Hi. I just finished migration from compressed minix initrd to initramfs that uses compressed as cpio.gz archive with files. I'm done this due to several reasons: 1) Support for multiple initrd files (so, it'll be possible to split initrd module packages); 2) It's much easier to repack .cpio archive, and minix driver can be excluded from kernels (both LEAF and host)
Due to migration I omitted diverting of rootfs into separate ramdisk - IMHO it's really unuseful in that case; rootfs with it's default size will take up to half of available RAM during filling - so it'll be enough big, and it'll .never consume all available memory. (I check this, it's working) One of it's cons that I found - there is no initramfs usage statistics in output of 'df'. Now it looks like migration is completed, and I'll try to reassemble all form scratch to ensure that I don't break something today.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
