Synopsis
dracut bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated dracut packages that fix multiple bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The dracut packages include an event-driven initramfs generator infrastructure
based on udev. The virtual file system, initramfs, is loaded together with the
kernel at boot time and initializes the system, so it can read and boot from the
root partition.
These updated dracut packages include numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space

to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Technical Notes for information on the most
significant of these changes:

provide numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
