I presume by trying to boot using it.
You cannot compare the initfsram files created as dracut contains the microcode image also. Furthermore neither the wiki [1] not the man page [2] is a mention on the HOOKS [3] that mkinitcpio uses. Is there something similar for dracut or it's not required For example: will it automatically execute `btrfs device scan` as the `btrfs` HOOK would do in mkinitcpio?
I dunno, try it and see? Though my understanding is, dracut is less configurable and far more automatic probe-y. Chances are if it detects a btrfs filesystem of any sort, it will assume you need to probe for multi-device btrfs volumes at boot, and do so without asking or being configured.
