Created attachment 63318 [details, diff] removes the swap library files Just copied the section from the gen_initrd.sh file where it removed the "${TEMP}/initrd-temp/lib/evms/*swap*.so" files and changed it to the correct initramfs path "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib/evms/*swap*.so"
In my commit queue, as a sidenote you can just do """rm "${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib/evms/*swap*.so""" instead of having to do a for... do... rm... done construction. Thanks!
(In reply to comment #2) Didn't think about doing it that way, so I tried it two things I ran into that you might or might not have done... 1. The path should be ${TEMP}/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib/evms/*/*swap*.so There is a folder inside the evms folder and that's the one that contains the swap file. 2. Can't put quotes around the path listed above, it will fail saying: "rm: cannot remove `/var/tmp/genkernel/initramfs-evms2-temp/lib/evms/*/*swap*.so': No such file or directory"
Fixed in 3.2.3, thanks!
