Depending on your system, you might want to add one or more of the
following options:
Option Description
--disklabel Add support for LABEL= settings in your /etc/fstab
--dmraid Add support for fake hardware RAID
--firmware Add in firmware code found on the system
--gpg Add in GnuPG support
--iscsi Add support for iSCSI
--luks Add support for luks encryption containers
--lvm Add support for LVM
--mdadm Add support for software RAID
--multipath Add support for multiple I/O access towards a SAN
--zfs Add support for ZFS
So, are these *all* of the potential options? If so, then I can probably
safely say that all I need is lvm...
Never got a response to this...
Maybe I can ask another way...
Is this a complete list of the items that may break BOOTING? I
understand now that you can add pretty much any drivers that you want,
but on my server (that has the separate /usr), modules are disabled and
so I have every driver and filesystem built into the kernel.
Going just by the above list of items, the only thing I use is lvm, so
I'm guessing (I *hate* guessing) that this is the only thing I need in
my initramfs.
Another question - is there any reason I couldn't just enable everything
just in case? Or could that cause other problems?

Yes, but again, I have never had to worry about this - EVER - in the
past. The question simply never came up.
Now, I am being FORCED to worry about it... and I want to understand it
as much as possible.
