DRACUT.CMDLINE(7)		    dracut		     DRACUT.CMDLINE(7)

NAME
       dracut.cmdline - dracut kernel command line options

DESCRIPTION
       The root device used by the kernel is specified in the boot
       configuration file on the kernel command line, as always.

       The traditional root=/dev/sda1 style device specification is allowed,
       but not encouraged. The root device should better be identified by
       LABEL or UUID. If a label is used, as in root=LABEL=<label_of_root> the
       initramfs will search all available devices for a filesystem with the
       appropriate label, and mount that device as the root filesystem.
       root=UUID=<uuidnumber> will mount the partition with that UUID as the
       root filesystem.

       In the following all kernel command line parameters, which are
       processed by dracut, are described.

       "rd.*" parameters mentioned without "=" are boolean parameters. They
       can be turned on/off by setting them to {0|1}. If the assignment with
       "=" is missing "=1" is implied. For example rd.info can be turned off
       with rd.info=0 or turned on with rd.info=1 or rd.info. The last value
       in the kernel command line is the value, which is honored.

   Standard
       init=<path to real init>
	   specify the path to the init programm to be started after the
	   initramfs has finished

       root=<path to blockdevice>
	   specify the block device to use as the root filesystem.

	   Example.

	       root=/dev/sda1
	       root=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:1:0-part1
	       root=/dev/disk/by-label/Root
	       root=LABEL=Root
	       root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3f5ad593-4546-4a94-a374-bcfb68aa11f7
	       root=UUID=3f5ad593-4546-4a94-a374-bcfb68aa11f7
	       root=PARTUUID=3f5ad593-4546-4a94-a374-bcfb68aa11f7

       rootfstype=<filesystem type>
	   "auto" if not specified.

	   Example.

	       rootfstype=ext3

       rootflags=<mount options>
	   specify additional mount options for the root filesystem. If not
	   set, /etc/fstab of the real root will be parsed for special mount
	   options and mounted accordingly.

       ro
	   force mounting / and /usr (if it is a separate device) read-only.
	   If none of ro and rw is present, both are mounted according to
	   /etc/fstab.

       rw
	   force mounting / and /usr (if it is a separate device) read-write.
	   See also ro option.

       rootfallback=<path to blockdevice>
	   specify the block device to use as the root filesystem, if the
	   normal root cannot be found. This can only be a simple block device
	   with a simple file system, for which the filesystem driver is
	   either compiled in, or added manually to the initramfs. This
	   parameter can be specified multiple times.

       rd.auto rd.auto=1
	   enable autoassembly of special devices like cryptoLUKS, dmraid,
	   mdraid or lvm. Default is off as of dracut version >= 024.

       rd.fstab=0
	   do not honor special mount options for the root filesystem found in
	   /etc/fstab of the real root.

       resume=<path to resume partition>
	   resume from a swap partition

	   Example.

	       resume=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:1:0-part1
	       resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/3f5ad593-4546-4a94-a374-bcfb68aa11f7
	       resume=UUID=3f5ad593-4546-4a94-a374-bcfb68aa11f7

       rd.skipfsck
	   skip fsck for rootfs and /usr. If you’re mounting /usr read-only
	   and the init system performs fsck before remount, you might want to
	   use this option to avoid duplication.

   Misc
       rd.driver.blacklist=<drivername>[,<drivername>,...]
	   do not load kernel module <drivername>. This parameter can be
	   specified multiple times.

       rd.driver.pre=<drivername>[,<drivername>,...]
	   force loading kernel module <drivername>. This parameter can be
	   specified multiple times.

       rd.driver.post=<drivername>[,<drivername>,...]
	   force loading kernel module <drivername> after all automatic
	   loading modules have been loaded. This parameter can be specified
	   multiple times.

       rd.retry=<seconds>
	   specify how long dracut should wait for devices to appear. The
	   default is 30 seconds. After 2/3 of the time, degraded raids are
	   force started. If you have hardware, which takes a very long time
	   to announce its drives, you might want to extend this value.

       rd.noverifyssl
	   accept self-signed certificates for ssl downloads.

       rd.ctty=<terminal device>
	   specify the controlling terminal for the console. This is useful,
	   if you have multiple "console=" arguments.

