Red Hat Summit21.2. Notable changes to command line tools
cgroupsv1 is a removed functionality in RHEL 10
cgroups is a kernel subsystem used for process tracking, system resource allocation, and partitioning. In previous versions, systemd service manager supported booting in the cgroups v1 and in cgroups v2 mode (with v1 as the default in rhel8 and v2 as the default in rhel9). In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, systemd will nolonger support booting in the cgroups v1 mode; only cgroups v2 mode will be available.
RHEL 10 provides ReaR in version 2.9
The ReaR utility has been upgraded to version 2.9. The notable changes include:
-
On IBM Z, the
IPLoutput method is now deprecated. TheRAMDISKoutput method is provided as an alternative. TheOUTPUT=RAMDISKfunctionality is identical on all the supported hardware architectures, unlike the deprecatedOUTPUT=IPLfunctionality, which is specific to IBM System Z.
Note that the names of the recovery ramdisk image and the kernel that are generated by ReaR are different with OUTPUT=RAMDISK. The kernel is named kernel-$RAMDISK_SUFFIX and the ramdisk image is named initramfs-$RAMDISK_SUFFIX.img. The RAMDISK_SUFFIX is a configuration variable that you can set in /etc/rear/local.conf. If the variable is not set, it defaults to the host name of the system. If you used the OUTPUT=IPL setting with previous ReaR versions, change it to OUTPUT=RAMDISK and adjust any automation that uses the resulting kernel and ramdisk image files according to the new naming convention described above to be compatible with future ReaR versions when the IPL output method is removed.
-
The default value of the
ISO_VOLIDconfiguration variable, which specifies the label of the resulting ISO image when using theOUTPUT=ISOsetting, was changed toREAR-ISO. The default in previous ReaR versions wasRELAXRECOVER. If you need to mount the resulting ISO 9660 file system by label, adjust themountcommand for the label change. Alternatively, you can set theISO_VOLIDvariable in/etc/rear/local.conftoRELAXRECOVERto restore the former behavior.
