It's the kernel's initramfs config file, or at least the location I use |
| 11 |
(the location is set in the kernel config) |

There's no need to get the timestamps from the initramfs, just the list |
| 21 |
of files. Then you compare the timestamp of the ones in your root |
| 22 |
filesystem with the timestamp of the file containing the initramfs. it |
| 23 |
saves parsing and comparing all those dates, just use the shell's -nt |
| 24 |
test. The only difference between using it with Dracut or the kernel's |
| 25 |
initramfs is how you generate the file list. |
