Current TODO list, broken into things which are relevant for the
|
|
initramfs itself (/init et al) vs the generator

INITRAMFS TODO
|
|
--------------
|
|
* Currently, our switch_root command uses nash's switchroot. Getting
|
|
a reasonable switchroot implementation into util-linux-ng is a
|
|
pre-condition for support on other distros. pjones has a basic
|
|
implementation at
|
|
http://pjones.fedorapeople.org/mkstart/usr/lib/mkstart/switchroot.c
|
|
and I've asked kzak about util-linux inclusion
|
|
* The hard-coded list of udev rules that we care about is kind of
|
|
lame. See about getting /lib/udev/initrules.d or similar for storing
|
|
the rules that we care about in the initramfs. These could be
|
|
symlinks/hardlinks to the main rules in some cases or special-cased
|
|
ones
|
|
* LVM activation by udev is a bit of a large hammer right now
|
|
* dm-crypt (luks) depends on plymouth
|
|
* plymouth is hard-coded... this may be reasonable as modesetting goes
|
|
into the upstream kernel as a way to get off of fb-splash stuff, but I
|
|
can see this being a point of contention for other distros
|
|
* plymouth --show-splash should be done as a udev rule so that we
|
|
can switch modes first
|
|
* root= parsing should be done with udev creating /dev/root symlink
|
|
for us appropriately
|
|
* Support thaw (resume from hibernate)
|
|
* Currently requires the drop-nash branch of plymouth; get merged into
|
|
master and released
|
|
* Proving some support with a simple network based root would be good
|
|
* Do we just call dhclient, etc or try to get NetworkManager going?
|
|
* Would be nice not to have to kill and restart udev across switchroot
|
|
* mdraid
|
|
* dmraid
|
|
* multipath
|
|
* SELinux policy either needs to be loaded from the initramfs or /init
|
|
on the rootfs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GENERATOR TODO
|
|
--------------
|
|
* Needs to be written to look at the current kernel and get the
|
|
modules so it can be used on a running system.
|
|
* Move the needed pieces of Fedora mkinitrd's initrd-functions into
|
|
this tree. This should mainly be around shlib resolution/copying at
|
|
present
|
|
* We should just grab appropriate modules rather than all of them.
|
|
* Should default to basically all storage drivers, possibly allow to
|
|
specify less
|
|
* Maybe use class based specifiers (=ata, =net, etc) that we do
|
|
today with Fedora mkinitrd
|
|
* Certainly more as this is a huge hack right now
