Description Alexander Tsoy 2015-02-24 09:25:21 UTC 
There is a bashism in dracut-lib.sh in function dev_unit_name():
dev=${dev/#\./\\x2e}

If dash is used as /bin/sh in initramfs, the following warnings printed on every boot:

$ grep 'Bad subs' rdsosreport.txt

Comment 1 Alexander Tsoy 2015-02-24 09:40:38 UTC 
I asked on the initramfs@ ML about the status of dash support in dracut.
Comment 4 Amadeusz Żołnowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-06-07 16:40:39 UTC 
Done. Thank you!
