Furthermore neither the wiki [1] not the man page [2] is a mention on the HOOKS [3] that mkinitcpio uses. Is there something similar for dracut or it's not required For example: will it automatically execute `btrfs device scan` as the `btrfs` HOOK would do in mkinitcpio?
I dunno, try it and see? Though my understanding is, dracut is less configurable and far more automatic probe-y. Chances are if it detects a btrfs filesystem of any sort, it will assume you need to probe for multi-device btrfs volumes at boot, and do so without asking or being configured.
I have never used dracut, but it has modules similar to mkinitcpio hooks. I guess the modules contain more automagic so you don't have to manually enable/disable them. If you want, you can limit the modules to include, though. If functionality is missing you will need to write a dracut module instead of a mkinitcpio hook. https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/dracut/dracut.conf.5.en -- Andy
