Specify this parameter to output a log to the console during execution of
the dlmmkinitrd utility.
-f
Specify this parameter to create an initial RAM disk image file that has the
same name as an existing file. If you execute the dlmmkinitrd utility with
this option specified, the created initial RAM disk image file will be
overwritten.
-fstab fstab-name
Specify the fstab file used to determine the root device file system. The
default is /etc/fstab.
initrd-image
Specify the full path name or relative path name of the initial RAM disk
image file to be created by using the dlmmkinitrd utility.
kernel-version
Specify the kernel used for creating an initial RAM disk image file.
Example
The following shows an execution example for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:
/opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin/dlmmkinitrd /boot/initrd- 2.6.18-194.el5-
hdlm.img `uname -r`
For SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server
When creating an initial RAM disk image file, you can do so without specifying
the image file name and the path for the file to be created, or you can specify
these parameters.
When omitting the parameter specification:
Use the kernel that is currently running to create an initial RAM disk
image file in the /boot directory.
The default initial RAM disk image file name for the vmlinuz-version
kernel is initrd-version.hdlm.
Example:
The name of the initial RAM disk image file for the
vmlinuz-2.6.16.46-0.14-bigsmp kernel is initrd-2.6.16.46-0.14-
bigsmp.hdlm.
-i initrd-image
Specify the name of the initial RAM disk image file to be created by using
the dlmmkinitrd utility. This parameter is used to create an initial RAM
disk image file with a name other than the default file name (initrd-
version.hdlm).
If you specify the full path of the initial RAM disk image file:
