You can't use safety as a reason for initrd -- it's has a proven track record of having problems. What do you call a proven track record? And don't vaguely point to mailing lists but name them.
I've been using initrd since SUSE started using it and never had a problem with it.
Ditto.
And how many times have you downloaded and rebuilt your kernel? Or how many times have you loaded rpms from factor in the past month? Look at the opensuse-factory list -- they had to use rescue disks for a week, week before last, because it was broken. If you do anything in the boot or kernel area, it makes things incredibly complicated. When was the last time you needed to do an xfs_check on a disk that didn't come up? initrd will fail because it won't mount -- but will need a rescue disk to run xfs's file system checker. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