   Debug
       If you are dropped to an emergency shell, the file
       /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt is created, which can be safed to a (to
       be mounted by hand) partition (usually /boot) or a USB stick.
       Additional debugging info can be produced by adding rd.debug to the
       kernel command line. /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt contains all logs
       and the output of some tools. It should be attached to any report about
       dracut problems.

       rd.info
	   print informational output though "quiet" is set

       rd.shell
	   allow dropping to a shell, if root mounting fails

       rd.debug
	   set -x for the dracut shell. If systemd is active in the initramfs,
	   all output is logged to the systemd journal, which you can inspect
	   with "journalctl -ab". If systemd is not active, the logs are
	   written to dmesg and /run/initramfs/init.log. If "quiet" is set, it
	   also logs to the console.

       rd.memdebug=[0-3]
	   Print memory usage info at various points, set the verbose level
	   from 0 to 3.

	   Higher level means more debugging output:

		   0 - no output
		   1 - partial /proc/meminfo
		   2 - /proc/meminfo
		   3 - /proc/meminfo + /proc/slabinfo

       rd.break
	   drop to a shell at the end

       rd.break={cmdline|pre-udev|pre-trigger|initqueue|pre-mount|mount|pre-pivot|cleanup}
	   drop to a shell on defined breakpoint

       rd.udev.info
	   set udev to loglevel info

       rd.udev.debug
	   set udev to loglevel debug

   I18N
       rd.vconsole.keymap=<keymap base file name>
	   keyboard translation table loaded by loadkeys; taken from keymaps
	   directory; will be written as KEYMAP to /etc/vconsole.conf in the
	   initramfs.

	   Example.

	       rd.vconsole.keymap=de-latin1-nodeadkeys

       rd.vconsole.keymap.ext=<list of keymap base file names>
	   list of extra keymaps to bo loaded (sep. by space); will be written
	   as EXT_KEYMAP to /etc/vconsole.conf in the initramfs

       rd.vconsole.unicode
	   boolean, indicating UTF-8 mode; will be written as UNICODE to
	   /etc/vconsole.conf in the initramfs

       rd.vconsole.font=<font base file name>
	   console font; taken from consolefonts directory; will be written as
	   FONT to /etc/vconsole.conf in the initramfs.

	   Example.

	       rd.vconsole.font=LatArCyrHeb-16

       rd.vconsole.font.map=<console map base file name>
	   see description of -m parameter in setfont manual; taken from
	   consoletrans directory; will be written as FONT_MAP to
	   /etc/vconsole.conf in the initramfs

       rd.vconsole.font.unimap=<unicode table base file name>
	   see description of -u parameter in setfont manual; taken from
	   unimaps directory; will be written as FONT_UNIMAP to
	   /etc/vconsole.conf in the initramfs

       rd.locale.LANG=<locale>
	   taken from the environment; if no UNICODE is defined we set its
	   value in basis of LANG value (whether it ends with ".utf8" (or
	   similar) or not); will be written as LANG to /etc/locale.conf in
	   the initramfs.

	   Example.

	       rd.locale.LANG=pl_PL.utf8

       rd.locale.LC_ALL=<locale>
	   taken from the environment; will be written as LC_ALL to
	   /etc/locale.conf in the initramfs

   LVM
       rd.lvm=0
	   disable LVM detection

       rd.lvm.vg=<volume group name>
	   only activate the volume groups with the given name. rd.lvm.vg can
	   be specified multiple times on the kernel command line.

       rd.lvm.lv=<logical volume name>
	   only activate the logical volumes with the given name. rd.lvm.lv
	   can be specified multiple times on the kernel command line.

       rd.lvm.conf=0
	   remove any /etc/lvm/lvm.conf, which may exist in the initramfs

   crypto LUKS
       rd.luks=0
	   disable crypto LUKS detection

       rd.luks.uuid=<luks uuid>
	   only activate the LUKS partitions with the given UUID. Any "luks-"
	   of the LUKS UUID is removed before comparing to <luks uuid>. The
	   comparisons also matches, if <luks uuid> is only the beginning of
	   the LUKS UUID, so you don’t have to specify the full UUID. This
	   parameter can be specified multiple times.

