If you want to create lighter, smaller initramfs images, you may want to specify
-the --host-only or -H option. Using this option, the resulting image will

contain only those dracut modules, kernel modules and filesystems, which are
needed to boot this specific machine. This has the drawback, that you can't put
the disk on another controller or machine, and that you can't switch to another
root filesystem, without recreating the initramfs image. The usage of the
---host-only option is only for experts and you will have to keep the broken
+--hostonly option is only for experts and you will have to keep the broken
pieces. At least keep a copy of a general purpose image (and corresponding
kernel) as a fallback to rescue your system.
