    Description

      The RHEL6 way to build initrd is with dracut. If the Lustre e2fsprogs is installed, dracut builds an initrd that won't boot.

      This issue was discovered by John Hammond at TACC. Lustre e2fsprogs overwrites blkid, and this maybe the culprit.

      To reproduce:

      1. vanilla RHEL6.
      2. install Lustre kernel.
      3. install e2fsprogs (http://newbuild.whamcloud.com/job/e2fsprogs-reviews/arch=x86_64,distro=el6/12/)
      4. run 'dracut /boot/e2fsprogs.img'
      5. reboot with e2fsprogs.img
      6. boot fails.
