Does anyone know what most Gentoo users are doing these days? I don't
recall the handbook mentioning initramfs at all back in 2002 because it
wasn't really needed back then. I did without for years until I finally
put / on LVM. I used lvm2create_initrd for a while but that was still
quite a manual process and I couldn't imagine going back to it now.
I've switched to Dracut and it's great but I don't get the impression
that Gentoo really endorses that option over the more laborious ones.
Maybe it should?
