It not helps at all. "Your" hooks runs before mounting root device.
I need to run my script after mount root, but before switch_root.

At the end of /lib/initcpio/init, there are call to kinit
and it seems kinit mount root partition and do switch_root.

Is it possible to write "hook" for kinit?

P.S. Why does Arch uses kinit, raw is not trusted?
