mkinitrd and xfs


Hi folks,

It took me a bit of web-searching to find out how to build an initial ramdisk (initrd) image using 2.6 kernel modules for a system with an xfs root partition.

I have included an example in case it can help someone else. The example is for building an initrd image using 2.6.13 kernel modules for a system with an xfs root partition.

From the boot directory (cd /boot) use:
mkinitrd -c -k 2.6.13 -m exportfs:xfs
Then edit your boot loader to load it as usual (refer to "man mkinitrd" or "README.initrd" for details).
