34 | ========== | |
35 | - resume from hibernate fixes | |
36 | - -N option for --no-hostonly | |
37 | - support for systemd crypto handling | |
38 | - new dracut module "crypt-loop" | |
39 | - deprecate the old kernel command line options | |
40 | - more documentation | |
41 | - honor CFLAGS for dracut-install build | |
42 | - multipath fixes | |
43 | - / is mounted according to rootflags parameter but forced ro at first. | |
44 | Later it is remounted according to /etc/fstab + rootflags parameter | |
45 | and "ro"/"rw". | |
46 | - support for xfs / reiserfs separate journal device | |
47 | - new "ro_mnt" option to force ro mount of / and /usr | |
48 | - root on cifs support | |
49 | - dracut-install: fixed issue for /var/tmp containing a symlink | |

ddf818da HH |
57 | dracut-021 |
58 | ========== | |
59 | - fixed systemd in the initramfs (requires systemd >= 187) | |
60 | - dracut-install: massive speedup with /var on the same filesystem with COW copy | |
61 | - dracut-install: moved to /usr/lib/dracut until it becomes a general purpose tool | |
62 | - new options: "rd.usrmount.ro" and "rd.skipfsck" | |
63 | - less mount/umount | |
64 | - apply "ro" on the kernel command line also to /usr | |
65 | - mount according to fstab, if neither "ro" or "rw" is specified | |
66 | - skip fsck for xfs and btrfs. remount is enough | |
67 | - give emergency_shell if /usr mount failed | |
68 | - dracut now uses getopt: | |
69 | * options can be position independent now!! | |
70 | * we can now use --option=<arg> | |
71 | - added option "--kver=<kernel-version>", and the image location can be omitted | |
72 | # dracut --kver 3.5.0-0.rc7.git1.2.fc18.x86_64 | |
73 | - dracut.sh: for --include copy also the symbolic links | |
74 | - man pages: lsinitrd and mkinitrd added | |
75 | - network: We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does | |
76 | that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename | |
77 | to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore. !!!!! | |
78 | - resume: moved the resume process to the initqueue. | |
79 | This should prevent accidently mounting the root file system. | |
80 | - testsuite: add support for: make V=1 TESTS="01 20 40" check | |
81 | $ sudo make V=1 clean check | |
82 | now runs the testsuite in verbose mode | |
83 | ||
84 | $ sudo make TESTS="01 20 40" clean check | |
85 | now only runs the 01, 20 and 40 tests. | |

446 | dracut-001 |
447 | ========== | |
448 | - better --hostonly checks | |
449 | - better lvm/mdraid/dmraid handling | |
450 | - fcoe booting support | |
451 | Supported cmdline formats: | |
452 | fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
453 | fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
3b403b32 | 454 | |
d889c019 HH |
455 | Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for |
456 | future use. | |
3b403b32 | 457 | |
d889c019 | 458 | Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase! |
3b403b32 | 459 | |
d889c019 HH |
460 | Examples: |
461 | fcoe=eth0:nodcb | |
462 | fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb | |
463 | ||
3b403b32 | 464 | - Syslog support for dracut |
d889c019 HH |
465 | This module provides syslog functionality in the initrd. |
466 | This is especially interesting when complex configuration being | |
467 | used to provide access to the device the rootfs resides on. | |
468 | ||

470 | dracut-0.9 |
471 | ========== | |
472 | - let plymouth attach to the terminal (nice text output now) | |
473 | - new kernel command line parameter "rdinfo" show dracut output, even when | |
474 | "quiet" is specified | |
475 | - rd_LUKS_UUID is now handled correctly | |
476 | - dracut-gencmdline: rd_LUKS_UUID and rd_MD_UUID is now correctly generated | |
477 | - now generates initrd-generic with around 15MB | |
478 | - smaller bugfixes | |
479 | ||

