Description:
I was trying out the systemd hook of mkinitcpio, specifically the overlay functionality as requested in this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55648

Systemd has significant issues booting the system with the systemd.volatile=overlay kernel commandline option, therefore I opened an issue at the systemd github.

I was informed that the initrd used by ArchLinux does not meet the systemd minimal requirements;
- /etc/os-release is missing
- for volatile to work, systemd-volatile-root.service must be available.
- systemd should be installed under /usr (given the contents of the initramfs, this is the case)


Additional info:
* package version(s)
systemd 245 (245.6-8-arch)
mkinitcpio 28

* link to upstream bug report, if any
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/16580

Steps to reproduce:
systemd.volalite=overlay
This task depends upon
