While I won't debate that it probably isn't strictly essential, dracut |
| 7 |
handles unmounting root for systemd just fine (well, at least on |
| 8 |
non-nfs - the version I'm using with an nfs root struggles in this |
| 9 |
regard, though unclean shutdown on nfs with no files open probably |
| 10 |
isn't really a problem). |

Is dracut still not widely used? I know that it was all the fashion |
| 13 |
for a decade or two for every distro to build their own initramfs, but |
| 14 |
I don't get why anybody wouldn't just make the switch - it is far more |
| 15 |
capable and configurable. |
