[systemd-devel] [RFC] iscsiadm, iscsid: newroot command to survive switch_root

[Chris Leech]

When started from initramfs, iscsid needs to be able to chroot itself
to the runtime filesystem before the switch_root occurs.  In the
initramfs "iscsiadm --newroot {root fs mount before switch}" should be
called before the switch_root.
