We have it, it works (or at least worked). Someone would need to implement it in genkernel initrds though as at the moment only dracut can handle it. In terms of package maintenance, I took the package from aidecoe when he dropped it to avoid it getting removed. People seem to have found issues in there now and it could use a bump. As I cannot boot my systems using dracut initrds right now, feel free to take the package (and the openrc plugin for it) and fix/bump/do whatever with it. > > Thanks for your help > -- Alex Legler <a...@gentoo.org> Gentoo Security/Ruby/Infrastructure
