Package dracut

Initramfs generator using udev

https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/wiki/

dracut contains tools to create bootable initramfses for the Linux
kernel. Unlike other implementations, dracut hard-codes as little
as possible into the initramfs. dracut contains various modules which
are driven by the event-based udev. Having root on MD, DM, LVM2, LUKS
is supported as well as NFS, iSCSI, NBD, FCoE with the dracut-network
package.

Version: 060
