[PATCH 23/42] Check for logfile (--logfile option) and create it if necessary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: jloeser <jloeser@xxxxxxx>

If a logfile is passed to dracut via --logfile option and doesn't
exist, dracut doesn't create it and logs nothing. Instead, dracut
should try to touch the file and print a warning if creating fails.
