From ff1522bb7d98450c72aea729f0b4147bc9986aed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Engraf Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2019 15:28:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: cleanup incomplete rootfs Unpacking an external initrd may fail e.g. not enough memory. This leads to an incomplete rootfs because some files might be extracted already. Fixed by cleaning the rootfs so the kernel is not using an incomplete rootfs.
