Hi! |

I had some struggle with a separate /usr on top of LVM and the dracut |
| 4 |
thing. I noticed that udev was complaining at boot that it could not |
| 5 |
find some scripts. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The usmount dracut module did not work for me because it could not |
| 8 |
find /usr. So what I did was to include the fstab-sys smodule in |
| 9 |
dracut: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
/etc/dracut.conf |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
# Dracut modules to omit |
| 14 |
omit_dracutmodules+="usrmount" |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
# Dracut modules to add to the default |
| 17 |
add_dracutmodules+="fstab-sys" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then I created /etc/fstab.sys with just the /usr partition |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
/dev/disk/by-uuid/90d82b02-e6c2-4011-940e-783d12b0c4fe /usr ext4 noatime 1 2 |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Dracut could only find the partition by using the uuid (use blkid to |
| 24 |
find it easily). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The next step was to remove /usr from /etc/fstab to prevent /usr from |
| 27 |
being mounted twice (the boot process does not like it). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The last obstacle is /etc/mtab. By the time /usr is mounted I believe |
| 30 |
/ is mounted as read only, so mount cannot update /etc/mtab. The |
| 31 |
trivial solutions is to delete /etc/mtab and make it a symlink to |
| 32 |
/proc/mounts . In that case it is always up to date. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Of course, YMMV. Be careful when changing things that can prevent your |
| 35 |
machine from booting and make sure you have a live CD at hand. |
| 36 |

Cheers, |
