Mounting, unmounting and then mounting a disk partition takes some
time.
On embedded systems such as OLPC XO where we disable fsck and fstab
reading, the root options are not going to change throughout the
mount_root() function, so remounting is time consuming and without
change.
Detect and optimize for this case so that the filesystem is only
mounted once.
fsck_single() operates directly on the device, so fstab is not
necessary. fs-lib functions make sure fscks don't complain.
Code is only commented out just in case I missed something.
To not pollute dracut-lib.sh, all the fsck related functions were moved
to fs-lib.sh. The functions available are as follows:
- fsck_single
this will detect/verify filesystem, check if it has necessary tools and
check the filesystem respecting additional flags (if any), using
specific "driver" (or falling back to generic one). Currently
available: fsck_drv_{com,xfs,std}. 'com' is used for tools following
typical subset of options/return codes (e.g. ext, jfs), 'std' is used
for "unknown" fs and doesn't assume it can be run non-interactively.
Please see comments around the code for more info.
- fsck_batch
this will check provided list of the devices;
Both of the above functions will fake empty fstab, to make generic fsck
not complain too much (excact devices are always provided on the command
line).
"Known" filesystems currently: ext234, reiser, jfs, xfs
- det_fs
Small bug fixed - as this function is meant to be called in $(), it may
not be verbose.
Current behaviour is:
- if detection is successful, use its result
- if detection is not successful, and filesystem is provided, return
the provided one; otherwise use auto
Previously, '-a' was added for ext[234] filesystems if other
conflicting flag were not present. It's being done automatically
in fsck_drv_com() now (also for jfs and reiser).
Use common fsck and det_fs code. Verify filesystem type more
aggressively, which has a chance to be more resistant to
accidental mistakes.
Also, there's no need to generate custom fstab for the sake of fsck
anymore.

We want all "/var/run" information to live in /dev/.run, until the real
root is mounted.
Therefore we mount a tmpfs on /dev/.run, which can/will be bind/move mounted
on /var/run later on.
It is not clearly documented, but apparently fsck
(or, probably, getmntent) is using backslash as
escape character.
Label containing slash is converted to \x2f but '\'
is eaten by fsck later. Escape '\' before writing
into fstab.
v2:
- fix sed expression
- use printf instead of echo because echo eats '\' as well
