16 | Description | |
17 | ----------- | |
18 | _dracut.conf_ is loaded during the initialisation phase of dracut. Command line | |
c4e098a5 HH |
19 | parameter will overwrite any values set here. |
20 | ||
ef9ddb91 HH |
21 | _*.conf_ files are read from /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d and |
22 | /etc/dracut.conf.d. Files with the same name in /etc/dracut.conf.d will replace | |
23 | files in /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d. | |
24 | The files are then read in alphanumerical order and will overwrite parameters | |
25 | set in _/etc/dracut.conf_. Each line specifies an attribute and a value. A '#' | |
888d53f2 HH |
26 | indicates the beginning of a comment; following characters, up to the end of the |
27 | line are not interpreted. | |
28 | ||
