The final used size is uncompressed size, for example in my case: $ ls -lth arch/x86/boot/bzImage -rw-rw-r-- 1 dyoung dyoung 6.3M May 24 11:19 arch/x86/boot/bzImage $ ls -lth arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin -rwxrwxr-x 1 dyoung dyoung 25M May 24 11:19 arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin The vmlinuz is 6.3M, uncompressed kernel is about 25M, since yours bzImage is 7.8M, I would expect the final size is around 29M for initramfs, you can check it by: $ ls -lth /boot/initramfs-5.0.9-301.fc30.x86_64kdump.img -rw------- 1 root root 16M May 28 08:59 /boot/initramfs-5.0.9-301.fc30.x86_64kdump.img $ mkdir tmp $ cd tmp $ sudo lsinitrd --unpack /boot/initramfs-5.0.9-301.fc30.x86_64kdump.img $ du -hs . 46M . You can see my kdump initrd is 46M after unpacking. > > -- > Regards/Gruss, > Boris. > > Good mailing practices for 400: avoid top-posting and trim the reply.
