-dracut-023
-==========
-- resume from hibernate fixes
-- -N option for --no-hostonly
-- support for systemd crypto handling
-- new dracut module "crypt-loop"
-- deprecate the old kernel command line options
-- more documentation
-- honor CFLAGS for dracut-install build
-- multipath fixes
-- / is mounted according to rootflags parameter but forced ro at first.
- Later it is remounted according to /etc/fstab + rootflags parameter
- and "ro"/"rw".
-- support for xfs / reiserfs separate journal device
-- new "ro_mnt" option to force ro mount of / and /usr
-- root on cifs support
-- dracut-install: fixed issue for /var/tmp containing a symlink
-- only lazy resolve with ldd, if the /var/tmp partition is not mounted with "noexec"
-- i18n: fixed inclusion of "include" keymaps
-
-dracut-022
-==========
-- fixed host-only kernel module bug
-
-dracut-021
-==========
-- fixed systemd in the initramfs (requires systemd >= 187)
-- dracut-install: massive speedup with /var on the same filesystem with COW copy
-- dracut-install: moved to /usr/lib/dracut until it becomes a general purpose tool
-- new options: "rd.usrmount.ro" and "rd.skipfsck"
-- less mount/umount
-- apply "ro" on the kernel command line also to /usr
-- mount according to fstab, if neither "ro" or "rw" is specified
-- skip fsck for xfs and btrfs. remount is enough
-- give emergency_shell if /usr mount failed
-- dracut now uses getopt:
- * options can be position independent now!!
- * we can now use --option=<arg>
-- added option "--kver=<kernel-version>", and the image location can be omitted
- # dracut --kver 3.5.0-0.rc7.git1.2.fc18.x86_64
-- dracut.sh: for --include copy also the symbolic links
-- man pages: lsinitrd and mkinitrd added
-- network: We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does
- that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename
- to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore. !!!!!
-- resume: moved the resume process to the initqueue.
- This should prevent accidently mounting the root file system.
-- testsuite: add support for: make V=1 TESTS="01 20 40" check
- $ sudo make V=1 clean check
- now runs the testsuite in verbose mode
-
- $ sudo make TESTS="01 20 40" clean check
- now only runs the 01, 20 and 40 tests.
-

-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/)

- will be used to create an additional image
- --nooverlay Do not use the overlay directory
- --noimagedir Do not use the additional image directory
- -h, --help This message

- -v, --verbose Verbose output during the build process
-
-- s390 dasd support
-
-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
-
-
-
-dracut-0.5
-==========
-- more generic (all plymouth modules, all keyboards, all console fonts)
-- more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8))
-- a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline)
-- bridged network boot
-- a lot of new command line parameter
-
-dracut-0.4
-==========
-- bugfixes
-- 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.
- If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script
- will be removed after it was run.
- If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can
- process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger.
- 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.
- 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
- and mounts in the udev events
- 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
- queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue.
