This makes the ramdisk always mount some kind of /dev,
and then try to move it to the new root.
This unbreaks handling of nodes created pre-udev likefor example lvm does.
This can be considered good practice, likely less chance that nodes
created in the ramdisk disapperes when switching root.
Some applications (mostly debugging/benchmarking) also needs this to
survive the switch_root.
Change vgscan and vgchange so they are done in one go.
Faster since less work for the lvm command.
vgscan is still needed for some cases like dmcrypt where
/etc/lvm/cache is created, but not updated with the unlocked devices.
Older systems featured full path to tty inside console=. This
is no longer valid and causes issues with fbcondecor. The new
expected format of console= is tty name with the directory part
stripped off: console=tty1 for example.
This patch has been in sabayon's genkernel for <2 years, but
should be tested out on non-standard environments.
mdassemble can't handle newer metadata formats and fails for partitioned
arrays, among other things.
This...
- replaces the bundled mdassemble with proper support for mdadm
- fixes raid autodetection/assemble when no mdadm.conf is available
- fixes a compilation failure for newer mdadm versions
Tested w/ genkernel 3.4.10.907 and mdadm 3.1.3.
RAID0 btrfs volumes can be detected only if btrfsctl is started.
Since embedding extra executables in initramfs is already possible,
add minimal btrfs support inside linuxrc.
There were several places where a mixture of sdelay and "sleep 10"
were called without worrying too much, resulting in slower boot
time, mainly. This commit should fix the mess and make some order
in the slowusb saga.
