After this positive answer, I have done more checks and found the following possible issues: - After this change the DNS-323 (and thus CH3SNAS) will only have 500kB left for a future initrd size increase. If we go over the limit we can switch to xz compression. - The sparc TFTP netboot image seems to be limited to 10MB (according to a comment in the sources) and is already using xz compression to stay below this limit. That said the built image is bigger than this size for 1.5 years (12MB currently) and it seems nobody realised or complained. I am therefore going to replace mklibs by mklibs-copy in git. It's a small change that can be easily reverted if needed. In a few weeks if nothing is reported as broken, I'll start removing mklibs completely. It might take some time to remove it fully as it seems some hacks are well hidden. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurelien@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
