<PRE>Hi,
In testing a more extensive use of systemd (i.e. using it to mount
filesystems etc. rather than using rc.sysinit) I've run into a few
problems regarding the fact that my LVM is activated in the initrd.
Due to this, various entries in the udev db are not set. systemd uses
these missing bits to launch the local-fs.target and thus fails (even if
it's just my /home that is broken which won't really be needed).
I've been told in various discussions with upstream that ultimately we
need to use udev in the initrd. It seems that fedora and suse at least
do this.
I can work around it of course (we do so just now) but I'd like to get
things working as "natively" as possible with systemd if possible.
So should we:
a) Try to incorporate udev into our mkinitrd?
b) Switch to dracut
I'm not an expert at this stuff, but I know that Mandriva has started
using dracut more and I think it's likely the best solution overall
seeing as it's Fedora's preferred mechanism too.
But I didn't want to start looking at it until there is some consensus
on this - hence this email.
FWIW, I've put some detailed info on an Mdv bug concerning this same
issue here:

PS I've CC'ed a couple of specifically interested/clued up people so
they don't miss this mail, but of course comments from anyone are
appreciated:)
