Description nucleo 2012-07-08 21:02:07 UTC

Description of problem:
dractut-020-51 writes files in wrong location when creating initramfs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-020-51.git20120706.fc18

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update dracut
2. update kernel (or re-generate initramfs with "dracut -f"
  
Actual results:
Files /etc/os/release, /etc/profile, /etc/initrd-release written in wrong location, in /etc/fstab added lines with /sysroot.
Also /etc/systemd/system/default.target can be removed.
Created initramfs file in /boot broken (only 1141 bytes).
Rawhide system can't boot.

Additional info:
Here steps how I can restore system:

1. Boot from LiveCD, chroot in rawhide system
2. downgrade dracut  to 020-22
3. remove lines added in /etc/fstab with sysroot
4. remove overwritten files /etc/os/release, /etc/profile, /etc/initrd-release
5. reinstall fedora-release, setup
6. re-generate initramfs with "dracut -f"
7. restore /etc/systemd/system/default.target
8. reboot

Comment 1 nucleo 2012-07-08 21:05:16 UTC

Sorry for typo, I mean file /etc/os-release

Comment 2 nucleo 2012-07-08 21:06:23 UTC

I tried twice to update dracut to 020-51 with the same result.
No problems with 020-22.

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2012-07-09 06:30:13 UTC

should be fixed with 020-52

Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-07-09 07:22:11 UTC

Anyone got a definitive list of the files that dracut
broke?  I noticed it was writing over /etc/profile and
/etc/fstab and had to use 'chattr +i' to stop it from
doing that.

Comment 7 Harald Hoyer 2012-07-09 07:46:50 UTC

Sorry for those, who have been bitten by dracut-020-51. Instead of installing to
the /var/tmp/initramfs.* directory, it installed in your real root.

To remove most (if not all) of the files, it has installed, do the following:

# rm /.bash_history
# rm /dracut-state.sh
# rm /lib/dracut-crypt-lib.sh  /lib/dracut-lib.sh /lib/dracut/modules.txt
# rm -r /lib/dracut/hooks
# rm /sbin/btrfs_finished /sbin/btrfs_timeout /sbin/cryptroot-ask
# rm /sbin/initqueue /sbin/insmodpost.sh /sbin/iscsiroot /sbin/loginit
# rm /sbin/lvm_scan
# rm /sbin/mdraid-cleanup /sbin/mdraid_start /sbin/nbdroot /sbin/netroot
# rm /sbin/nfsroot /sbin/probe-keydev /bin/dracut-cmdline /bin/dracut-initqueue
# rm /bin/dracut-pre-pivot /bin/dracut-pre-trigger /bin/dracut-pre-udev
# rm /bin/mount-hook /bin/mount-lun.sh
# rm /lib/fs-lib.sh  /lib/net-lib.sh  /lib/nfs-lib.sh
# rm /etc/initrd-release
# rm /lib/systemd/system/dracut*
# rm /lib/systemd/system/*/dracut*
# rm /lib/systemd/system/default.target
# rm /lib/systemd/system/initrd-switch-root.service
# rm -r /lib/systemd/system/initrd-switch-root.target
# vi /etc/fstab .. remove all /sysroot lines
# mkdir /tmp/dracut-fixup;  ( cd /tmp/dracut-fixup; yumdownloader setup; \

  rm -fr /tmp/dracut-fixup

Oh, this may explain why I could not reboot cleanup even with old (saved) initramfs...
