+This subfolder is dedicated to dracut related files.
+
+The folder 'dnbd3-qcow2-rootfs' is a dracut module used to setup
+a client's rootfs based on a (read-only) dnbd3 export made writable 
+through the qcow2 container format of the qemu ecosystem.
+
+To use this module within dracut, you simply need to copy/link/mount 
+the above mentioned folder to '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d' prefixed
+with a numerical priority. We used '90' so far, so the module was linked
+to '/usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/90dnbd3-qcow2-rootfs'.
+
+Once the module has been integrated in dracut's modules, you can build
+the initramfs with the following command:
+
+	dracut --no-hostonly --modules "dnbd3-qcow2-rootfs" <target_path>
+
+Note that the '--no-hostonly' is critical if the machine dracut is
+executed on and the clients supposed to boot the resulting initramfs
+differ.
