i18n mode, increasing available blocks and inodes
rootdisk.sh does
info "i18n mode, increasing available blocks and inodes"
blocks=$[$blocks+3200]
inodes=$[$inodes+200]
While I can see we might need a bigger initrd for i18n, I don't think
this is the right way to handle it. I just turned i18n on for hppa, and
ended up with a broken initrd. hppa has root_bin_size := 6000 and the
kernels are built with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=6144. Result was that
rootdisk.sh built an initrd of 9200K, and the kernel could only see the
first 6144K.
I think the size of the initrd should be specified in $arch.vars, and if
an arch wants to make it bigger when they turn on i18n, they should do
so in $arch.vars.
