Hi In run-init.c there is a minor bug which can cause major problems i.e. not able to boot systems with udev-enabled initramfs on systems with multiple cdrom drives. In nuke_dirent () in run-init.c the stat call should be replaced with a lstat call, else nuking symbolic links which have been created before the link target will fail. Was somewhat tricky to debug... The bug gets triggered by udev with the /dev/cdrom symbolic link rule (from the default udev rules file) if there...

On a train ride to Bruxelles, brought out my axe and directly attacked run_init(8). run_init(8) is dead, long live switch_root(8). The next run on switch_root(8) involves fdopendir, so another push for the upcoming stdio 1.6 branch. The following is boot tested with initramfs-tools, kinit(8) tests would very much be appreciated!? Michal Suchanek (1): [klibc] switch_root: Fix single file

initramfs-tools wants to validate the real init program before running it, as there is no way out once it has exec'd run-init. This is complicated by the increasing use of symlinks for /sbin/init and for /sbin itself. We can't simply resolve them with 'readlink -f' because any absolute symlinks will be resolved using the wrong root. Add a dry-run mode (-n option) to run-init

systemd supports switching back to the initramfs during shutdown in order to make it easier to clean up the root file system. This is desirable in order to allow us to remove keys from RAM before rebooting, making it harder to obtain confidential information by rebooting into an environment that scrapes RAM contents. --- debian/changelog | 4 +
