Hi all. I'm thinking about some improvements that can be useful in future, especially on tiny systems, and that should be added before 5.0-beta release if they'll be accepted as useful:
1) Split single solid initrd to multiple files, for ex. - basic initrd with binaries, and additional files with kernel modules (usb variant, cd variant, etc). Syslinux supports multiple initrds: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#INITRD_initrd_file This can save some valuable space on tmpfs. Also this allows to add single arch-independent initrd, and arch-dependent initrd additions with modules. 2) Add support of zram - compressed ramdisk (compressed block device in memory, which can be used as swap or as base device for some filesystem). But I still unsure in what way we should use it: as typical 'swap in RAM' device, or as block device(s) instead of tmpfs ones. In 1st case tmpfs should be pushed in the 'swap' first, and it looks more flexible, but 2nd case has it's own advantages. Any suggestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec? Nothing is better than sec when it comes to monitoring Big Data applications.
