19 | dracut-032 |
20 | ========== | |
21 | - add parameter --print-cmdline | |
22 | This prints the kernel command line parameters for the current disk | |
23 | layout. | |
24 | $ dracut --print-cmdline | |
25 | rd.luks.uuid=luks-e68c8906-6542-4a26-83c4-91b4dd9f0471 | |
26 | rd.lvm.lv=debian/root rd.lvm.lv=debian/usr root=/dev/mapper/debian-root | |
27 | rootflags=rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered | |
28 | rootfstype=ext4 | |
29 | - dracut.sh: add --persistent-policy option and persistent_policy conf option | |
30 | --persistent-policy <policy>: | |
31 | Use <policy> to address disks and partitions. | |
32 | <policy> can be any directory name found in /dev/disk. | |
33 | E.g. "by-uuid", "by-label" | |
34 | - dracut now creates the initramfs without udevadm | |
35 | that means the udev database does not have to populated | |
36 | and the initramfs can be built in a chroot with | |
37 | /sys /dev /proc mounted | |
38 | - renamed dracut_install() to inst_multiple() for consistent naming | |
39 | - if $libdirs is unset, fall back to ld.so.cache paths | |
40 | - always assemble /usr device in initramfs | |
41 | - bash module added (disable it, if you really want dash) | |
42 | - continue to boot, if the main loop times out, in systemd mode | |
43 | - removed inst*() shell pure versions, dracut-install binary is in charge now | |
44 | - fixed ifcfg file generation for vlan | |
45 | - do not include adjtime and localtime anymore | |
46 | - fixed generation of zfcp.conf of CMS setups | |
47 | - install vt102 terminfo | |
48 | dracut_install() is still there for backwards compat | |
49 | - do not strip files in FIPS mode | |
50 | - fixed iBFT interface configuration | |
51 | - fs-lib: install fsck and fsck.ext* | |
52 | - shutdown: fixed killall_proc_mountpoint() | |
53 | - network: also wait for ethernet interfaces to setup | |
54 | - fixed checking for FIPS mode | |

267 | dracut-021 |
268 | ========== | |
269 | - fixed systemd in the initramfs (requires systemd >= 187) | |
270 | - dracut-install: massive speedup with /var on the same filesystem with COW copy | |
271 | - dracut-install: moved to /usr/lib/dracut until it becomes a general purpose tool | |
272 | - new options: "rd.usrmount.ro" and "rd.skipfsck" | |
273 | - less mount/umount | |
274 | - apply "ro" on the kernel command line also to /usr | |
275 | - mount according to fstab, if neither "ro" or "rw" is specified | |
276 | - skip fsck for xfs and btrfs. remount is enough | |
277 | - give emergency_shell if /usr mount failed | |
278 | - dracut now uses getopt: | |
279 | * options can be position independent now!! | |
280 | * we can now use --option=<arg> | |
281 | - added option "--kver=<kernel-version>", and the image location can be omitted | |
282 | # dracut --kver 3.5.0-0.rc7.git1.2.fc18.x86_64 | |
283 | - dracut.sh: for --include copy also the symbolic links | |
284 | - man pages: lsinitrd and mkinitrd added | |
285 | - network: We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does | |
286 | that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename | |
287 | to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore. !!!!! | |
288 | - resume: moved the resume process to the initqueue. | |
289 | This should prevent accidently mounting the root file system. | |
290 | - testsuite: add support for: make V=1 TESTS="01 20 40" check | |
291 | $ sudo make V=1 clean check | |
292 | now runs the testsuite in verbose mode | |
293 | ||
294 | $ sudo make TESTS="01 20 40" clean check | |

3b403b32 | 674 | - Syslog support for dracut |
d889c019 HH |
675 | This module provides syslog functionality in the initrd. |

700 | - dracut: strip binaries in initramfs | |
3b403b32 | 701 | |
0de91060 HH |
702 | --strip |

705 | --nostrip |
706 | do not strip binaries in the initramfs | |
707 | - dracut-catimages | |
3b403b32 | 708 | |
0de91060 HH |
709 | Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> |
710 | [<image>...] | |
711 | Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the | |
712 | command | |
713 | line and /boot/dracut/ | |
3b403b32 | 714 | |
0de91060 HH |
715 | -f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file. |
716 | -i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add | |
717 | (default: /boot/dracut/) | |
718 | -o, --overlaydir Overlay directory, which contains files that | |
719 | will be used to create an additional image | |

728 | dracut-0.6 | |
729 | ========== | |
730 | - dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments | |
3b403b32 | 731 | |
0de91060 HH |
732 | --kernel-only |
733 | only install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
3b403b32 | 734 | |
0de91060 HH |
735 | --no-kernel |
736 | do not install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
3b403b32 | 737 | |
0de91060 HH |
738 | All kernel module related install commands moved from "install" |
739 | to "installkernel". | |
3b403b32 | 740 | |
0de91060 HH |
741 | For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified |
742 | modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules | |
743 | which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in. | |
3b403b32 | 744 | |
0de91060 HH |
745 | The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel |
746 | modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have | |
747 | to replace one image. | |
3b403b32 | 748 | |
0de91060 HH |
749 | Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can |
750 | look like this: | |
3b403b32 | 751 | |

764 | initrd-config.img |
765 | optional image with local configuration files | |

767 | - dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
3b403b32 | 768 | |
0de91060 HH |

771 | ||

777 | - more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8)) | |
778 | - a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline) | |
779 | - bridged network boot | |
780 | - a lot of new command line parameter | |
781 | ||
782 | dracut-0.4 | |
783 | ========== | |
784 | - bugfixes | |
785 | - firmware loading support | |
786 | - new internal queue (initqueue) | |
787 | initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted | |
3b403b32 | 788 | |
0de91060 | 789 | init now has the following points to inject scripts: |
3b403b32 | 790 | |
0de91060 HH |
791 | /cmdline/*.sh |
792 | scripts for command line parsing | |
3b403b32 | 793 | |
0de91060 HH |
794 | /pre-udev/*.sh |
795 | scripts to run before udev is started | |
3b403b32 | 796 | |
0de91060 HH |
797 | /pre-trigger/*.sh |
798 | scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled | |
3b403b32 | 799 | |
0de91060 HH |
800 | /initqueue/*.sh |
801 | runs in parallel to the udev trigger | |
802 | Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. | |
803 | If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script | |
804 | will be removed after it was run. | |
805 | If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can | |
806 | process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. | |
807 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
808 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
809 | a timeout. | |
810 | Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". | |
3b403b32 | 811 | |
0de91060 HH |
812 | /pre-mount/*.sh |
813 | scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted | |
814 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
815 | and mounts in the udev events | |
3b403b32 | 816 | |
0de91060 HH |
817 | /mount/*.sh |
818 | scripts to mount the root filesystem | |
819 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
820 | and mounts in the udev events | |
821 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
822 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
823 | a timeout. | |
3b403b32 | 824 | |
0de91060 HH |
825 | /pre-pivot/*.sh |
826 | scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs | |
827 | disappears | |
828 | All processes started before should be killed here. | |
3b403b32 | 829 | |
0de91060 HH |
830 | The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new |
831 | mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a | |
832 | udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev | |
833 | queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. | |
