I just realized this does not work for a modular initramfs, composed at load time from multiple files, which is a very real problem. Should be easy enough to deal with: instead of one large file, use one companion file per source file, perhaps something like filename..xattrs (suggesting double dots to make it less likely to conflict with a "real" file.) No leading dot, as it makes it more likely that archivers will sort them before the file proper. >> This version of the patch was changed from the previous one exactly to deal with this case -- >> it allows for the bootloader to load multiple initramfs archives, each >> with its own .xattr-list file, and to have that work properly. >> Could you elaborate on the issue that you see? > Roberto, are you missing a changelog entry for v2->v3 change? The changelog for v1->v2 is missing. Thanks Roberto -- HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES Duesseldorf GmbH, HRB 56063 Managing Director: Bo PENG, Jian LI, Yanli SHI
