- the use of sed is placeholder "hack" until lvm2 provides a proper
tool for changing lvm.conf
- lvm_scan.sh should run lvm commands with --ignorelockingfailure to
re-use lvm's existing initrd-specific logic; future lvm2 changes
will split this flag out into various new command-line switches
- no monitoring should be started from within initramfs
- NOTE: the same should apply to 90dmraid/install
- the correct types would be: '[ "blkext", 1 , "cciss0", 16 ]'
but lvm2 (>= 2.02.52) already properly supports both 'blkext' and
'cciss' (including cciss0 -> cciss7)

All modules now live in a subdirectory /modules.d. Each module is
self-contained -- it should contain everything that it will install
on the initrd. All modules must include a script named install, which
will be sourced by dracut. This script should do the actual file installation
using inst methods. The moddir variable will point to the full path to the
module dracut is currently working on.
As usual, this patch series applies on top of my previous patch series,
and is available as normalize-modules from http://git.fnordovax.org/dracut.
