Description
Ubuntu provides a linux-virtual
package which depends on the same kernel as the linux-generic
package does, but omits dependencies on some kernel modules that are not needed to run on common hypervisors like ESX. Installing linux-virtual
in place of linux-generic
results in a slightly smaller initrd image (60MB vs 79MB). Some quick testing showed no appreciable difference in reboot time. Overall, it seems that replacing linux-generic
with linux-virtual
would save ~280MB of disk space.
It would be nice at some point to replace the delphix-kernel-generic
package's dependency on linux-generic
with one on linux-virtual
.
