Today I updated http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/dracut/ and the package README and TODO files. The next days, I will add iSCSI support and test various network setups.

Cool. I ahve been working on some test suite improvements (lvm on cryptroot on software raid5), and am working on making dracut actually work in that configuration. I will post patches to the mailing list once it works without manual hackery.
Next stop, all that over iscsi. Should be fun.

Glad to see this project isn't dead...
I've got a few boot-off-of-NFS patches together that use DHCP options to find the root, and let it be overridden by the command line. I've also got a piece that lets it boot over a bonded network. I'll try to circle back to those and post them before Memorial Day (May 25h).
These all trigger off of udev events, though I recall there was some discussion about whether that was the way to go or not. In many ways, they are just polish on some of the network patches that have been posted here before (by you two, IIRC).

I had a sudden attack of Real Life -- my daughter learned to crawl, so the tiny amounts of free time I once had vanished.

Cool. Can you also hack up a makefile target that tests it using kvm and/or qemu?
I suppose I should post my more generic test suite improvements (making kvm/qemu work no matter what it is named on any given distro) to give you something a little easier to build with.

I don't think we ever finally decided one way or the other, the conversations kind of died off without reaching a conclusion.

yes, just post them, no matter, if they apply to the actual tree.. I will merge them and clean them up.

I think "all trigger off of udev events" is the way to go. If it doesn't work, try to fix the tools that do not work. --

I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted -- once they learn to walk your free time goes negative! :)

Most likely. I've been using libvirtd for my testing, but it shouldn't be too hard to do.

If you get there first, cool. If not, I'm sure we'll be able to merge our work.

Well, we'll have something concrete to tear apart then. :)

Hehe! Congratulations. Just wait until she learns to walk or talk. Or have her own opinion come to that... ;-) --

The consesus was to try and do as much as possible from within udev.
I've been fiddling a bit with udev trying to improve the network patches I sent a while ago but I can't get to the point where I'm able to tell udev that a network device was configured. Detected: yes. Configured: no. Ideas are welcome.
Regards,
Philippe

With lvm and raid we should wait for the new versions of these tools.
The tools and udev rules have been revamped and the need for non-udev calls (like "dmraid -ay") should have been eliminated. --

Well, the software RAID stuff I have been working on is all mdadm -I type stuff. I have not been messing with dmraid.

Wonderful and Thank you Harald! Good to hear that it's going forward!
Sorry for beeing silent for a while. Other stuff and projects had higher priority. But getting our netboot production system up to Debian5 (with dracut) is next on the list, so expect patches during the next weeks.
Regards,
Philippe
