Every initrd generator (dracut, initramfs-tools, mkinitcpio, ...) has its own implementation of nfsroot, i.e., allow to mount the real root filesystem via NFS in the initrd. The main goal of this patchset is to provide a common, centralized, simple and modern systemd implementation of nfsroot that can be used by any initrd generator. nfs-utils can easily provide it, and thus also improve the maintainability of this feature. The initial idea is to support NFSv4 only. The matching patch for dracut (on top of openSUSE Tumbleweed) would be: https://github.com/aafeijoo-suse/dracut/commit/f737e382988e77bd650dbb4951ef6925644fb523 OBS build with this patchset and the dracut patch: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/afeijoo:/branches:/openSUSE:/Factory:/nfsroot/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Antonio Alvarez Feijoo (2): systemd: Allow nfs-idmapd.service to be started without the server systemd: Add a generator to mount /sysroot via NFSv4 in the initrd .gitignore | 1 + systemd/Makefile.am | 8 +- systemd/nfs-idmapd.service | 2 +- systemd/nfs.systemd.man | 62 +++++++-- systemd/nfsroot-generator.c | 243 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ systemd/systemd.c | 16 ++- systemd/systemd.h | 1 + 7 files changed, 321 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 systemd/nfsroot-generator.c -- 2.43.0