       rd.luks.allow-discards=<luks uuid>
	   Allow using of discards (TRIM) requests for LUKS partitions with
	   the given UUID. Any "luks-" of the LUKS UUID is removed before
	   comparing to <luks uuid>. The comparisons also matches, if <luks
	   uuid> is only the beginning of the LUKS UUID, so you don’t have to
	   specify the full UUID. This parameter can be specified multiple
	   times.

       rd.luks.allow-discards
	   Allow using of discards (TRIM) requests on all LUKS partitions.

       rd.luks.crypttab=0
	   do not check, if LUKS partition is in /etc/crypttab

   crypto LUKS - key on removable device support
       rd.luks.key=<keypath>:<keydev>:<luksdev>
	   keypath is a path to key file to look for. It’s REQUIRED. When
	   keypath ends with .gpg it’s considered to be key encrypted
	   symmetrically with GPG. You will be prompted for password on boot.
	   GPG support comes with crypt-gpg module which needs to be added
	   explicitly.

	   keydev is a device on which key file resides. It might be kernel
	   name of devices (should start with "/dev/"), UUID (prefixed with
	   "UUID=") or label (prefix with "LABEL="). You don’t have to specify
	   full UUID. Just its beginning will suffice, even if its ambiguous.
	   All matching devices will be probed. This parameter is recommended,
	   but not required. If not present, all block devices will be probed,
	   which may significantly increase boot time.

	   If luksdev is given, the specified key will only be applied for
	   that LUKS device. Possible values are the same as for keydev.
	   Unless you have several LUKS devices, you don’t have to specify
	   this parameter. The simplest usage is:

	   Example.

	       rd.luks.key=/foo/bar.key

	   As you see, you can skip colons in such a case.

	       Note
	       dracut pipes key to cryptsetup with -d - argument, therefore
	       you need to pipe to crypsetup luksFormat with -d -, too!

	       Here follows example for key encrypted with GPG:

		   gpg --quiet --decrypt rootkey.gpg | \
		   cryptsetup -d - -v --cipher serpent-cbc-essiv:sha256 \
		   --key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sda3

	       If you use plain keys, just add path to -d option:

		   cryptsetup -d rootkey.key -v --cipher serpent-cbc-essiv:sha256 \
		    --key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sda3

   MD RAID
       rd.md=0
	   disable MD RAID detection

       rd.md.imsm=0
	   disable MD RAID for imsm/isw raids, use DM RAID instead

       rd.md.ddf=0
	   disable MD RAID for SNIA ddf raids, use DM RAID instead

       rd.md.conf=0
	   ignore mdadm.conf included in initramfs

       rd.md.waitclean=1
	   wait for any resync, recovery, or reshape activity to finish before
	   continuing

       rd.md.uuid=<md raid uuid>
	   only activate the raid sets with the given UUID. This parameter can
	   be specified multiple times.

   DM RAID
       rd.dm=0
	   disable DM RAID detection

       rd.dm.uuid=<dm raid uuid>
	   only activate the raid sets with the given UUID. This parameter can
	   be specified multiple times.

   FIPS
       rd.fips
	   enable FIPS

       boot=<boot device>
	   specify the device, where /boot is located.

	   Example.

	       boot=/dev/sda1
	       boot=/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:1:0-part1
	       boot=UUID=<uuid>
	       boot=LABEL=<label>

       rd.fips.skipkernel
	   skip checksum check of the kernel image. Useful, if the kernel
	   image is not in a separate boot partition.

   Network
	   Important
	   It is recommended to either bind an interface to a MAC with the
	   ifname argument, or to use the systemd-udevd predictable network
	   interface names.

