There's only one of those, and the biggest I've seen so far is 280 MB. The three smaller hostonly initramfs top out today around 166 MB for those with nvidia hardware and some other combination of hardware that's dragging in things I'm not familiar with yet. I'm generally seeing a more sensible 31 MB hostonly initramfs. > We probably do want to bump /boot to 2GB. And all our disk images need > similar adjustments unfortunately. Well the scope is an open question. I'm not seeing pressure on Fedora Server for example. But such setups are probably less sensitive to over provisioning the boot partition, having more storage to begin with (no laptops! probably!) > Since it's possible to have all-generic initramfses as a > configuration, we have to account for it. Oh I see. Well that is a problem but also probably wasn't going to work well on 1 GB boot going back a bunch of releases ago. But the latest nvidia and amd firmware bumps are off the rails large and abrupt changes. -- Chris Murphy -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
