dracut has been around since openSUSE 12.x I think - I think it came along with systemd.
I hit enter too soo - I wanted to add, istr not being too fond of mkinitrd being replaced at the time, but it was 10+ years ago.
But it wasn't really replaced.
Okay, maybe I used the wrong word - superseded might be more appropriate. At the time we had long had "mkinitrd", a SUSE tool written by SUSE people (Hannes etc). Along comes "dracut" which seemed to me to be mostly "old wine on new bottles". It matched the saying Simon posted yesterday.
Ok, it run something else behind the skin, so what? It worked the same as before.
The compatibility wrapper came later, after development of mkinitrd stopped. I'm not sure when that happened - I have a 13.1 system here, mkinitrd has not yet been turned into a wrapper-only. Anyway, all I am saying is that I wasn't too fond of dracut, at the time. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
