From b117e2ae0cf948d4afe59eee6e503f30f184ddba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Reisner Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 15:42:09 -0400 Subject: use bsdcpio to create images This is a departure from using gen_init_cpio, which proved to be a huge bottleneck in performance. Tests for existance change from being a call to grep, to a simple shell test. In the process, we have to modify the behavior of the -s option, and we lose the -a option.