	   Predictable network interface device names based on:

	   ·   firmware/bios-provided index numbers for on-board devices

	   ·   firmware-provided pci-express hotplug slot index number

	   ·   physical/geographical location of the hardware

	   ·   the interface’s MAC address

	   See:
	   http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames

	   Two character prefixes based on the type of interface:

	   en
	       ethernet

	   wl
	       wlan

	   ww
	       wwan

	   Type of names:

	   o<index>
	       on-board device index number

	   s<slot>[f<function>][d<dev_id>]
	       hotplug slot index number

	   x<MAC>
	       MAC address

	   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][d<dev_id>]
	       PCI geographical location

	   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
	       USB port number chain

	   All multi-function PCI devices will carry the [f<function>] number
	   in the device name, including the function 0 device.

	   When using PCI geography, The PCI domain is only prepended when it
	   is not 0.

	   For USB devices the full chain of port numbers of hubs is composed.
	   If the name gets longer than the maximum number of 15 characters,
	   the name is not exported. The usual USB configuration == 1 and
	   interface == 0 values are suppressed.

       ip={dhcp|on|any|dhcp6|auto6|ibft}

	   dhcp|on|any
	       get ip from dhcp server from all interfaces. If root=dhcp, loop
	       sequentially through all interfaces (eth0, eth1, ...) and use
	       the first with a valid DHCP root-path.

	   auto6
	       IPv6 autoconfiguration

	   dhcp6
	       IPv6 DHCP

	   ibft
	       iBFT autoconfiguration

       ip=<interface>:{dhcp|on|any|dhcp6|auto6}[:[<mtu>][:<macaddr>]]
	   This parameter can be specified multiple times.

	   dhcp|on|any|dhcp6
	       get ip from dhcp server on a specific interface

	   auto6
	       do IPv6 autoconfiguration

	   <macaddr>
	       optionally set <macaddr> on the <interface>. This cannot be
	       used in conjunction with the ifname argument for the same
	       <interface>.

       ip=<client-IP>:<server-IP>:<gateway-IP>:<netmask>:<client_hostname>:<interface>:{none|off|dhcp|on|any|dhcp6|auto6|ibft}:[:[<mtu>][:<macaddr>]]
	   explicit network configuration. If you want do define a IPv6
	   address, put it in brackets (e.g. [2001:DB8::1]). This parameter
	   can be specified multiple times.

	   <macaddr>
	       optionally set <macaddr> on the <interface>. This cannot be
	       used in conjunction with the ifname argument for the same
	       <interface>.

       ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
	   Assign network device name <interface> (ie "bootnet") to the NIC
	   with MAC <MAC>.

	       Warning
	       Do not use the default kernel naming scheme for the interface
	       name, as it can conflict with the kernel names. So, don’t use
	       "eth[0-9]+" for the interface name. Better name it "bootnet" or
	       "bluesocket".

       bootdev=<interface>
	   specify network interface to use routing and netroot information
	   from. Required if multiple ip= lines are used.

       nameserver=<IP> [nameserver=<IP> ...]
	   specify nameserver(s) to use

       biosdevname=0
	   boolean, turn off biosdevname network interface renaming

       rd.neednet=1
	   boolean, bring up network even without netroot set

       vlan=<vlanname>:<phydevice>
	   Setup vlan device named <vlanname> on <phydeivce>. We support the
	   four styles of vlan names: VLAN_PLUS_VID (vlan0005),
	   VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD (vlan5), DEV_PLUS_VID (eth0.0005),
	   DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD (eth0.5)

       bond=<bondname>[:<bondslaves>:[:<options>]]
	   Setup bonding device <bondname> on top of <bondslaves>.
	   <bondslaves> is a comma-separated list of physical (ethernet)
	   interfaces. <options> is a comma-separated list on bonding options
	   (modinfo bonding for details) in format compatible with
	   initscripts. If <options> includes multi-valued arp_ip_target
	   option, then its values should be separated by semicolon. Bond
	   without parameters assumes bond=bond0:eth0,eth1:mode=balance-rr

       team=<teammaster>:<teamslaves>
	   Setup team device <teammaster> on top of <teamslaves>. <teamslaves>
	   is a comma-separated list of physical (ethernet) interfaces.

