+- no more prelinking
+- scan and install "external" kernel modules
+- fixed instmods with zero input
+- rdsosreport: best effort to strip out passwords
+- introduce tri-state hostonly mode
+
+ Add a new option --hostonly-mode which accept an <mode> parameter, so we have a tri-state hostonly mode:
+
+ * generic: by passing "--no-hostonly" or not passing anything.
+ "--hostonly-mode" has no effect in such case.
+ * sloppy: by passing "--hostonly --hostonly-mode sloppy". This
+ is also the default mode when only "--hostonly" is given.
+ * strict: by passing "--hostonly --hostonly-mode strict".
+
+ Sloppy mode is the original hostonly mode, the new introduced strict
+ mode will allow modules to ignore more drivers or do some extra job to
+ save memory and disk space, while making the image less portable.
+
+ Also introduced a helper function "optional_hostonly" to make it
+ easier for modules to leverage new hostonly mode.
+
+ To force install modules only in sloppy hostonly mode, use the form:
+
+ hostonly="$(optional_hostonly)" instmods <modules>

+dmsquash-live:
+- fixed livenet-generator execution flag
+ and include only, if systemd is used
+- fixed dmsquash-live-root.sh for cases where the fstype of the liveimage is squashfs
+- fixed typo for rootfs.img
+- enable the use of the OverlayFS for the LiveOS root filesystem
+ Patch notes:
+ Integrate the option to use an OverlayFS as the root filesystem
+ into the 90dmsquash-live module for testing purposes.
+
+ The rd.live.overlay.overlayfs option allows one to request an
+ OverlayFS overlay. If a persistent overlay is detected at the
+ standard LiveOS path, the overlay & type detected will be used.
+
+ Tested primarily with transient, in-RAM overlay boots on vfat-
+ formatted Live USB devices, with persistent overlay directories
+ on ext4-formatted Live USB devices, and with embedded, persistent
+ overlay directories on vfat-formatted devices. (Persistent overlay
+ directories on a vfat-formatted device must be in an embedded
+ filesystem that supports the creation of trusted.* extended
+ attributes, and must provide valid d_type in readdir responses.)
+
+ The rd.live.overlay.readonly option, which allows a persistent
+ overlayfs to be mounted read only through a higher level transient
+ overlay directory, has been implemented through the multiple lower
+ layers feature of OverlayFS.
+
+ The default transient DM overlay size has been adjusted up to 32 GiB.
+ This change supports comparison of transient Device-mapper vs.
+ transient OverlayFS overlay performance. A transient DM overlay
+ is a sparse file in memory, so this setting does not consume more
+ RAM for legacy applications. It does permit a user to use all of
+ the available root filesystem storage, and fails gently when it is
+ consumed, as the available free root filesystem storage on a typical
+ LiveOS build is only a few GiB. Thus, when booted on other-
+ than-small RAM systems, the transient DM overlay should not overflow.
+
+ OverlayFS offers the potential to use all of the available free RAM
+ or all of the available free disc storage (on non-vfat-devices)
+ in its overlay, even beyond the root filesystem available space,
+ because the OverlayFS root filesystem is a union of directories on
+ two different partitions.
+
+ This patch also cleans up some message spew at shutdown, shortens
+ the execution path in a couple of places, and uses persistent
+ DM targets where required.
+
+dmraid:
+- added "nowatch" option in udev rule, otherwise udev would reread partitions for raid members
+- allow booting from degraded MD RAID arrays

+dmsquash:
+- fixup for checkisomd5
+- increase timeout for checkisomd5
+- use non-persistent metadata snapshots for transient overlays.

+
+multipath:
+- multipath.conf included in hostonly mode
+- install all multipath path selector kernel modules
+
+iSCSI:
+- use the iBFT initiator name, if found and set
+- iscsid now present in the initramfs
+- iscsistart is done with systemd-run asynchrone to do things in
+ paralllel. Also restarted for every new interface which shows up.
+- If rd.iscsi.waitnet (default) is set, iscsistart is done only
+ after all interfaces are up.
+- If not all interfaces are up and rd.iscsi.testroute (default) is set,
+ the route to a iscsi target IP is checked and skipped, if there is none.
+- If all things fail, we issue a "dummy" interface iscsiroot to retry

+
+network:
+- added DHCP RENEW/REBIND
+- IPv4 DHCP lease time now optional (bootp)
+- IPv6 nfs parsing
+- fixed IPv6 route parsing

+dracut-043
+==========
+- add missing dmsquash-generator
+
+dracut-042
+==========
+- fixed dmsetup shutdown
+- new kernel command line option "rd.live.overlay.thin"
+ This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
+ dmsquash module.
+ Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
+ of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
+ means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
+ memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.
+- dmsquash: Add squashfs support to rd.live.fsimg
+ Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in
+ (compressed) archives.
+ Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used.
+ This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and
+ then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg.
+- lvm: add support for LVM system id
+- split up the systemd dracut module
+ Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now.
+ Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd.

