2014-12-01 06:45:12 Alexei Sheplyakov description Debian installer's initrd.gz on Fuel ISO is not compressed, and contains (a broken) chunk of itself: $ file /mnt/ubuntu/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz /mnt/ubuntu/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz: ASCII cpio archive (SVR4 with no CRC) $ cpio --list < /mnt/ubuntu/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz | grep -e 'initrd\.gz' initrd.gz Thus initrd (or rather initramfs) is more than 2x larger than it should have been: $ ls -sh /mnt/ubuntu/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz 55M /mnt/ubuntu/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz The original initrd is: $ ls -hs local_mirror/ubuntu/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz 20M local_mirror/ubuntu/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz This slows down the provisioning for no good reason and puts the extra load on the master node.
