Um, no one out there interested in pushing direct boot from hard disks as being required boot option?
You mean without an initrd? Not me, I'm afraid. Using an initrd works very well for me, without exception. -=--- People were very happy with the horse drawn carriage too, before the automobile came around.
I'm not saying initrd doesn't make people happy, but that it does is a bit strange. Does anyone know why it is better on a specific system than having a system boot off a hard disk directly? You boot off the HD directly and instead of a 20-40M initHD, you load a 3-6M kernel. It generally boots quite a bit faster when optimized -- that IS why the systemd suggest doing that to create a faster boot experience that would work better for most people -- especially since if they need to repair something, all of the hard disks that did mount are there to be used for rebuilding. With initrd, you are limited with many tools read twice off disk -- once for the initrd, and once by the system after it boots. It works very well, but it depends on your needs and wants. Maybe you'd only have one system boot from HD and others from initrd.. there are pluses and cons of both approaches. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
