https://bugs.gentoo.org/896364 Workaround for bug in sys-kernel/dracut. From 6b25470ee28843a49c50442e9d8a98edc842ceca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yu Watanabe Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2023 12:00:30 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] core/manager: run generators directly when we are in initrd Some initrd system write files at ourside of /run, /etc, or other allowed places. This is a kind of workaround, but in most cases, such sandboxing is not necessary as the filesystem is on ramfs when we are in initrd.
