https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786318 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786318#c18 --- Comment #18 from Felix Miata <mrmazda@earthlink.net> 2014-06-05 23:46:13 EDT --- There is as yet in Factory only marginal evidence this has been improved at all, with a zypper dup causing one run of initrd creation (new initrd for every installed kernel) ending each dup session. -> reopen I precede each zypper dup thus: zypper -v in zypper libzypp libsolv-tools rpm glibc udev systemd dracut That generates rebuilds of initrds for each installed kernel as many as five times, according to how many of the packages listed in comment 0 (in Factory: -mkinitrd; +dracut) have updates available. Developers with their new computers and SSDs might not see this as a problem, but wasted time is considerable with older single core CPUs and spinning storage media. So I'm now setting each initrd immutable to work around this nuisance, which means I'm unlikely to ever discover on my own if this ever really gets fixed. This is made more annoying by the apparent exclusive openSUSE behavior of obliterating all existing functional initrds for every upgrade of the various packages that can affect what an initrd contains. With e.g. *buntu, Rawhide & Cauldron, initrds are generated automatically only at kernel installation time, never rebuilt as an automatic part of a distribution upgrade process. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
