Hi All,
I'm trying to use volatile root feature for the first time.
This is my /etc/fstab:
```
#system mnt-pt type options dump fsck
PARTUUID=ad7ab716-2c0a-4dbe-9a28-06dc8bd0383b / ext4 defaults,barrier,noatime,data="" 1 1
PARTUUID=ad7ab716-2c0a-4dbe-9a28-06dc8bd0383b / ext4 defaults,barrier,noatime,data="" 1 1
```
And systemd grub configs are:
systemd_cmdline=net.ifnames=0 plymouth.enable=0 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=yes systemd.volatile=yes
Finally, kernel command is:
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-6.1.83-1.ph5 root=PARTUUID=ad7ab716-2c0a-4dbe-9a28-06dc8bd0383b init=/lib/systemd/systemd ro loglevel=3 quiet net.ifnames=0 plymouth.enable=0 systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=yes systemd.volatile=yes
And I regenerated initrd using `mkinitrd`
But when I rebooted my vm, it is going to emergency shell and shows /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt and I'm not able to get into emergency shell either, it just keeps looping in press Ctrl-D or enter root password prompt and entering root password or pressing Ctrl-D just prompts the same thing again.
Can someone assist me on what are the prerequisites for enabling volatile root?
- Kernel configs to be enabled
- File system types supported
- Kernel command line args needed
If someone can provide a step by step procedure on how to see this feature in action, it would really help.
