Howdy,
Well, this is what I am thinking about jumping into. Ya'll ready for
this? I'm thinking about redoing my partition layout. I'm wanting to
keep / (root) on a normal ext4 file system. I want to put /usr, /var,
/home, and such on LVM. I been using that dracut thingy to build the
init thingy. Sorry, I'm full of thingys tonight. Maybe I need my meds?
Anyway, the init thingy seems to be working, I think. I asked a while
back how to tell for sure but it didn't get any replies so I am not real
sure it is. I do get this tho:

And grub looks like this:

root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage-3.2.2-1 root=/dev/sda3 init=/sbin/init
initrd /initramfs-3.2.2-1.img
Does anyone think dracut is not working? I need to make certain before
diving into the next step.
I have a second drive that is plenty large enough. Thanks Kashani. I
plan to move everything currently to the larger drive then just sort of
do a fresh install on my regular OS drive.
One question I have right off the bat, how do I tell dracut to mount
/usr? I think it used to have a usr USE flag but that seems to have
disappeared during a upgrade. Is it magic? Does it need to mount /var
as well for logging?
Just for the record, dracut is the only way I could get a init thingy to
build and let me boot. I tried different ways and they just didn't
work. At least I think dracut is working which is a good start. ;-)
I hope there is a few dracut users on here that have at least /usr on a
separate partition.
Thanks.
Dale
