I think it still needs some work, but it is getting there. I documented my own solution at: http://rich0gentoo.wordpress.com/2012/01/21/a-quick-dracut-module/ For less-complex setups dracut as-is probably would work, but then again, for most less-complex setups you don't need an initramfs anyway. In any case, it could still use more documentation, and it needs to be integrated into any howtos that pertain to using RAID/LVM/etc, and perhaps even the handbook (perhaps just as a warning that more exotic partitioning schemes potentially require it). I think all that really needs to be in place before we move any further down this road (such as with the most recent udev versions/etc). On the other hand, anybody who has /usr running on lvm/etc is not what I'd consider a casual user. As long as we give them enough info to figure things out we don't need to go overboard with the hand-holding. Some news items to alert the user to what is coming before they go updating udev/etc would be a bare minimum though - at least give them a chance to burn a rescue CD or something. Rich
