dracut/initramfs only needs to be updated if the hardware is needed for boot pre-pivot root (ie to find rootfs, or if you use root on nfs then you need network in initrd). If in your m.2 case you were booting from it then extra drivers would need to be loaded such that the initramfs can find rootf

I am going to guess a "warm" reboot does not leave some piece of critical hardware in a correct state (either to work, or that some driver and/or grub needs/expects) and so something fails early. Does the kernel post any messages? you might try removing quiet and see if anything shows up at all, i

If you have a "rescue" option in grub then boot it, the rescue install should be built with hostonly=no and is expected to include all drivers including that one. I verified on one of my machines that one is included in my rescue. The normal initrd is hostonly=yes and only includes the critical

Typically man pages are under subdirectores in that dir ie man1/man2/ So it may be ignoring the top level directory by design. I don't have any man "files" in that top directory, there are just directories below it that have the actual man pages in it. It sounds like a rpm spec file is puttin

I am going to guess it works "better" with Exfat because the firmware default real blocks line up with what exfat defaults using for the first 16-20GB. All to keep up the scam going a bit longer. From a vendor I trust the cheapest closeout on a flash device is $80/TB(256g-$20). And that vendor

If you paid less than US$1000, then the only 2 options are: it is stolen (pretty unlikely as they would still sell it for a high price) or fake. And if it is just a usb key device (not an external disk enclosure) it must be fake because I don't think you can actually fit the memory chips for 16tb
