Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.74
Severity: normal

After upgrading to a 2.6 kernel, I found a lot more modules loaded,
including what seemed to be every filesystem module. It seems that
initrd-tools load every existing fs module, instead of only the one used
by the root filesystem. Some of these modules are quite large. Here's
the output from lsmod after booting with /bin/sh as init and running
/etc/rcS.d/S02mountvirtfs:

Module                  Size  Used by
xfs                   585628  0
jfs                   201156  0
nls_base                8672  1 jfs
reiserfs              333368  0
ext2                   65220  1
ext3                  130736  0
jbd                    71576  1 ext3
mbcache                10116  1 ext3
ide_disk               27072  3
unix                   31992  232

Please detect the root filesystem type and load only that filesystem module.

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
