dracut allows passing --mount option which mounts the specified devices.
But it does not wait for these devices to show up and mounting will fail
if devices do not show up by the time "mount" was called.
I am writing some patches to support kdump on iscsi target and I noticed
that one of the initqueue script was not called as we found the root
device and broke out of main loop.
There are two possible enancements to this patch.
- Introduce a time limited wait (rd.timeout something along the lines of
rd.retry). That will allow kdump to try to dump to a backup target if
primary targets fails to come up.
- Wait for UUID= and LABEL= to show up too. Right now kdump converts
UUID= and LABEL= to respective devices and passes /dev/* to dracut
--mount option. So I am not introducing the wait for UUID= or LABEL=
in this patch.
