If you unset CMDLINE to make _getcmdline re-read /etc/cmdline and
/etc/cmdline.d/*, CMDLINE_ETC and CMDLINE_ETC_D would keep their
contents.
This is a serious problem if you have (e.g.) "ip=eth0:dhcp" in
/etc/cmdline.d/net.conf, because getargs ip= will return
"ip=eth0:dhcp ip=eth0:dhcp" and then parse-ip-opts.sh will die() because
you have two configurations for eth0.
If you're using a static network config, you'll want to keep your
nameservers around when NM starts. Write DNS1 (and DNS2, DNS3, etc..)
into the ifcfg file.
Thanks to Mark Hamzy <hamzy@us.ibm.com>
and Will Woods <wwoods@redhat.com> for the patch.
Basically, s390 is the only place I've ever seen TERM=dumb, and it's too
dumb to handle '\r', so --progress-bar produces waaaaay too much output.
The normal progress meter only prints something once per second, so
that's reasonable on terminals where '\r' doesn't work.

Every time url-lib gets imported we end up making the list of handlers
longer with redundant entries. That's silly - we shouldn't add items
that already exist.
Note that this means you'll have to manipulate the handler list yourself
if you want to change the position/priority of existing handlers.
Sometimes some hook script will need to be before the cleanup hook scripts
For example dhclient killing, nfs cleanup, etc. must not happen before kdump
because it will use their fuctionalities.
So here introduce a new hook pre-pivot-cleanup, all cleanup scripts will go there.
that means pre-pivot hook is splited to two hooks pre-pivot and pre-pivot-cleanup

Qemu/KVM provides virtfs, a paravirtualised filesystem that is
implemented by running the Plan 9 folder sharing protocol over
virtio.
Make booting with root=virtfs:foobar use the virtfs filesystem
with mount tag 'foobar' as root filesystem, to allow booting
virtual machines off virtfs.
Note that this only handles 9p over virtio (i.e. virtfs), and
doesn't attempt to handle mounting 9p filesystems over TCP/IP,
for example.

Currently dracut uses lvm.conf as found in the system and modifies only
global/locking_type setting. As there's a new feature introduced - the lvmetad
daemon, dracut should disable its use as well by setting "global/use_lvmetad=0"
(patch attached).
Otherwise, there's a warning message issued:
dracut: WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory.
Falling back to internal scanning.

Another solution could be searching in directories found at
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf or adding a new parameter. Here is a patch
which adds a new --libdirs parameter, and also a new inst_libdir_file
function which will try to expand metacharacters on each lib
directory:
inst_libdir_file "libdevmapper-event-lvm*.so"
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.
