Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.145 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
May I asked for patience in advance, since I am not a hardcore Dev/Programmer in Linux Area. But, I am sure there is an issue, when installing packages or upgrading my Debian system, with the generation of those needed initramfs files for those installed kernel versions like ~6 years ago in: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/commit/b4804ddacf4082feb263d83b1b5c99be27850fc4 E.g: Always when upgrading the Trixie Testing, those initramfs files will not only be generated for each installed kernel version; this 'update-initramfs: Generating ..' process will also be executed several times during the whole upgrade process. I can understand this on my testing env, but I also recognized this on the latest Debian EDU 12.8 from which I upgraded into Trixie testing. In case any more infromation may be needed, don't hesitate to cotact me. Thank you for your effort and your job on realizing Debian. Kind Regards, Roger Follow up on requested reportbug Q's: * What led up to the situation? This situation always occurs when installing packages or upgrading the system * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I already tried different EDU/non-EDU relases, Testing releases and also some changings in BIOS on memory timings/handlings. Also I already fiddled with 'COMPRESSLEVEL=x' option. * What was the outcome of this actions? It did not change a bit. * What outcome did you expect instead? At least I expected a reduction of generation times on the execution of 'update-inintramfs' I don't know if of any relevance: 'ext4lazyinit' was still running during those upgrade steps; since it was the upgrade done at last to Testing. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 117M Jan 5 05:16 /boot/initrd.img-6.11.10+bpo-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 121M Jan 5 05:14
