64b4af52961 ("kmod-blacklist-ubuntu: 22-1.1ubuntu1 -> 28-1ubuntu4") doubled the size of the default initramfs. This happened because the upgrade introduced this configuration: remove iwlwifi \ (/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) \ && /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211 This meant that the grep and xargs substitutions, which had been inactive for years, suddenly became active again and became part of kmod-blacklist-ubuntu's closure. Since we're already using /run/booted-system for the kmod binaries, I think it's okay to use it for grep and xargs as well. Both are required NixOS packages, so they're guaranteed to be there. Large increases in initramfs size are problematic, because it's often not possible for users to do anything about them. It's not always possible to increase the size of /boot, because some filesystems like ZFS don't support being shrunk to make way for a bigger /boot. |
