I know for certain that mksh does not. And very silently at that. Initramfs just doesn't detect encrypted partitions. > let's leave a possibility to customize shell and instead of hardcoding > bash use: > > add_dracutmodules+=" bash " > > which effectively changes default shell. I'm not so sure. What I found in the code is that dracut first installs /bin/sh and then shell modules (00bash, 00dash, 00mksh) as needed. But, those modules do not create /bin/sh if it already exists, and since that symlink is installed first it will not be re-created. > > (At some point I was going to add `add_dracutmodules+=" dash "` but must > have forgotten). Dracut already requires and installs bash into the initramfs for its own needs. I'd rather stick to my "fix" to make absolutely sure it's there and as /bin/sh to avoid new surprises. Besides /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf is marked in package as config(noreplace) and you may end up with .rpmnew and effectively a noop. -- Jan Rękorajski | PLD/Linux SysAdm | baggins<at>pld-linux.org | http://www.pld-linux.org/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
