Dracut

Dracut is a replacement for nash/mkinitrd.

Dracut is a generic, modular initramfs generation tool that can be used across various distributions.

Replace nash/mkinitrd with a tool, that is maintained by a cross distribution community.

All functionality of nash/mkinitrd has to be implemented and tested in dracut. Still missing is netboot (also from iscsi) and proper raid support.

Use the created initrd on any machine to boot from any root partitions.

Switching root partitions should be more flexible.

none

Fallback to mkinitrd.

mkinitrd/nash has been replaced by dracut, which uses standard tools and scripts to boot from the root partition.
