Product:	Gentoo Hosted Projects	Reporter:	Witaut Bajaryn <vitaut.bayaryn>

Status:	RESOLVED FIXED

Description Witaut Bajaryn 2015-09-17 13:27:28 UTC

Neither the manpage, --help output, nor the Gentoo Wiki page has any information about the /etc/initramfs.mounts config file and the possibility to mount additional filesystems in the initramfs.

Reproducible: Always

P.S. I'm not sure if this should have been reported in Documentation or here. It looks like the Documentation section is for Web documentation only.
