I think it still needs some work, but it is getting there. I |

documented my own solution at: |

For less-complex setups dracut as-is probably would work, but then |
| 10 |
again, for most less-complex setups you don't need an initramfs |
| 11 |
anyway. |

In any case, it could still use more documentation, and it needs to be |
| 14 |
integrated into any howtos that pertain to using RAID/LVM/etc, and |
| 15 |
perhaps even the handbook (perhaps just as a warning that more exotic |
| 16 |
partitioning schemes potentially require it). I think all that really |
| 17 |
needs to be in place before we move any further down this road (such |
| 18 |
as with the most recent udev versions/etc). |

On the other hand, anybody who has /usr running on lvm/etc is not what |
| 21 |
I'd consider a casual user. As long as we give them enough info to |
| 22 |
figure things out we don't need to go overboard with the hand-holding. |
| 23 |
Some news items to alert the user to what is coming before they go |
| 24 |
updating udev/etc would be a bare minimum though - at least give them |
| 25 |
a chance to burn a rescue CD or something. |
