Patch ready, sent upstream. Thanks. Upstream ML post: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.initramfs/2564 I have added tmpdir option instead of changing it to /tmp, because "/tmp is for small files only" as upstream says and this directory might be quite huge in some cases. Patch with tmpdir option is applied by upstream and I have added it in dracut-017-r2. And thanks for the report! I use /tmp on my system, now. :-) Ups, this one: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.initramfs/2565 |
