dracut allows passing --mount option which mounts the specified devices.
But it does not wait for these devices to show up and mounting will fail
if devices do not show up by the time "mount" was called.
I am writing some patches to support kdump on iscsi target and I noticed
that one of the initqueue script was not called as we found the root
device and broke out of main loop.
There are two possible enancements to this patch.
- Introduce a time limited wait (rd.timeout something along the lines of
rd.retry). That will allow kdump to try to dump to a backup target if
primary targets fails to come up.
- Wait for UUID= and LABEL= to show up too. Right now kdump converts
UUID= and LABEL= to respective devices and passes /dev/* to dracut
--mount option. So I am not introducing the wait for UUID= or LABEL=
in this patch.

also fixup the logic what and when to mount.
first initramfs/etc/fstab is mounted
$NEWROOT/etc/fstab.sys takes precendence over initramfs/etc/fstab.sys
If /etc/fstab.sys does not exist installing fstab-sys module will fail.
Fix this by checking use_fstab and fstab_lines as well

fstab-sys now also handles device passed by dracut argument "--mount"
The "--mount" mount point is possible not exist in $NEWROOT. Thus mount it
in initramfs if mount point is not exist in real rootfs
--add-fstab [FILE] Add file to the initramfs fstab
--mount "[DEV] [MP] [FSTYPE] [FSOPTS]"
Mount device [DEV] on mountpoint [MP] with filesystem
[FSTYPE] and options [FSOPTS] in the initramfs
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
This patch mainly adds fsck functionality to fstab-sys, with additional
sanity checks (checking for device existence, verifying fstype via
det_fs).

A new dracut module to implement fstab.sys handling
This module implements fstab.sys handling. This has to happen after the root
mount and before the nfsroot-cleanup pre-pivot at least. I've made to happen at
the beginning of the pre-pivot scripts, although it should maybe be at the end
of the mount scripts. This latter would be harder to do because the actual
mount is currently done by 99mount-root.sh and there is no 2 digit integer
higher than 99 :-(
There are perhaps other ways of achieving this end, such as having the
nfsroot-cleanup trawl through the newroot's /etc/fstab and auto-magically
figure out if there are any mounts which are pre-requisites for the
/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs mount and do them first. Likewise post pivot,
/etc/rc.sysinit could figure out of there are any pre-requisite mounts for
/var/lib/stateless/{writeable,state} before doing those mounts. In short, make
it the responsibility of anything doing a mount to check if there are any
pre-requisites in /etc/fstab and mount them first. However, this spreads the
changes needed over more places, so I favour the fstab.sys approach. Also, who
knows what other uses administartors may have put fstab.sys to? and this undoes
a regression caused by the move from mkinitrd to dracut.
