Hi, thanks for the detailed instructions for testing. I am not sure though, whether any of this is applicable on a system already running rawhide? Reading this, I surmise that I have to do the following steps once these packages hit rawhide. Can you comment on the correctness? > Currently installed systems need some manual steps to convert the > current system to match the layout of rawhide/Fedora 17. After that, > the system can continue to be updated with YUM as usual. > Download and install the most recent dracut package from rawhide: > # yum --enablerepo=rawhide update dracut This will hit me soon automatically (as it is in rawhide proper, and I update regularly). > Update the installed initramfs image for your current kernel, and > instruct dracut to include the dracut module to convert your current > filesystem: # dracut --force --add usrmove > > If dracut detects ‘rd.usrmove’ on the kernel command line at bootup, > it starts the filesystem conversion of the root filesystem. > > Change the following kernel commandline parameter directly in the > bootloader menu, which is shown during bootup, or edit the line > in /etc/grub*.cfg. > - remove “ro” > - append “rw” to let dracut mount your root filesystem writeable > - remove “rhgb” to hide the graphical bootsplash > - append “rd.info” to get a more verbose output from dracut > - append “rd.usrmove” to enable the /usr-move conversion script in > dracut These two steps are needed as well, however... > - append “selinux=0” for now, because the relabeling in a converted > F16 system does not seem to work properly at this moment ... do you know if this is applicable for a correctly labeled rawhide as well? > Any files with conflicting names, which the conversion could not > resolve, will be backed up to files named *.usrmove~ residing > in /usr/lib, /usr/lib64, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.

Can I update dracut now, and wait for the rest of the tag to hit rawhide before adding the rd.usrmove flag?
