99 | --hostonly-i18n -> install_i18n_all=no | |
100 | - --no-reproducible to turn off reproducible mode | |
101 | - dracut-function.sh can now be sourced from outside of dracut | |
102 | - dracut-init.sh contains all functions, which only can be used from | |
103 | within the dracut infrastructure | |

121 | - fixup for checkisomd5 | |
122 | - increase timeout for checkisomd5 | |
123 | - use non-persistent metadata snapshots for transient overlays. | |
124 | - overflow support for persistent snapshot. | |
125 | - use non-persistent metadata snapshots. | |

127 | ||
128 | multipath: | |
129 | - multipath.conf included in hostonly mode | |
130 | - install all multipath path selector kernel modules | |
131 | ||
132 | iSCSI: | |
133 | - use the iBFT initiator name, if found and set | |
134 | - iscsid now present in the initramfs | |
135 | - iscsistart is done with systemd-run asynchrone to do things in | |
136 | paralllel. Also restarted for every new interface which shows up. | |
137 | - If rd.iscsi.waitnet (default) is set, iscsistart is done only | |
138 | after all interfaces are up. | |
139 | - If not all interfaces are up and rd.iscsi.testroute (default) is set, | |
140 | the route to a iscsi target IP is checked and skipped, if there is none. | |
141 | - If all things fail, we issue a "dummy" interface iscsiroot to retry | |
142 | everything in the initqueue/timeout. | |
143 | ||
144 | network: | |
145 | - added DHCP RENEW/REBIND | |
146 | - IPv4 DHCP lease time now optional (bootp) | |
147 | - IPv6 nfs parsing | |
148 | - fixed IPv6 route parsing | |

150 | - detect duplicate IPv4 addresses for static addresses | |
151 | - if interfaces are specified with its enx* name, bind the correspondent MAC to the interface name | |
152 | - if multiple "ip=" are present on the kernel command line "rd.neednet=1" is assumed | |
153 | - add options to tweak timeouts | |
154 | rd.net.dhcp.retry=<cnt> | |
155 | If this option is set, dracut will try to connect via dhcp | |
156 | <cnt> times before failing. Default is 1. | |
157 | ||
158 | rd.net.timeout.dhcp=<arg> | |
159 | If this option is set, dhclient is called with "-timeout <arg>". | |
160 | ||
161 | rd.net.timeout.iflink=<seconds> | |
162 | Wait <seconds> until link shows up. Default is 60 seconds. | |
163 | ||

188 | ========== | |
189 | - add missing dmsquash-generator | |
190 | ||
04bf862d HH |
191 | dracut-042 |
192 | ========== | |
193 | - fixed dmsetup shutdown | |
194 | - new kernel command line option "rd.live.overlay.thin" | |
195 | This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the | |
196 | dmsquash module. | |
197 | Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage | |
198 | of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which | |
199 | means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from | |
200 | memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram. | |
201 | - dmsquash: Add squashfs support to rd.live.fsimg | |
202 | Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in | |
203 | (compressed) archives. | |
204 | Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used. | |
205 | This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and | |
206 | then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg. | |
207 | - lvm: add support for LVM system id | |
208 | - split up the systemd dracut module | |
209 | Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now. | |
210 | Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd. | |
211 | Dracut additions to the systemd initrd are in 98dracut-systemd. | |
212 | - support for creating a UEFI boot executable via argument "--uefi" | |
213 | With an EFI stub, the kernel, the initramfs and a kernel cmdline can be | |
214 | glued together to a single UEFI executable, which can be booted by a | |
215 | UEFI BIOS. | |
216 | - network: split out kernel-network-modules, now in 90kernel-network-modules | |
217 | - support for ethernet point-to-point connections configured via DHCP | |
218 | - kernel-modules: install all HID drivers | |
219 | - dracut.pc pkg-config file | |
220 | - mount /dev, /dev/shm and /run noexec | |

235 | - new "rd.timeout" to specify the systemd JobTimeoutSec for devices | |
236 | - if $initrd/etc/cmdline.d/* has a "root=" and the kernel cmdline does not, | |
237 | generate a mount unit for it | |
238 | - increased the initqueue timeout for non systemd initramfs to 180s | |
239 | - $initrd/etc/cmdline.d/ hostonly files are now generated for NFS | |
240 | - make use of systemd-hibernate-resume, if available | |
241 | - fixed ldconfig parsing for hwcap output | |
242 | - network: add support for comma separated autoconf options like ip=eth0:auto6,dhcp | |
243 | - new parameter "rd.live.overlay.size" to specify the overlay for live images | |
244 | - changed the test suite for the new sfdisk syntax | |

278 | dracut-038 |
279 | ========== | |
280 | - "rd.cmdline=ask" will ask the user on the console to enter additional | |
281 | kernel command line parameters | |
282 | - "rd.hostonly=0" removes all "hostonly" added custom files, | |
283 | which is useful in combination with "rd.auto" or other specific parameters, | |
284 | if you want to boot on the same hardware, but the compiled in configuration | |
285 | does not match your setup anymore | |
286 | - inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which logs all | |
287 | installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used to remove those | |
288 | files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line | |
289 | - strstr now only does literal string match, | |
290 | please use strglob and strglobin for globs | |

