Does working hard involve compiling even more packages statically?
I guess, he means keeping udev in / ?
Because adding 80 KiB of initramfs hurts so much? We should then put
more work just to ensure that admin doesn't have to waste 15
minutes to recompile the kernel (if necessary), create an initramfs
and add it to bootloader config?
Took me days to get dracut to work. Where does 15 minutes come
from?
I just took the time I needed to write an initramfs from scratch
and divided it by two, assuming using an already-made tool is simpler.
Wish it was like that for me. I never got one made from scratch to work.
How much time does it take when the initramfs fails?
The same when rootfs fails? Only the fact that initramfs is less likely
to break than rootfs, and you have a pretty good opportunity now to
experiment with it while nothing on your system made it useless without
one.
Funny, I never had the rootfs fail before. I have had init thingys fail
many many times. They lead to a reinstall since I had no idea how to
fix it.
I keep hoping that all the smart people involved in this will see the
mess it is creating. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I'm
sharp enough to see the mess this is going to create and I'm just a
desktop user. I feel sorry for people with more complicated systems
or remote ones.
The mess was created by people shouting 'hey, real men use
separate /usr for no good reason! Be awesome like us'.
I think it is more like people do that when they have a good reason to
do so. I plan to put mine on /usr when I get the chance and know that
this init crap isn't going to break my rig. It's not being "awesome"
either.
