Yes, I understood ... thanks. Aside from that a more general question: Does it it any way help to have a *small* (= as small as possible) initramfs? Maybe on embedded systems but on the big multi-GB-ram-machines we use it doesn't make much difference, right? I ask because in all my reorganizing furor I also thought that now with btrfs only I could get rid of "lvm mdraid" as dracut-modules. I can try ... ;-) (don't call me "ricer") Additional in this context: does it make a noticeable difference which "Kernel compression mode" you choose? I assume it is again an issue for systems with (a) small boot-partitions and/or (b) slower CPUs to select something special here. I checked and see that I use LZ4 anyway already ... seems to be the fastest to unpack as far as I understand the help text. - And then, who writes the howto condensed out of this thread? ;-) Much to learn and understand as always, I appreciate it a lot.