       bridge=<bridgename>:<ethnames>
	   Setup bridge <bridgename> with <ethnames>. <ethnames> is a
	   comma-separated list of physical (ethernet) interfaces. Bridge
	   without parameters assumes bridge=br0:eth0

   NFS
       root=[<server-ip>:]<root-dir>[:<nfs-options>]
	   mount nfs share from <server-ip>:/<root-dir>, if no server-ip is
	   given, use dhcp next_server. if server-ip is an IPv6 address it has
	   to be put in brackets, e.g. [2001:DB8::1]. NFS options can be
	   appended with the prefix ":" or "," and are seperated by ",".

       root=nfs:[<server-ip>:]<root-dir>[:<nfs-options>],
       root=nfs4:[<server-ip>:]<root-dir>[:<nfs-options>], root={dhcp|dhcp6}
	   root=dhcp alone directs initrd to look at the DHCP root-path where
	   NFS options can be specified.

	   Example.

		   root-path=<server-ip>:<root-dir>[,<nfs-options>]
		   root-path=nfs:<server-ip>:<root-dir>[,<nfs-options>]
		   root-path=nfs4:<server-ip>:<root-dir>[,<nfs-options>]

       root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=[<server-ip>:]<root-dir>[:<nfs-options>]
	   Deprecated!	kernel Documentation_/filesystems/nfsroot.txt_ defines
	   this method. This is supported by dracut, but not recommended.

       rd.nfs.domain=<NFSv4 domain name>
	   Set the NFSv4 domain name. Will overwrite the settings in
	   /etc/idmap.conf.

   CIFS
       root=cifs://[<username>[:<password>]@]<server-ip>:<root-dir>
	   mount cifs share from <server-ip>:/<root-dir>, if no server-ip is
	   given, use dhcp next_server. if server-ip is an IPv6 address it has
	   to be put in brackets, e.g. [2001:DB8::1]. If a username or
	   password are not specified as part of the root, then they must be
	   passed on the command line through cifsuser/cifspass.

	       Warning
	       Passwords specified on the kernel command line are visible for
	       all users via the file /proc/cmdline and via dmesg or can be
	       sniffed on the network, when using DHCP with DHCP root-path.

       cifsuser=<username>
	   Set the cifs username, if not specified as part of the root.

       cifspass=<password>
	   Set the cifs password, if not specified as part of the root.

	       Warning
	       Passwords specified on the kernel command line are visible for
	       all users via the file /proc/cmdline and via dmesg or can be
	       sniffed on the network, when using DHCP with DHCP root-path.

   iSCSI
       root=iscsi:[<username>:<password>[:<reverse>:<password>]@][<servername>]:[<protocol>]:[<port>][:[<iscsi_iface_name>]:[<netdev_name>]]:[<LUN>]:<targetname>
	   protocol defaults to "6", LUN defaults to "0". If the "servername"
	   field is provided by BOOTP or DHCP, then that field is used in
	   conjunction with other associated fields to contact the boot server
	   in the Boot stage. However, if the "servername" field is not
	   provided, then the "targetname" field is then used in the Discovery
	   Service stage in conjunction with other associated fields. See
	   rfc4173[1].

	       Warning
	       Passwords specified on the kernel command line are visible for
	       all users via the file /proc/cmdline and via dmesg or can be
	       sniffed on the network, when using DHCP with DHCP root-path.

	   Example.

	       root=iscsi:192.168.50.1::::iqn.2009-06.dracut:target0

	   If servername is an IPv6 address, it has to be put in brackets:

	   Example.

	       root=iscsi:[2001:DB8::1]::::iqn.2009-06.dracut:target0

       root=???
       netroot=iscsi:[<username>:<password>[:<reverse>:<password>]@][<servername>]:[<protocol>]:[<port>][:[<iscsi_iface_name>]:[<netdev_name>]]:[<LUN>]:<targetname>
       ...
	   multiple netroot options allow setting up multiple iscsi disks:

	   Example.

	       root=UUID=12424547
	       netroot=iscsi:192.168.50.1::::iqn.2009-06.dracut:target0
	       netroot=iscsi:192.168.50.1::::iqn.2009-06.dracut:target1

