+Subject: [PATCH] fix(dracut.sh): use printf instead of echo in mark_hostonly
+
+POSIX requires to interpreted escape sequences. The filenames passed to
+`mark_hostonly` might contain backslashes and therefore might be
+interpreted (dash 0.5.13.1 will do that).
+
+So use `printf` instead to avoid escaping the filenames.
+
+Fixes: https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/issues/2280
