Bug#961395: initramfs-tools: failed hardlink initrd.img

[Jan de Kruyf]

Hi,
Bug cannot be fixed see:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#Q:_What_are_the_filesystem_requirements_by_dpkg.3F

In short:
Although /boot/efi must be on a vfat partition, /boot cannot be on a vfat
partition.

It must be on some regular linux partition where it is possible to set
symlinks.

Good luck to all who will struggle with this!

Package: linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.1-rt-amd64 (3.14.7-1~bpo70+1)

[Jan de Kruyf]

Hallo,
There has been an important patch to 3.14-rt in order to solve a
serious lock-up problem mainly noticable with XFS file system.

I like to ask wether you people are, within forseeable time, going to
implement this patch
or else wether I should rather build a custom kernel to suit myself.

I am quite willing to try off course, for the wider community, to
integrate the patch into the debian bpo kernel, but I would need some
guidance as to quality standards.

Thomas's anouncement is below
Regards,

Jan de Kruijf.

This time with proper Subject line :)

Dear RT Folks,

I'm pleased to announce the 3.14.10-rt7 release. 3.14.10-rt6 is a not
announced update to 3.14.10 without any RT changes aside of resolving
the patch conflicts.

Changes since 3.14.10-rt6:

* Do not clear PF_NO_SETAFFINITY flag in select_fallback_rq() -
from Steven

* Prevent workqueue deadlock/stall observed with XFS
