Subject: [PATCH] Fix flags for initramfs LZ4 compression
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2014 18:14:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140215231447.GA30803@dev.danweeks.net> (raw)

LZ4 as implemented in the kernel differs from the default method now
used by the reference implementation of LZ4. Until the in-kernel method
is updated to support the new default, passing the legacy flag (-l) to
the compressor is necessary. Without this flag the kernel-generated,
LZ4-compressed initramfs is junk.
