A lot of systemd related modules have been added.
The integration test suite has finally ironed out the flaky behaviour due to the parallel device probing of the kernel,
which bit sometimes in the non-kvm github CI. So, if you see any /dev/sda
in a setup script with more than two hard drives,
chances are, that the script works on the wrong disk. Same goes for network interfaces.
This release is also fully shellcheck
'ed with ShellCheck-0.7.2
and indented with shfmt
and astyle
.
The dracut project builds test containers every day for:
opensuse/tumbleweed-dnf:latest
archlinux:latest
fedora:rawhide
fedora:latest
fedora:33
These containers can easily be used to run the integration tests locally without root permissions via podman
.
We hope this serves as a blueprint for your distribution's CI process.

dracut:
-
allow running on a cross-compiled rootfs
dracutsysrootdir is the root directory, file existence checks use it.
DRACUT_LDCONFIG can override ldconfig with a different one that works on the sysroot with foreign binaries.
DRACUT_LDD can override ldd with a different one that works with foreign binaries.
DRACUT_TESTBIN can override /bin/sh. A cross-compiled sysroot may use symlinks that are valid only when running on the target so a real file must be provided that exist in the sysroot.
DRACUT_INSTALL now supports debugging dracut-install in itself when run by dracut but without debugging the dracut scripts. E.g. DRACUT_INSTALL="valgrind dracut-install or DRACUT_INSTALL="dracut-install --debug".
DRACUT_COMPRESS_BZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LBZIP2, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZMA, DRACUT_COMPRESS_XZ, DRACUT_COMPRESS_GZIP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_PIGZ, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZOP, DRACUT_COMPRESS_ZSTD, DRACUT_COMPRESS_LZ4, DRACUT_COMPRESS_CAT: All of the compression utilities may be overridden, to support the native binaries in non-standard places.
DRACUT_ARCH overrides "uname -m".
SYSTEMD_VERSION overrides "systemd --version".
The dracut-install utility was overhauled to support sysroot via a new option -r and fixes for clang-analyze. It supports cross-compiler-ldd from https://gist.github.com/jerome-pouiller/c403786c1394f53f44a3b61214489e6f
DRACUT_INSTALL_PATH was introduced so dracut-install can work with a different PATH. In a cross-compiled environment (e.g. Yocto), PATH points to natively built binaries that are not in the host's /bin, /usr/bin, etc. dracut-install still needs plain /bin and /usr/bin that are relative to the cross-compiled sysroot.
DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_INSTALL_LOG_LEVEL were introduced so dracut-install can use different settings from DRACUT_LOG_TARGET and DRACUT_LOG_LEVEL.

introduce tri-state hostonly mode
Add a new option --hostonly-mode which accept an 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.

hostonly="$(optional_hostonly)" instmods

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.

- add missing dmsquash-generator
- 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.

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=
-
added option "--kver=", and the image location can be omitted
-
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

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

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.
