Not to worry. You are right I am using GRUB. I have been reading and learning (best thing about being part of the community with supportive people like you).
So I found two other references which I think might work … but ofcourse second set of eyes always helps.
-
dracut is capable of embedding the kernel parameters in the initramfs, thus allowing to omit them from the boot loader configuration. See dracut#Kernel command line options
-
Kernel command line options
Kernel command line options can be placed in a .conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d/, and set via the kernel_cmdline= flag. Dracut will automatically source this file and create a 01-default.conf file and place it inside the initramfs directory /etc/cmdline.d/. For example, your kernel command line options file could look like:
/etc/dracut.conf.d/cmdline.conf
kernel_cmdline=“rd.luks.uuid=luks-f6c738f3-ee64-4633-b6b0-eceddb1bb010 rd.lvm.lv=arch/root rd.lvm.lv=arch/swap root=/dev/arch/root rootfstype=ext4 rootflags=rw,relatime”

If I am reading the references above correctly it looks like I can move the following lines out of the /etc/default/grub and use the following solution:
- Create cmdline.conf file in the dracut directory.
sudo touch /etc/dracut.conf.d/cmdline.conf
- Edit the /etc/dracut.conf.d/cmdline.conf
sudo nano /etc/dracut.conf.d/cmdline.conf
- Get Root Partition configuration configuration information and put into the “kernel_cmdline” of the “/etc/dracut.conf.d/cmdline.conf” file.
The below configuration line assumes your root partition is:
- Not on a LVM volume.
- Not on a raid partition
- Does not lives inside a specific crypto LUKS encrypted volume.
kernel_cmdline="rd.luks=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0"
- I can then remove the same references from /etc/default/grub/
Do you think this is a good best practice?
