dmsquash-live:
- Support a flattened squashfs.img
dracut-systemd:
- Start systemd-vconsole-setup before dracut-cmdline-ask
iscsi:
- do not install all of /etc/iscsi unless hostonly
- start iscsid even w/o systemd
multipath:
- fixed shutdown
network:
- configure NetworkManager to use dhclient
mdraid:
- fixed uuid handling ":" versus "-"
stratis:
- Add additional binaries
new modules:
- 00warpclock
- 99squash
Adds support for building a squashed initramfs
- 35network-legacy
the old 40network
- 35network-manager
alternative to 35network-legacy
- 90kernel-modules-extra
adds out-of-tree kernel modules
testsuite:
- now runs on travis

dracut-048
==========
dracut.sh:
- fixed finding of btrfs devices
- harden dracut against BASH_ENV environment variable
- no more prelinking
- scan and install "external" kernel modules
- fixed instmods with zero input
- rdsosreport: best effort to strip out passwords
- introduce tri-state hostonly mode
Add a new option --hostonly-mode which accept an <mode> parameter, so we have a tri-state hostonly mode:
* generic: by passing "--no-hostonly" or not passing anything.
"--hostonly-mode" has no effect in such case.
* sloppy: by passing "--hostonly --hostonly-mode sloppy". This
is also the default mode when only "--hostonly" is given.
* strict: by passing "--hostonly --hostonly-mode strict".
Sloppy mode is the original hostonly mode, the new introduced strict
mode will allow modules to ignore more drivers or do some extra job to
save memory and disk space, while making the image less portable.
Also introduced a helper function "optional_hostonly" to make it
easier for modules to leverage new hostonly mode.
To force install modules only in sloppy hostonly mode, use the form:
hostonly="$(optional_hostonly)" instmods <modules>
dracut-install:
- don't error out, if no modules were installed

- add cmdline rd.luks.partuuid
- add timeout option rd.luks.timeout
shutdown:
- sleep a little, if a process was killed
network:
- introduce ip=either6 option
iscsi:
- replace iscsistart with iscsid
qeth_rules:
- new module to copy qeth rules
multipath-hostonly:
- merged back into multipath
mdraid:
- fixed case if rd.md.uuid is in ID_FS_UUID format

dmsquash-live:
- fixed livenet-generator execution flag
and include only, if systemd is used
- fixed dmsquash-live-root.sh for cases where the fstype of the liveimage is squashfs
- fixed typo for rootfs.img
- enable the use of the OverlayFS for the LiveOS root filesystem
Patch notes:
Integrate the option to use an OverlayFS as the root filesystem
into the 90dmsquash-live module for testing purposes.
The rd.live.overlay.overlayfs option allows one to request an
OverlayFS overlay. If a persistent overlay is detected at the
standard LiveOS path, the overlay & type detected will be used.
Tested primarily with transient, in-RAM overlay boots on vfat-
formatted Live USB devices, with persistent overlay directories
on ext4-formatted Live USB devices, and with embedded, persistent
overlay directories on vfat-formatted devices. (Persistent overlay
directories on a vfat-formatted device must be in an embedded
filesystem that supports the creation of trusted.* extended
attributes, and must provide valid d_type in readdir responses.)
The rd.live.overlay.readonly option, which allows a persistent
overlayfs to be mounted read only through a higher level transient
overlay directory, has been implemented through the multiple lower
layers feature of OverlayFS.
The default transient DM overlay size has been adjusted up to 32 GiB.
This change supports comparison of transient Device-mapper vs.
transient OverlayFS overlay performance. A transient DM overlay
is a sparse file in memory, so this setting does not consume more
RAM for legacy applications. It does permit a user to use all of
the available root filesystem storage, and fails gently when it is
consumed, as the available free root filesystem storage on a typical
LiveOS build is only a few GiB. Thus, when booted on other-
than-small RAM systems, the transient DM overlay should not overflow.
OverlayFS offers the potential to use all of the available free RAM
or all of the available free disc storage (on non-vfat-devices)
in its overlay, even beyond the root filesystem available space,
because the OverlayFS root filesystem is a union of directories on
two different partitions.
This patch also cleans up some message spew at shutdown, shortens
the execution path in a couple of places, and uses persistent
DM targets where required.

- skip gpg files in microcode generation
initramfs:
- ensure pre-mount (and resume) run before root fsck
- add --online option to initqueue
qemu:
- fixed virtual machine detection
lvm:
- remove all quirk arguments for lvm >= 2.2.221
dmsquash:
- fixup for checkisomd5
- increase timeout for checkisomd5
- use non-persistent metadata snapshots for transient overlays.
- overflow support for persistent snapshot.
- use non-persistent metadata snapshots.
- avoid an overlay for persistent, uncompressed, read-write live installations.
multipath:
- multipath.conf included in hostonly mode
- install all multipath path selector kernel modules
iSCSI:
- use the iBFT initiator name, if found and set
- iscsid now present in the initramfs
- iscsistart is done with systemd-run asynchrone to do things in
paralllel. Also restarted for every new interface which shows up.
- If rd.iscsi.waitnet (default) is set, iscsistart is done only
after all interfaces are up.
- If not all interfaces are up and rd.iscsi.testroute (default) is set,
the route to a iscsi target IP is checked and skipped, if there is none.
- If all things fail, we issue a "dummy" interface iscsiroot to retry
everything in the initqueue/timeout.
network:
- added DHCP RENEW/REBIND
- IPv4 DHCP lease time now optional (bootp)
- IPv6 nfs parsing
- fixed IPv6 route parsing
- rd.peerdns=0 parameter to disable DHCP nameserver setting
- detect duplicate IPv4 addresses for static addresses

- add options to tweak timeouts
rd.net.dhcp.retry=<cnt>
If this option is set, dracut will try to connect via dhcp
<cnt> times before failing. Default is 1.
rd.net.timeout.dhcp=<arg>
If this option is set, dhclient is called with "-timeout <arg>".
rd.net.timeout.iflink=<seconds>
Wait <seconds> until link shows up. Default is 60 seconds.
rd.net.timeout.ifup=<seconds>
Wait <seconds> until link has state "UP". Default is 20 seconds.

dracut-043
==========
- add missing dmsquash-generator
dracut-042
==========
- fixed dmsetup shutdown
- new kernel command line option "rd.live.overlay.thin"
This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
dmsquash module.
Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.
- dmsquash: Add squashfs support to rd.live.fsimg
Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in
(compressed) archives.
Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used.
This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and
then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg.
- lvm: add support for LVM system id
- split up the systemd dracut module
Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now.
Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd.
Dracut additions to the systemd initrd are in 98dracut-systemd.
- support for creating a UEFI boot executable via argument "--uefi"
With an EFI stub, the kernel, the initramfs and a kernel cmdline can be
glued together to a single UEFI executable, which can be booted by a
UEFI BIOS.

- support for ethernet point-to-point connections configured via DHCP

dracut-038
==========
- "rd.cmdline=ask" will ask the user on the console to enter additional
kernel command line parameters

which is useful in combination with "rd.auto" or other specific parameters,
if you want to boot on the same hardware, but the compiled in configuration
does not match your setup anymore
- inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which logs all
installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used to remove those

- iscsi: deprecate "ip=ibft", use "rd.iscsi.ibft[=1]" from now on
- "lsinitrd -m" now only lists the dracut modules of the image
- a lot of small bugfixes

- dracut: hostonly_cmdline variable and command line switch
Toggle hostonly cmdline storing in the initramfs
--hostonly-cmdline:
Store kernel command line arguments needed in the initramfs
