[Continuity Architecture|continuity architecture]]. ## Evidentiary status and open leads Search the corpus for CAFEBReef and pivot.mobile; compare with Linux `pivot_root` and mobile-rooting notes. ## Source - [[Scanned_20260730-1659|Scanned_20260730-1659]]
