Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. seems to be triggered by running mkinitrd (updates to the kernel, mkinitrd itself) 2. 3. Actual Results: initrd very slow on loading original initrd: Inode: 82251 Type: regular Mode: 0644 Flags: 0x80000 Generation: 2511429318 Version: 0x00000000:00000001 User: 0 Group: 0 Size: 10821102 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 1 Blockcount: 21144 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x4de79837:ed69fc68 -- Thu Jun 2 16:03:35 2011 atime: 0x4de0d035:7f8aa388 -- Sat May 28 12:36:37 2011 mtime: 0x4de79837:ed69fc68 -- Thu Jun 2 16:03:35 2011 crtime: 0x4de0d035:7f8aa388 -- Sat May 28 12:36:37 2011 Size of extra inode fields: 28 EXTENTS: (ETB0):1969916, (0-26):1983232-1983258, (27-46):1983714-1983733, (47-52):1982234-1982239, (53-58):1982795-1982800, (59-77):1983832-1983850, (78-95):1983860-1983877, (96-418):1983879-1984201, (419-425):1984468-1984474, (426-445):1984512-1984531, (446-450):1977335-1977339, (451-466):1984536-1984551, (467-542):1984553-1984628, (543-696):1984630-1984783, (697-701):1978880-1978884, (702-945):1984810-1985053, (946-1099):1985057-1985210, (1100-1105):1985212-1985217, (1106-1190):1985231-1985315, (1191-1264):1985331-1985404, (1265-1372):1985407-1985514, (1373-1564):1985516-1985707, (1565-1585):1985717-1985737, (1586-1634):1985742-1985790, (1635-1658):1985858-1985881, (1659-1664):1985883-1985888, (1665-1736):1985892-1985963, (1737-2346):1985968-1986577, (2347-2371):1986584-1986608, (2372-2376):1981488-1981492, (2377-2381):1982297-1982301, (2382-2386):1982322-1982326, (2387-2391):1983395-1983399, (2392-2397):1986630-1986635, (2398-2402):1984802-1984806, (2403-2407):1986610-1986614, (2408-2464):1986674-1986730, (2465-2510):1986732-1986777, (2511-2521):1986791-1986801, (2522-2530):1986805-1986813, (2531-2538):1986824-1986831, (2539-2543):1986836-1986840, (2544-2568):1986856-1986880, (2569-2573):1986882-1986886, (2574-2588):1986911-1986925, (2589-2637):1986959-1987007, (2638-2641):1973536-1973539 copied initrd: Inode: 82103 Type: regular Mode: 0644 Flags: 0x80000 Generation: 1116238714 Version: 0x00000000:00000001 User: 0 Group: 0 Size: 10821102 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 1 Blockcount: 21144 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x4de897b5:b77fce24 -- Fri Jun 3 10:13:41 2011 atime: 0x4de897b5:657b82e4 -- Fri Jun 3 10:13:41 2011 mtime: 0x4de897b5:b77fce24 -- Fri Jun 3 10:13:41 2011 crtime: 0x4de897b5:657b82e4 -- Fri Jun 3 10:13:41 2011 Size of extra inode fields: 28 EXTENTS: (ETB0):1344248, (0-484):1290371-1290855, (485-917):1301313-1301745, (918-1323):1320320-1320725, (1324-2135):1356712-1357523, (2136-2641):1359026-1359531 -- 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.
