From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Erik van Konijnenburg Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 22:32:58 +0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCE] yaird 0.0.6, a mkinitrd based on hotplug concepts Message-Id: <20050504003257.A21607@banaan.localdomain> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org 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 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