	   If servername is an IPv6 address, it has to be put in brackets:

	   Example.

	       netroot=iscsi:[2001:DB8::1]::::iqn.2009-06.dracut:target0

	       Warning
	       Passwords specified on the kernel command line are visible for
	       all users via the file /proc/cmdline and via dmesg or can be
	       sniffed on the network, when using DHCP with DHCP root-path.
	       You may want to use rd.iscsi.firmware.

       root=??? rd.iscsi.initiator=<initiator> rd.iscsi.target.name=<target
       name> rd.iscsi.target.ip=<target ip> rd.iscsi.target.port=<target port>
       rd.iscsi.target.group=<target group> rd.iscsi.username=<username>
       rd.iscsi.password=<password> rd.iscsi.in.username=<in username>
       rd.iscsi.in.password=<in password>
	   manually specify all iscsistart parameter (see iscsistart --help)

	       Warning
	       Passwords specified on the kernel command line are visible for
	       all users via the file /proc/cmdline and via dmesg or can be
	       sniffed on the network, when using DHCP with DHCP root-path.
	       You may want to use rd.iscsi.firmware.

       root=??? netroot=iscsi rd.iscsi.firmware=1
	   will read the iscsi parameter from the BIOS firmware

       rd.iscsi.param=<param>
	   <param> will be passed as "--param <param>" to iscsistart. This
	   parameter can be specified multiple times.

	   Example.

	       "netroot=iscsi rd.iscsi.firmware=1 rd.iscsi.param=node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout=30"

	   will result in

	       iscsistart -b --param node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout=30

   FCoE
       fcoe=<edd|interface|MAC>:{dcb|nodcb}
	   Try to connect to a FCoE SAN through the NIC specified by
	   <interface> or <MAC> or EDD settings. For the second argument,
	   currently only nodcb is supported. This parameter can be specified
	   multiple times.

	       Note
	       letters in the MAC-address must be lowercase!

   NBD
       root=???
       netroot=nbd:<server>:<port>[:<fstype>[:<mountopts>[:<nbdopts>]]]
	   mount nbd share from <server>

       root=dhcp with dhcp
       root-path=nbd:<server>:<port>[:<fstype>[:<mountopts>[:<nbdopts>]]]
	   root=dhcp alone directs initrd to look at the DHCP root-path where
	   NBD options can be specified. This syntax is only usable in cases
	   where you are directly mounting the volume as the rootfs.

   DASD
       rd.dasd=....
	   same syntax as the kernel module parameter (s390 only)

   ZFCP
       rd.zfcp=<zfcp adaptor device bus ID>,<WWPN>,<FCPLUN>
	   rd.zfcp can be specified multiple times on the kernel command line.

	   Example.

	       rd.zfcp=0.0.4000,0x5005076300C213e9,0x5022000000000000

       rd.zfcp.conf=0
	   ignore zfcp.conf included in the initramfs

   ZNET
       rd.znet=<nettype>,<subchannels>,<options>
	   rd.znet can be specified multiple times on the kernel command line.

	   Example.

	       rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0600,0.0.0601,0.0.0602,layer2=1,portname=foo
	       rd.znet=ctc,0.0.0600,0.0.0601,protocol=bar

   Plymouth Boot Splash
       plymouth.enable=0
	   disable the plymouth bootsplash completly.

       rd.plymouth=0
	   disable the plymouth bootsplash only for the initramfs.

   Kernel keys
       masterkey=<kernel master key path name>
	   Set the path name of the kernel master key.

	   Example.

	       masterkey=/etc/keys/kmk-trusted.blob

       masterkeytype=<kernel master key type>
	   Set the type of the kernel master key.

	   Example.

	       masterkeytype=trusted

       evmkey=<EVM key path name>
	   Set the path name of the EVM key.

	   Example.

	       evmkey=/etc/keys/evm-trusted.blob

       ecryptfskey=<eCryptfs key path name>
	   Set the path name of the eCryptfs key.

	   Example.

	       ecryptfskey=/etc/keys/ecryptfs-trusted.blob