488 | dracut-0.7 | |
489 | ========== | |
490 | - dracut: strip binaries in initramfs | |
3b403b32 | 491 | |
0de91060 HH |
492 | --strip |
493 | strip binaries in the initramfs (default) | |
3b403b32 | 494 | |
0de91060 HH |
495 | --nostrip |
496 | do not strip binaries in the initramfs | |
497 | - dracut-catimages | |
3b403b32 | 498 | |
0de91060 HH |
499 | Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> |
500 | [<image>...] | |
501 | Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the | |
502 | command | |
503 | line and /boot/dracut/ | |
3b403b32 | 504 | |
0de91060 HH |
505 | -f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file. |
506 | -i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add | |
507 | (default: /boot/dracut/) | |
508 | -o, --overlaydir Overlay directory, which contains files that | |
509 | will be used to create an additional image | |
510 | --nooverlay Do not use the overlay directory | |
511 | --noimagedir Do not use the additional image directory | |
512 | -h, --help This message | |

518 | dracut-0.6 | |
519 | ========== | |
520 | - dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments | |
3b403b32 | 521 | |
0de91060 HH |
522 | --kernel-only |
523 | only install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
3b403b32 | 524 | |
0de91060 HH |
525 | --no-kernel |
526 | do not install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
3b403b32 | 527 | |
0de91060 HH |
528 | All kernel module related install commands moved from "install" |
529 | to "installkernel". | |
3b403b32 | 530 | |
0de91060 HH |
531 | For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified |
532 | modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules | |
533 | which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in. | |
3b403b32 | 534 | |
0de91060 HH |
535 | The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel |
536 | modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have | |
537 | to replace one image. | |
3b403b32 | 538 | |
0de91060 HH |
539 | Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can |
540 | look like this: | |
3b403b32 | 541 | |
0de91060 HH |
542 | title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586) |
543 | root (hd0,0) | |
544 | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet | |
545 | initrd /initrd-20090722.img /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img /initrd-config.img | |
3b403b32 | 546 | |
0de91060 HH |
547 | initrd-20090722.img |
548 | the image provided by the initrd rpm | |
549 | one old backup version is kept like with the kernel | |
3b403b32 | 550 | |
0de91060 HH |
551 | initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img |
552 | the image provided by the kernel rpm | |
3b403b32 | 553 | |
0de91060 HH |
554 | initrd-config.img |
555 | optional image with local configuration files | |
556 | ||
557 | - dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
3b403b32 | 558 | |
0de91060 HH |
559 | -k, --kmoddir [DIR] |
560 | specify the directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
561 | ||
562 | ||
563 | ||
564 | dracut-0.5 | |
565 | ========== | |
566 | - more generic (all plymouth modules, all keyboards, all console fonts) | |
567 | - more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8)) | |
568 | - a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline) | |
569 | - bridged network boot | |
570 | - a lot of new command line parameter | |
571 | ||
572 | dracut-0.4 | |
573 | ========== | |
574 | - bugfixes | |
575 | - firmware loading support | |
576 | - new internal queue (initqueue) | |
577 | initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted | |
3b403b32 | 578 | |
0de91060 | 579 | init now has the following points to inject scripts: |
3b403b32 | 580 | |
0de91060 HH |
581 | /cmdline/*.sh |
582 | scripts for command line parsing | |
3b403b32 | 583 | |
0de91060 HH |
584 | /pre-udev/*.sh |
585 | scripts to run before udev is started | |
3b403b32 | 586 | |
0de91060 HH |
587 | /pre-trigger/*.sh |
588 | scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled | |
3b403b32 | 589 | |
0de91060 HH |
590 | /initqueue/*.sh |
591 | runs in parallel to the udev trigger | |
592 | Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. | |
593 | If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script | |
594 | will be removed after it was run. | |
595 | If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can | |
596 | process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. | |
597 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
598 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
599 | a timeout. | |
600 | Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". | |
3b403b32 | 601 | |
0de91060 HH |
602 | /pre-mount/*.sh |
603 | scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted | |
604 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
605 | and mounts in the udev events | |
3b403b32 | 606 | |
0de91060 HH |
607 | /mount/*.sh |
608 | scripts to mount the root filesystem | |
609 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
610 | and mounts in the udev events | |
611 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
612 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
613 | a timeout. | |
3b403b32 | 614 | |
0de91060 HH |
615 | /pre-pivot/*.sh |
616 | scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs | |
617 | disappears | |
618 | All processes started before should be killed here. | |
3b403b32 | 619 | |
0de91060 HH |
620 | The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new |
621 | mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a | |
622 | udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev | |
623 | queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. | |
