What is the purpose of an initramfs during the Linux system start?
- It loads required modules and starts sub sytems like LVM to make the root file system accessible to the kernel
- It moves the kernel from normal system memory to initram memory to speed up kernel access
- It copies the root file system’s content to RAM to speed up the system and reduce writes to disk
- It creates a ram disk to store volatile data for directories like /tmp to reduce writes to disk
