I wonder if they will switch to using zstd for mkinititcpio
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoI thought that was user configurable? Or do you mean by default?
- nwah1 7y agoYea, by default. Last time I tried it manually, the kernel wouldn't boot. Best to have these things handled for you.
- Squithrilve 7y agomkinitcpio is being replaced with dracut so zstd won't probably happen.
- nwah1 7y agoMan page says zstd is an option on dracut http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/dracut.conf.5.html http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/dracut.conf.5.html
- Foxboron 7y agoThe kernel doesn't support booting zstd compressed initramfs' yet, but you can very well use zstd compression with dracut and mkinitcpio
- Foxboron 7y agoWell, that is a bit on a 50/50 coinflip currently. There has been intentions but we need some collaboration from upstream to make this happen. It's not set in stone currently.
