Hi

Regarding the patching of the "mdraid" code, 
modules.d/90mdraid/parse-md.sh, to reduce the code amount maintained in 
ipfire,
would it be an idea to rather patch this part of the original dracut 
code

if { [ -z "$MD_UUID" ] && ! getargbool 0 rd.auto; } || ! getargbool 1 
rd.md -d -n rd_NO_MD; then
     info "rd.md=0: removing MD RAID activation"
     udevproperty rd_NO_MD=1
else
     # rewrite the md rules to only process the specified raid array


I.e. to rather patch it to
if false; then
     info "rd.md=0: removing MD RAID activation"
     udevproperty rd_NO_MD=1
else
     # rewrite the md rules to only process the specified raid array


That would save about 25 lines of patch code that needs to be 
maintained, and you would just have one simple line of patch to 
maintain.


Or is the rationale that if dracut ever changes the code related to 
mdraid, you want your patch to run into conflict,
so you get a hint that you need to put some extra testing effort into 
systems with mdraid ?

I also read the dracut documentation, to try to understand if you could 
rather send in some of the parameters that it checks, as part of the 
dracut invocation,
but was unable to figure it out. To me, it seems like these parameters 
are picked up from the kernel command line from boot.
