Hi,

I'm creating a dracut module.
What's the suggested way to create an empty directory in the initramfs from the install script?

This will be used as a mount point by scripts in my module. I realise I could just mkdir it during boot, but it would seem better to create it in the initramfs.

Thanks,
Daniel

Have a look at modules/95nfs/install:

mkdir -p "$initdir/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs"
