Subject: [PATCH] initramfs overwrite fix
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~616
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2139a7fbf3effd8cad505871e3a3c308780ada32;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] initramfs overwrite fix

This patch ensures that initramfs overwrites work correctly, even when dealing
with device nodes of different types.  Furthermore, when replacing a file
which already exists, we must make very certain that we truncate the existing
file.
