One possible improvement (not for this patch but long term) is to use initramfs-framework for this. It provides a modular system and has some nice featues for debug and shell handling so you can say: debug=before:udev shell=after:e2fs Just an example. Another good thing about it is it allow for less code duplication. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