440 | that means the udev database does not have to populated | |
441 | and the initramfs can be built in a chroot with | |
442 | /sys /dev /proc mounted | |
443 | - renamed dracut_install() to inst_multiple() for consistent naming | |
444 | - if $libdirs is unset, fall back to ld.so.cache paths | |
445 | - always assemble /usr device in initramfs | |
446 | - bash module added (disable it, if you really want dash) | |
447 | - continue to boot, if the main loop times out, in systemd mode | |
448 | - removed inst*() shell pure versions, dracut-install binary is in charge now | |
449 | - fixed ifcfg file generation for vlan | |
450 | - do not include adjtime and localtime anymore | |
451 | - fixed generation of zfcp.conf of CMS setups | |
452 | - install vt102 terminfo | |
453 | dracut_install() is still there for backwards compat | |
454 | - do not strip files in FIPS mode | |
455 | - fixed iBFT interface configuration | |
456 | - fs-lib: install fsck and fsck.ext* | |
457 | - shutdown: fixed killall_proc_mountpoint() | |
458 | - network: also wait for ethernet interfaces to setup | |
459 | - fixed checking for FIPS mode | |

673 | ========== | |
674 | - fixed systemd in the initramfs (requires systemd >= 187) | |
675 | - dracut-install: massive speedup with /var on the same filesystem with COW copy | |
676 | - dracut-install: moved to /usr/lib/dracut until it becomes a general purpose tool | |
677 | - new options: "rd.usrmount.ro" and "rd.skipfsck" | |

682 | - give emergency_shell if /usr mount failed | |
683 | - dracut now uses getopt: | |
684 | * options can be position independent now!! | |
685 | * we can now use --option=<arg> | |
686 | - added option "--kver=<kernel-version>", and the image location can be omitted | |

692 | to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore. !!!!! | |
693 | - resume: moved the resume process to the initqueue. | |
694 | This should prevent accidently mounting the root file system. | |

1114 | Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> |
1115 | [<image>...] | |
1116 | Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the | |
1117 | command | |

1134 | ========== | |
1135 | - dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments | |
3b403b32 | 1136 | |
0de91060 HH |
1137 | --kernel-only |
1138 | only install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
3b403b32 | 1139 | |
0de91060 HH |
1140 | --no-kernel |
1141 | do not install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
3b403b32 | 1142 | |
0de91060 HH |
1143 | All kernel module related install commands moved from "install" |
1144 | to "installkernel". | |
3b403b32 | 1145 | |
0de91060 HH |
1146 | For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified |
1147 | modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules | |
1148 | which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in. | |
3b403b32 | 1149 | |
0de91060 HH |
1150 | The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel |
1151 | modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have | |
1152 | to replace one image. | |
3b403b32 | 1153 | |
0de91060 HH |
1154 | Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can |
1155 | look like this: | |

1187 | dracut-0.4 | |
1188 | ========== | |
1189 | - bugfixes | |
1190 | - firmware loading support | |
1191 | - new internal queue (initqueue) | |
1192 | initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted | |
3b403b32 | 1193 | |
0de91060 | 1194 | init now has the following points to inject scripts: |
3b403b32 | 1195 | |
0de91060 HH |
1196 | /cmdline/*.sh |
1197 | scripts for command line parsing | |
3b403b32 | 1198 | |
0de91060 HH |
1199 | /pre-udev/*.sh |
1200 | scripts to run before udev is started | |
3b403b32 | 1201 | |
0de91060 HH |
1202 | /pre-trigger/*.sh |
1203 | scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled | |
3b403b32 | 1204 | |
0de91060 HH |
1205 | /initqueue/*.sh |
1206 | runs in parallel to the udev trigger | |
1207 | Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. | |
1208 | If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script | |
1209 | will be removed after it was run. | |
1210 | If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can | |
1211 | process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. | |
1212 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
1213 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
1214 | a timeout. | |
1215 | Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". | |
3b403b32 | 1216 | |
0de91060 HH |
1217 | /pre-mount/*.sh |
1218 | scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted | |
1219 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
1220 | and mounts in the udev events | |
3b403b32 | 1221 | |
0de91060 HH |
1222 | /mount/*.sh |
1223 | scripts to mount the root filesystem | |
1224 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
1225 | and mounts in the udev events | |
1226 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
1227 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
1228 | a timeout. | |
3b403b32 | 1229 | |
0de91060 HH |
1230 | /pre-pivot/*.sh |
1231 | scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs | |
1232 | disappears | |
1233 | All processes started before should be killed here. | |
3b403b32 | 1234 | |
0de91060 HH |
1235 | The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new |
1236 | mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a | |
1237 | udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev | |
1238 | queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. | |
