A user recently reported that his ramdisk doesn't fit on flash (this is on a machine which boots from flash but only has a small 4 MB flash partition for the ramdisk). He uses btrfs but btrfs is not on his / or /boot partition, so the module does not have to be in the ramdisk. Despite the fact that he uses MODULES=dep to generate the ramdisk, btrfs is put into the ramdisk because of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules.d/btrfs I agree with this bug report that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules.d/btrfs should be removed. Can the initramfs-modules maintainer comment on this? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
