Description of problem: In the current rawhide, when trying to restart kdump service, the initramfs generating will fail. After investigating, it's because /bin/bash is lost when calling dracut to re-generate initramfs of kdump. Then the following any bash operation will fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Touch /etc/kdump.conf, then execute 'systemctl restart kdump.service' to trigger re-generating initramfs of kdump. The failure can be always seen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This issue failed all kdump-sysrq-c test cases of CKI on upstream kernel.
Proposed as a Blocker for 34-final by Fedora user cheeselee using the blocker tracking app because: Critical files like `/usr/bin/bash` will disappear when the issue triggers. System will fail to boot then. Inexperienced users will hard to fix.
Is this behavior observed on F34? It's nominated as an F34 blocker, but the bug only mentions Rawhide. If so, is this a condition that novice users will hit?

I met the issue also on F34. > > If so, is this a condition that novice users will hit? People who don't enable kdump will not be affected. But it is critical for people that enabled kdump. If this issue is not fixed, we have to tell people just don't enable kdump on F34.
-3 (blocker) +3 (FE) in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/340 . Marking as rejected blocker but accepted FE.
This is reproducible on Fedora 34 This is caused by dracut change here: https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/41cfdfc4d37b3075fef02b1775e903ebe5a15283#diff-99bfb8fe311d6a59318f685a5e3401b59293b577968aa08cc4ff7320a163bb28L2062 It can be fixed by partially revert 41cfdfc4d37b3075fef02b1775e903ebe5a15283 (delete that new `find` based code and use the old `for` based code). In latest dracut, the whole squash module related code have been refactored by https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/pull/1088 Maybe we should apply a Fedora only patch to partially revert that commit in Fedora 34? The new refactor requires systemd 248, and systemd 248 seems not included in Fedora 34.
