Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 21:10:20 +0000 From: Nigel Kukard <nkukard@...d.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [ANNOUNCE] BootUtils v0.0.7 Project Description: BootUtils is a collection of utilities to facilitate booting of modern Kernel 2.6 based systems. BootUtils is designed for initramfs, although volunteers to add support for initrd are welcome. The process of finding the root volume either by label or explicit label= on the kernel command line, mounting it and 'switchroot'ing is automated. BootUtils can also drop to emergency shell if the root volume cannot be mounted. Why not even start sshd and allow admin login if the box is in a remote location? Features: * Automatic detection of root volume by label or explicit kernel commandline option * Supports ext2, ext3, jfs, reiserfs and xfs * Emergency shell dropping in the case of a root volume problem * Distribution independant Changes: * This release adds a raidscan tool that initiates the kernel's software raid auto-detect functionality. * It also adds some verbosity to switchroot.
