Hi all, 

I am trying to the Alpine installed like described here: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/LVM_on_LUKS

which was working fine for 3.11.2. I am now trying 3.12.0 and I have problems with mkinitfs command. What I do is: 

[… some steps before …]

setup-disk -v -m sys /mnt/
Root device:     /dev/mapper/VG_SSD_RAID-LV_ROOT
Root filesystem: ext4
Boot device:     /dev/sda1
Boot filesystem: ext2
Installing system on /dev/mapper/VG_SSD_RAID-LV_ROOT:
/mnt/boot is device /dev/sda1
100% ######################################################################################################################################################################################################==> initramfs: creating /boot/initramfs-lts
/boot is device /dev/sda1
You might need fix the MBR to be able to boot

Hi,

By default mkinitfs uses /tmp for temporary files and your / is 93%
full, so I think there is not enough space to create the initramfs. You
can specify another location that has more space with the -t option.
