Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install dracut on CentOS 8.

What is `dracut`

dracut contains tools to create bootable initramfses for the Linux kernel. Unlike previous implementations, dracut hard-codes as little as possible into the initramfs. dracut contains various modules which are driven by the event-based udev. Having root on MD, DM, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well as NFS, iSCSI, NBD, FCoE with the dracut-network package. dracut 049 135.git20210121.el8 x86_64 372 k dracut-049-135.git20210121.el8.src.rpm baseos Initramfs generator using udev https GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ dracut contains tools to create bootable initramfses for the Linux kernel.
