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.
This allows creation of initramfs images which contain a Live system.
The primary use for this is keeping very large initramfs-based systems
(e.g. anaconda, the Fedora installer) compressed in-memory, by using a
compressed filesystem image like squashfs or btrfs.
dmsquash-live-genrules.sh will initqueue dmsquash-live-root itself
(rather than making udev rules) if the given live "device" is actually
an existing, plain file.
parse-dmsquash-live.sh will only accept paths that end in ".img".
dmsquash-live-root will only handle images named "*squashfs.img",
"*ext3fs.img", or "*btrfs.img".
btrfsctl is being replaced by the btrfs command in the upstream
tools, so change accordingly. Also, if we're using the btrfs module
we should probably make sure the btrfs driver gets installed.
inst_dir used the following to try to resolve a relative path:
[[ $target = ${target##*/} ]] && target="${file%/*}/$target"
inst_dir $target
This will only match if $target has no slashes, so something like
/usr/bin -> ../sbin would result in: inst_dir ../sbin, or
/usr/share -> local/share would result in: inst_dir local/share
which is not going to do the right thing.
Instead, we resolve any non-absolute link, like so:
[[ $target == ${target#/} ]] && target=$(dirname "$file")/$target
Thus /usr/bin -> ../sbin results in: inst_dir /usr/../sbin, and
/usr/share -> local/share results in: inst_dir /usr/local/share
which is what you would expect.
Some versions of dash don't behave as expected with code like this:
while IFS=: read a b c; do
blah
done
Thanks to Eric Mertens who identified the issue.
The FIPS installkernel() relies on the instmods() return value. So only
return 0, if the module and its dependencies were actually installed
correctly.
Commit 172d85b9c9 caused following error:
./dracut-functions: line 307: cd: /tmp/initramfs.mP7cPY/tmp/initramfs.mP7cPY/lib64: No such file or directory
Patch removes beginning $initdir for symlink case.
Let inst_key_val usage agree with above patch :)
Also UNICODE is rather global console property, not font specific
(and if anything, is rather keyboard specific). Let it be just
vconsole.unicode

In Fedora selinux is now handled by systemd. If you want to enable
selinux by default, just add it to your /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf
with:
add_dracutmodules+=" selinux "
