For initrd, why does 'modprobe' need to depend on libc? (i.e. not full featured modprobe on disk, but a simple, load-only version?)
Couldn't it just use system calls and only provide module loading?
I want to see you maintain such a monster before painting it easy.
Actually, I'd probably use a mini libc that allows tiny static binaries. http://www.musl-libc.org/how.html http://www.etalabs.net/compare_libcs.html http://www.musl-libc.org/download.html Latest version April 14, 2013... seems to go back about 2 years... The lib is configurable and providing a smaller subset of modprobe that doesn't support removing or anything other than what is needed for startup, seems like it would be a much smaller headache than the current set of problems building a large initrd. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
