Ian Wienand a72645f431 Recreate initramfs within loopback image
dracut has a loop [1] where it probes top-level directories, tries to
find what block device they are on, then determines the file-system of
that block device.  It then puts those file-system modules into the
initramfs for boot.

Since we install the kernel package during the chroot phase, / there
is not a block device and thus this loop matches nothing and we end up
with no file-system modules in the initramfs.  This results in a very
annoying silent boot hang.

By moving re-generation of dracut into finalise.d phase, we run inside
the final image where / is the loop-device; the root file-system gets
detected correctly and the ext4 module is included correctly.

Image building tools for OpenStack

diskimage-builder is a flexible suite of components for building a wide-range of disk images, filesystem images and ramdisk images for use with OpenStack.

This repository has the core functionality for building such images, both virtual and bare metal. Images are composed using elements; while fundamental elements are provided here, individual projects have the flexibility to customise the image build with their own elements.

For example:

$ DIB_RELEASE=trusty disk-image-create -o ubuntu-trusty.qcow2 vm ubuntu

will create a bootable Ubuntu Trusty based qcow2 image.

diskimage-builder is useful to anyone looking to produce customised images for deployment into clouds. These tools are the components of TripleO that are responsible for building disk images. They are also used extensively to build images for testing OpenStack itself, particularly with nodepool. Platforms supported include Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL and Fedora.
