Many complex storage environments running within GNL/Linux could benefit from increased disassembly and resource remediation during shutdown. Underdog an alternate /init to create a "late" user context to resume control during shutdown to park media and detach network devices.

Currently there is a fully working initramfs (mkinitramfs/mkinitrd) replacement that is capable of building the early user context images both as separate files or built into the kernel image.

The working proof of concept code for the alternate /init is too messy to sahre just now. /doh.

For Software Engineers, DevOps, Data Architects, and IT Leaders

The progression to modern application stacks and microservices architectures has resulted in orders of magnitude more logs, metrics, events, and traces. Like gravity, data attracts more data, making it increasingly difficult to move and process as it accumulates over time. More than ever, there is a need to be able to stream-process, filter, mask, transform, aggregate, analyze, and route that data to various data tier destinations optimized for specific usage.
