Hi again. A while back I was very pleased with the mkinitrd script because it was so much faster than in Mandrake 7.2, now something has happened to it and there's suddenly not much difference in execution time. The use of diet libc speeded up this process a great deal.
Somewhere in the evolution of mkinitrd it only took a couple of seconds to make a ramdisk, now it takes at least ten seconds (up to a minute if there's a softlink to the source...). Why is that? I still have the same hardware. Is it all in the sh_find function? It seems to scan through the directories over and over and yet over again. It makes no sence to me... -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Oden Eriksson, Deserve-IT Networks/HFE Systems, Jokkmokk, Sweden. | Mandrake Linux release 8.2 (Cooker) for i586 | Current uptime with kernel 2.4.17-5mdksmp: 1 day 55 minutes | cpu0 @ 799.53 bm, fan 4560 rpm, temp +30°C | cpu1 @ 801.17 bm, fan 4530 rpm, temp +30.5°C
