Greetings,
As you may recall, last Thursday was the Dracut Test Day [1]. The event
was well attended. Thanks to all participants for lending their time,
feedback and bug reports. Also, kudos to Alex Todorov and Jan Stodola
who helped write and execute the root=nbd [2] and root=nfs [3] dracut
test cases. And ... extra thanks to Harald Hoyer who stayed up well
into the evening/morning to provide dracut debugging guidance.
As always, the full test results matrix can be seen on the wiki, but
I've tried to highlight the test configurations, bug reports and test
documentation created from the event below.
The following root device configurations were requested for testing.
* root=/dev/sda1 - PASS
* root=LABEL= - PASS
* root=UUID= - PASS
* root=nfs - PASS
* root=nbd - PASS
* root=iscsi - PASS
* root=lvm+encryption - WARN (see 520109)
* root=lvm+raid+encryption - WARN (see 520109)
* root=/dev/md0 - FAIL (see 513267, 518793)
* root=live_image - FAIL (see 520207)
