Never mind that, I found two `touch' instances in the mkinitramfs script. Those can also be replaced with redirections. But, the correct shell redirection replacement for `touch' is: >>filepath not: >filepath as the latter will also truncate the 'filepath'. Here is a patch proposal: --- mkinitramfs.orig 2016-01-18 21:05:05.000000000 +0100 +++ mkinitramfs 2016-01-23 12:18:26.970456642 +0100 @@ -98,7 +98,7 @@ usage fi -touch "$outfile" +>> "$outfile" outfile="$(readlink -f "$outfile")" # And by "version" we really mean path to kernel modules @@ -273,7 +273,7 @@ fi # fstab and mtab -touch "${DESTDIR}/etc/fstab" +>> "${DESTDIR}/etc/fstab" ln -s /proc/mounts "${DESTDIR}/etc/mtab" # module-init-tools Still, that is not the problem cause.
