Hi guys,
Every time I use mkinitramfs I get a warning on the screen:
Creating initrd.img-5.8.11... ln: failed to create symbolic link
'/tmp/initrd-work.dIMxI8Ugai/bin/sh': File exists
done.
Image created is fully functional.
I added ls commands in the script to check the reason before ln command:
ls /tmp/initrd-work.dIMxI8Ugai/bin/sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3785752 Sep 27 13:39
/tmp/initrd-work.dIMxI8Ugai/bin/sh
ls /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3785752 Sep 5 21:44 /bin/bash
Both sh and original bash are the same. Do we really need command below?
line 136: ln -s bash $WDIR/bin/sh
/Alexey
I ran into this when writing the modular mkinitramfs script that I am
working on and forgot about it. I believe the correct fix is to remove
'sh' from $binfiles (let it create the link and not waste the tiny bit
of space in the archive).
