If you do much with virtual machines, it is handy to have it
That's a reason for splitting out kpartx - and I agreed on that part already. > installed but you don't need it in your initramfs.

MP needs the hook to update the initramfs but kpartx doesn't. So I think there should be a separate kpartx package, no kpartx-boot needed or am I missing something? -- Guido > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ > > iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTlwvzAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwx5YH/AkErIpeFvY3ysKQQI/2/83S > K/9VlkSSX8KkdpSo3LBSW4YLsKXS1KsjvHuB+EISNXZynOsfjk8EOmpgDmJzZgqT > Hhntw30QJk4a/7NvZYNuYnBvZ1nrZ+r/jwNXDL84Vc5tOPcILqTakMu129n40smb > NFdBID1On96pA1UNMSRbxh426CpFs8ydZWz5SyYGEINkoCRPLY/O5h8dE/FdKSYA > YXGJmpVEhhASpUwe2BCzoZsGx0ufn8yq1/fa7q2mZRGEtpFJWJRyS39C7D67q9Up > cddUZtqNBKL8nlOe+TfEKHJrtDpjHHLPa4w1DqDiGiXUECDK4si5J+D9aBrqcsw= > =+YJT > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
