Starting a new thread - it's my last day at work before two weeks holiday, I felt like playing with dracut a bit. Per Jessen wrote:
On a test-system running 12.3:
1st attempt: Running dracut with the default options produced an initrd of 27Mb, more than 4 times bigger than the initrd made by mkinitrd. It took 50 seconds (mkinitrd took 10seconds). 2nd attempt: omitting a few modules created an initrd only 2.5times bigger and in only 35seconds.
I'm working on figuring out what else to omit.
Ah, "--hostonly" helps a lot - that got me a 4.4Mb initrd in 13seconds, about 30% smaller than with mkinitrd. The next thing is to see if works. This build seemed to include a lot less stuff/modules than mkinitrd. I guess I need to add some modules. Problem - I need 'iscsi', which is supposedly a dracut module, but when I try to build it, I get E: dracut module 'iscsi' cannot be found or installed. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.0°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
