dracut is not putting libraries like libmount and libblkid in the initramfs on my system for a few weeks now. Those initramfs' are not booting. Do you know a way to explicitly request that libraries be included in the initramfs? I haven't found a way in my research, and in fact that research says that if programs like mount are included in the initramfs, then the libraries needed by that executable will also be included automatically. But, it isn't happening. Which seems strange, since: $ ldd /usr/bin/mount /usr/bin/ldd: line 160: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error linux-vdso.so.1 => linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc9935e000) libmount.so.1 => /lib64/libmount.so.1 (0x00007fd3de77a000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x00007fd3de74a000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd3de572000) libblkid.so.1 => /lib64/libblkid.so.1 (0x00007fd3de532000) libpcre2-8.so.0 => /lib64/libpcre2-8.so.0 (0x00007fd3de492000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd3de83a000) mount is included by default in the initramfs, yet, # lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-5.19.0-0.rc4.20220701gita175eca0f3d7.36.20220727.fc37.x86_64.img | grep mount usrmount lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 20 18:03 etc/mtab -> /proc/self/mounts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jul 20 18:03 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Jul 20 18:03 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-pre-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1095 Jun 19 15:35 usr/bin/dracut-mount -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 508 Jun 19 15:35 usr/bin/dracut-pre-mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 49240 Jul 20 18:03 usr/bin/mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 36888 Jul 20 18:03 usr/bin/umount drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 20 18:03 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/mount drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jul 20 18:03 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/pre-mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 756 Jun 19 15:35 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 785 Jun 19 15:35 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1136 Jul 13 04:12 usr/lib/systemd/system/sys-kernel-config.mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 465 Jul 13 04:12 usr/lib/systemd/system/umount.target This is what an initramfs that boots looks like with respect to mount. # lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-5.19.0-0.rc4.20220701gita175eca0f3d7.36.20220703.fc37.x86_64.img | grep mount usrmount lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Apr 19 16:17 etc/mtab -> /proc/self/mounts lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Apr 19 16:17 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Apr 19 16:17 etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dracut-pre-mount.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1095 Feb 18 04:32 usr/bin/dracut-mount -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 508 Feb 18 04:32 usr/bin/dracut-pre-mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 49240 Apr 19 16:17 usr/bin/mount -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 36888 Apr 19 16:17 usr/bin/umount -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 292512 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib64/libmount.so.1.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib64/libmount.so.1 -> ../../lib64/libmount.so.1.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib64/libmount.so -> ../../lib64/libmount.so.1.1.0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/mount drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/dracut/hooks/pre-mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 772 Feb 18 04:32 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 801 Feb 18 04:32 usr/lib/systemd/system/dracut-pre-mount.service -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1136 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/systemd/system/sys-kernel-config.mount -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 465 Apr 19 16:17 usr/lib/systemd/system/umount.target Or failing that, do you know a way to edit the initramfs after it has been created, in order to add such libraries? In other words, a manual workaround. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
