I checked the kernel config and it doesn't support initrd. This isn't a surprise, since the boot process doesn't use initrd. However, using initrd may unlock some additional functionality which could be beneficial:

  • secure boot (we can probably have secure boot now, it just won't protect the root partition)
  • root on NVMe
  • if we use our own installation / upgrade script, we can also have
    • a different root filesystem (I usually prefer BTRFS for servers)
    • encrypted root filesystem
    • not worry about setting filesystem size limit during build time
