The performance impact should be similar between both methods of reading file contents during ls/unmk-initramfs time. [Other Info] Original bug report: unmkinitramfs fails with lz4 compressed initrds Note: $ lz4cat -t unmkinitramfs_Cz6Yl9 File extension doesn't match expected LZ4_EXTENSION (.lz4); will not process file: unmkinitramfs_Cz6Yl9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1832108/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
