Description SATHEESARAN 2020-03-11 05:08:06 UTC
Description of problem:
-----------------------
Current part of the code does 'dracut -vf' twice to regenerate initramfs and that's not the right way to achieve the result.

As per RHEL 8 documentation[1] suggest to regenerate initramfs using the following command:
   # dracut -fv --regenerate-all

[1] - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html-single/security_hardening/index#configuring-manual-enrollment-of-volumes-using-clevis_configuring-automated-unlocking-of-encrypted-volumes-using-policy-based-decryption

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------
gluster-ansible-infra-1.0.4-5.el8rhgs.noarch.rpm 

How reproducible:
-----------------
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Run the playbook to achieve NBDE

Actual results:
---------------
'dracut -fv' is called twice to regenerate initramfs

Expected results:
-----------------
'dracut -fv --regenerate-all' should be used to regenerate initramfs  as per RHEL 8 security hardening document

Comment 2 SATHEESARAN 2020-03-21 09:56:05 UTC
Verified with gluster-ansible-infra-1.0.4-6

initramfs is regenerated in the right way using 'dracut -vf --regenerate-all'
