With hostonly enabled, only modules that are currently
loaded are included in the initrd. Modules which are
explicitly listed in modules-load.d do not need to
be filtered that way. Fix for boo#962224.
systemd sets /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to use systemd-coredump.
However, systemd-coredump is missing from initrd, making dumping
the core in initrd impossible by default.
Reference: bsc#1054809
Both 'utmp' and 'root' groups are mentioned in tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf
and as such should be included.
It's probably better to have something equiv to inst_rule_group_owner()
for udev rules which parses out users and groups and adds them to the
passwd/group db respectively.
Could also rely on sysusers but as the initramfs is static in this
sense, it's more efficient to pre-define the users IMO.
If journald.conf already contains Storage=persistent, journald will
write to /var/log/journal/, which ends up at /run/initramfs/log/journal/
after switching root. We want to make sure early boot logs are written
to /run/log/journal/ so they can be flushed to /var/log/journal/ after
switching root.
Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now.
Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd.
Dracut additions to the systemd initrd are in 98dracut-systemd.
