How can I instruct dracut to sleep at boot for a specified time?
I have a server running Fedora 29 (server edition). The root filesystem exists on a ZFS pool named system. When I reboot the machine I always get dropped into a dracut emergency shell. After doing some investigation I was able to determine that the system is booting too quickly and not giving the mpt2sas driver enough time to initialize the rust drives which have the root filesystem on them.
I have seen numerous pieces of documentation referring to using rootdelay
in my GRUB arguments but I found out that this only works with Debian based systems.
Is there a way I can instruct dracut/initrd to wait for 10 seconds (maybe even less) before trying to mount my ZFS pool?
fedora boot zfs initrd dracut
