[Bug 1937873] Re: overlay-root doesn't work by default

[Brian Murray]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. The package dracut is actually sync'ed from Debian and it would
be good to get this fix there too. Would you mind opening a bug report
in Debian about this and sending your patch?  Thanks in advance!

Title:
  overlay-root doesn't work by default

Status in dracut package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  By default the module 90overlay-root gets installed, but this module won't work in hostonly mode.
  In hostonly mode the required kernel module overlay is not installed.
  Using the command line option rootovl at boot will hang the system, because the dracut module will try to run but fail because of the missing kernel support.
  Other dracut modules fix this by setting hostonly='' before running instmods.

  Regards,

  Usarin Heininga
