Go back and look at what Goswin wrote in the first place: > As long as debian does not provide support for kernel independent non > breaking initramfs support (i.e. not regenerated on every whim and > break) having / outside lvm and no initramfs is a real plus. It sounds like he feels that having an initramfs is very fragile the way Debian handles it now. If / is outside of lvm, then when the initramfs breaks, he can boot up without it and get to a place where he can regenerate an initramfs. That's not "a religious taboo against initramfs." That's sensible troubleshooting behavior. --Ken -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
