Title:
Please make compression options customizable
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Currently, using LZ4 as compression type produces an unbootable system, as
lz4 is called without the legacy format option -l, which is required to produce
a kernel readable image.
Also, using lzop there is a very long delay (over one minute) when updating
initramfs, as by default the maximum compression setting -9 is passed with no
way for the user to change it.
Making the compression options customizable (as e.g. mkinitcpio does) would
be very useful for advanced users who wish to fine tune their systems for e.g.
faster boot times, smaller image sizes, etc.
The default options should also be described in mkinitramfs.conf or the man
page so users have a starting point for customization without having to go
through the source code.
For example:
