It's the kernel's initramfs config file, or at least the location I use (the location is set in the kernel config) > i was actually thinking something like the following (warning needs > work) > > #!/bin/bash > # get contents of lsinitrd | awk for month,day,time, /filename | list > the awked filename There's no need to get the timestamps from the initramfs, just the list of files. Then you compare the timestamp of the ones in your root filesystem with the timestamp of the file containing the initramfs. it saves parsing and comparing all those dates, just use the shell's -nt test. The only difference between using it with Dracut or the kernel's initramfs is how you generate the file list. -- Neil Bothwick Press every key to continue.
