-- add LVM and Linux 2.5.x support description to geninitrd.8.xml
-- finish support to LVM
-- add support to AMI RAID
-- for software raid:
- - parse /proc/mdstat too
-- test devfs support
-- find modules to preload
-- don't suppose that if I have hwraid it is in module.
-
-Total rewrite plan:
-- rewrite code to use more awk
-- use System.map to determine compiled fs support
-- check support for i2o
-- add support for setting grsec options from initrd (using echo or sysctl)
-- pivot_root support
-- more inteligent LABEL=/UUID= support
-- diskless workstation support (depend to pivot_root support and maybe some ip autoconfiguration tools)
-- think about initramfs (read and understand Drafts about this)
-- add support for adding some objects (libs, execs and other) to initrd
-- add support for adding some custom code to linuxrc (define hooks places)
-- missing module are not critical (but write big warning about this)
-- add options to disable ANSI color codes in bsp

- <title>Description</title>
- <para>
- <application>geninitrd</application> creates filesystem images
- which are suitable for use as Linux initial ramdisk (initrd)
- images. Such images are often used for preloading the block
- device modules (such as IDE, SCSI or RAID) which are needed to
- access the root filesystem. <application>geninitrd</application>
- automatically loads all <varname>scsi_hostadapter</varname>
- entries in <filename>/etc/modules.conf</filename> when it finds
- that root fs is mounted on SCSI device, which makes it simple to
- build and use kernels using modular SCSI devices. It will also
- load IDE and RAID modules when needed. </para>
- <para>Any module options specified in
- <filename>/etc/modules.conf</filename> are passed to the modules
- as they are loaded by the initial ramdisk. </para>
- <para>If the root filesystem is modular, initrd will automatically
- add the filesystem's modules to the initrd image.</para>
-
- <!-- <para>If the root device is on a loop device (such as
- <filename>/dev/loop0</filename>), <application>geninitrd</application>
- will attempt to build an initrd which sets up the loopback file
- properly. To do this, the fstab must contain a comment of the form:
- <literal>
- # LOOP0: /dev/hda1 vfat /linux/rootfs
- </literal>
- LOOP0 must be the name of the loop device which needs to be configured, in
- all capital lettes. The parameters after the color are the device which
- contains the filesystem with the loopback image on it, the filesystem which
- is on the device, and the full path to the loopback image.

-Thing to implement for using LVM on rootfs:
-- if rootfs device have unsupported name then check if this is block device
- with major 58
-- check PVDEVICES and if empty do:
--- run lvdisplay to determine volumen group (vg)
--- run pvscan to find physical volumens (pv) belong to determined vg
- (better write help application to parse /etc/lvmtab.d/[vgname] or
- /etc/lvmconf/[vgname].conf - ask malekith for help)
-- for all finded pvs find needed modules (support all devices that are
- supported for rootfs device)
-- add to startup:
-mount /proc
-mount /tmp
-mkdir /tmp/lvmtab.d
-mkdir /tmp/lvmconf
-lvm-initrd vgscan
-lvm-initrd vgchange -a y
-umount /tmp
-umount /proc
-
-NOTE: vgscan need writable /etc/lvmtab and /etc/lvmtab.d/. Distrib kernel are
-builded only with romfs, so mount tmpfs on /tmp and symlink writable files from
-original location to /tmp.
-But tmpfs are only in kernel series 2.4.x or later.
