Re: Some of the parameters used in my genisoimage command don't produce a bootable ISO image

[Mario Marietto <marietto2008@gmail.com>]

Hello. Both these commands :

# find . -print -depth | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../../initrd.img-5.19.0-15.2-liquorix-amd64

# find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../../initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64

produce this warning :

find: warning: you have specified the global option -depth after the argument -print, but global options are not positional, i.e., -depth affects tests specified before it as well as those specified after it.  Please specify global options before other arguments.

It is a warning,not an error. But why does it happens ? Can I "fx" it ?

There are some kb of difference between the files produced by the two techniques :

79.3 MiB (83,106,001 byte) : find . -print -depth | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../../initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64

79.3 MiB (83,108,291 byte) : find . | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../../initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64

If I have understood correctly,is this the correct form ?

find . -print -depth | cpio --create --format='newc' > ../../initrd.img-5.10.0-18-amd64

I rarely use cpio, but recently there was a thread on tar and unwanted
hard links in the created archive. "find" output mixes regular files and
directories. If the archiver recursively walks through received
directories then result may differ from expectations.
