In the kernel comments PARTUUID is shown using uppercase A-F:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/init/do_mounts.c?id=HEAD#n183
However, dracut tries to use the value of PARTUUID directly in
/dev/disks/by-partuuid/ which expects the hex to be lowercase. This will
cause root to never be found, oops!
Fix dracut so it can, like the Kernel, accept either casing.
Untested but I added a hack on my local system that was similar.
xfs and reiserfs (among other) supports storing journal data to a
separate device. Unfortunately, XFS requires this information to boot
properly (reiserfs can embed the information in its metadata but you
might want to override it).

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
