The required functionality can be easily added to Dracut and it would just to take maybe 5 minutes to do so. However I wanted to take the opportunity to validate if this is still the preferred option as that we had quite some complaints about the size of the initrd, etc.
The size of the "host only" initrd can be reduced significantly by using --xz instead of the default gzip compression..but then people may complain about compression speed -_-.
It's probably a reasonable trade-off, especially for large initrds. Even for relatively tiny initrds, using xz gives a decent saving: Compr Size Time gzip 5379419 10s xz 3936824 18s 8s extra runtime for a 1.4Mb reduction. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
