Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.3 Severity: wishlist
When using MODULES=netboot there are udev rules included in the initrd like /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules - which usually doesn't make any sense. I'm aware that this is deriving from udev's extra/initramfs.hook though I'd like to discuss what's the best way to get rid of persistent files in the initrd. Something like a "delete persistent infos" feature for initrd generation would be nice. Building generic initrds works if the currently running system doesn't have udev running but on a live system building a generic initrd isn't 100% reliable. What about providing a file /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/blacklist which provides a list of files that should not be included in the initrd (not enabled by default but just when using BLACKLIST=y in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf)? regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
