There is at least one requirement: No half-implemented features, which only adds more bytes. I've reread the discussions how squashfs made it into the release, and it is still my understanding that one goal was to shrink the size needed by packages carrying modules (initmod, moddb, modules.tgz); until now we have only added one more with 11MB (modules.sqfs), while the three others are still the same (not to mention that the kernel and busybox are somewhat larger due to squahfs support) > > from Andrews commit message: > > "initrd: add basic hw autodetect using squashfs > > > > initial realization. looks working. needs additional features (for > > ex., > > list of nftables/iptables modules to copy from squash) before it'll > > completely replaces moddb." > > We cannot completely remove moddb as _again_ small systems need e > reduced set of modules to be present and may not be able to run > hwdetect. There may be an empty moddb or a missing moddb for larger systems. For those very small systems an initrd/initmod with all modules required will be a better to go. If they are too small to run hwdetect, they are most probably that small, that the required modules are more or less fixed.
