Several compression algorithms are - available, which differ in efficiency, compression and - decompression speed. Compression speed is only relevant - when building a kernel. Decompression speed is relevant at - each boot. - - If you have any problems with bzip2 or LZMA compressed - initramfs, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. - - High compression options are mostly useful for users who are - low on RAM, since it reduces the memory consumption during - boot. - - If in doubt, select 'gzip' - -config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_NONE - bool "None" - help - Do not compress the built-in initramfs at all. This may - sound wasteful in space, but, you should be aware that the - built-in initramfs will be compressed at a later stage - anyways along with the rest of the kernel, on those - architectures that support this. - However, not compressing the initramfs may lead to slightly - higher memory consumption during a short time at boot, while - both the cpio image and the unpacked filesystem image will - be present in memory simultaneously - -config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_GZIP - bool "Gzip" - depends on RD_GZIP - help - The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance - between compression ratio and decompression speed. - -config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2 - bool "Bzip2" - depends on RD_BZIP2 - help - Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate. - Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The initramfs - size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip. - Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you - will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting. - -config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZMA - bool "LZMA" - depends on RD_LZMA - help - This algorithm's compression ratio is best. - Decompression speed is between the other choices. - Compression is slowest. The initramfs size is about 33% - smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip. - -config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_XZ - bool "XZ" - depends on RD_XZ - help - XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm. The initramfs size is about 30% - smaller with XZ in comparison to gzip. Decompression speed - is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip and LZO. - Compression is slow. - -config INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_LZO - bool "LZO" - depends on RD_LZO - help - Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel - size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed - (both compression and decompression) is the fastest. - -endchoice |
