Subject: [ANNOUNCE] yaird 0.0.6, a mkinitrd based on hotplug concepts
Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 22:32:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050504003257.A21607@banaan.localdomain> (raw)
Version 0.0.6 of yaird is now available at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird-0.0.6.tar.gz
Yaird is a proof of concept perl rewrite of mkinitrd. It aims to
reliably identify the necessary modules by using the same algorithms
as hotplug, and comes with a template system to to tune the tool for
different distributions and experiment with different image layouts.
It requires a 2.6 kernel with hotplug. There is a paper discussing it at:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ekonijn/yaird/yaird.html
Summary of user visible changes for version 0.0.6
* Support cryptsetup. See the README file, see HTML documentation.
* Support aliases and options in modprobe.conf,
simply by using modprobe rather than doing a reimplementation in perl.
* tested with ulibc
* Bugfixes:
- failure to generate image on systems without LVM
- overcrowded /dev under Debian with udev
- failure to generate image if multiple links to same raid device exist
- uninitialised value in verbose output
On top of the todo list are now:
* support NFS devices
* support cryptsetup-luks
* support loopback devices
Regards,
Erik
