File README.SUSE of Package ignition-dracut
Changes for openSUSE / SLE:
* ignition-mount-initrd-fstab.service / ignition-suse-generator:
By default Ignition will only mount partitions or subvolumes explicitly
mentioned in the Ignition configuration. On SUSE, however, the system
is split over several subvolumes, and most users won't want to define
all the partitions again. A lot of core functionality however (e.g.
configuring a SSH certificate for the root user or adding a configuration
file) requires access to those subvolumes.
For better usability in addition to Ignition's own mount / umount stage all
files systems tagged for being mounted in the initrd ("x-initrd.mount mount
flag) will automatically be mounted / umounted.
* ignition-setup-user-suse.sh / ignition-userconfig-timeout*.conf:
The user configuration can be stored on a device with the label "ignition"
(e.g. by attaching a USB flash drive with that name) instead of putting the
file onto the root partition.
* 02_ignition_firstboot:
This file has been part of upstream ignition-dracut, but has since then been
moved to a static CoreOS specific configuration
(https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/pull/616); it is now used in a
modified version adapted to SUSE's needs.
This script will automatically set the kernel parameters to trigger an
Ignition run if a flag file is set (e.g. on first boot). To trigger an
Ignition run manually just create the file
"/boot/writable/ignition.firstboot".
* 0003-Disable-resetting-UUID.patch / change-ignition-firstboot-path.conf:
Remove / overwrite CoreOS specific script / path.
* prevent-boot-cycle.conf:
If the "files" stage fails the system will be stuck in an infinite
bootcyle (https://github.com/coreos/ignition-dracut/issues/115); this is
a workaround to get the system into a defined state.
