Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: wishlist
mdadm in incremental mode needs the hostname to be able to work
without a configuration file, which would make RAID-boot much more
robust. Instead of mdadm touching
/proc/sys/kernel/{host,domain}name, it feels like initramfs should
do that.The attached scripts take care of it. hostname is the hook, and 00hostname the script for init-top. It might make more sense to put this into local-top though, I don't really know how it interacts with netboot. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