+- support for creating a UEFI boot executable via argument "--uefi"
+ With an EFI stub, the kernel, the initramfs and a kernel cmdline can be
+ glued together to a single UEFI executable, which can be booted by a
+ UEFI BIOS.

+- support for ethernet point-to-point connections configured via DHCP
+- kernel-modules: install all HID drivers

+- $initrd/etc/cmdline.d/ hostonly files are now generated for NFS
+- make use of systemd-hibernate-resume, if available

+- speed up ldconfig_paths()
+- more ARM modules
+- fixed inst*() functions and "-H" handling
+- fixed bridge setup
+- added --force-drivers parameter and force_drivers=+ config option
+ to enforce driver loading at early boot time
+- documented "iso-scan/filename" usage in grub
+- various bugfixes
+
+dracut-038
+==========
+- "rd.cmdline=ask" will ask the user on the console to enter additional
+ kernel command line parameters
+- "rd.hostonly=0" removes all "hostonly" added custom files,
+ which is useful in combination with "rd.auto" or other specific parameters,
+ if you want to boot on the same hardware, but the compiled in configuration
+ does not match your setup anymore
+- inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which logs all
+ installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used to remove those
+ files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line
+- strstr now only does literal string match,
+ please use strglob and strglobin for globs

+- break at switch_root only for bare rd.break and not for any rd.break=...
+- nbd: make use of "--systemd-mark", otherwise it gets killed on switch_root
+- fcoe-uefi: fixed cmdline parameter generation
+- iscsi: deprecate "ip=ibft", use "rd.iscsi.ibft[=1]" from now on
+- "lsinitrd -m" now only lists the dracut modules of the image
+- a lot of small bugfixes

-- Syslog support for dracut
+- Syslog support for dracut
This module provides syslog functionality in the initrd.
This is especially interesting when complex configuration being
used to provide access to the device the rootfs resides on.
dracut-0.7
==========
- dracut: strip binaries in initramfs
-
+
--strip
strip binaries in the initramfs (default)
-
+
--nostrip
do not strip binaries in the initramfs
- dracut-catimages
-
+
Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image>
[<image>...]
Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the
command
line and /boot/dracut/
-
+
-f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file.
-i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add
(default: /boot/dracut/)
dracut-0.6
==========
- dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments
-
+
--kernel-only
only install kernel drivers and firmware files
-
+
--no-kernel
do not install kernel drivers and firmware files
-
+
All kernel module related install commands moved from "install"
to "installkernel".
-
+
For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified
modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules
which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in.
-
+
The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel
modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have
to replace one image.
-
+
Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can
look like this:
-
+
title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-20090722.img /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img /initrd-config.img
-
+
initrd-20090722.img
the image provided by the initrd rpm
one old backup version is kept like with the kernel
-
+
initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img
the image provided by the kernel rpm
-
+
initrd-config.img
optional image with local configuration files
- dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules
-
+
-k, --kmoddir [DIR]
specify the directory, where to look for kernel modules
- firmware loading support
- new internal queue (initqueue)
initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted
-
+
init now has the following points to inject scripts:
-
+
/cmdline/*.sh
scripts for command line parsing
-
+
/pre-udev/*.sh
scripts to run before udev is started
-
+
/pre-trigger/*.sh
scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled
-
+
/initqueue/*.sh
runs in parallel to the udev trigger
Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue.
filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after
a timeout.
Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job".
-
+
/pre-mount/*.sh
scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted
NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created
and mounts in the udev events
-
+
/mount/*.sh
scripts to mount the root filesystem
NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created
If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root
filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after
a timeout.
-
+
/pre-pivot/*.sh
scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs
disappears
All processes started before should be killed here.
-
+
The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new
mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a
udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev
