- CentOS/EulerOS
For initramfs, run the following command:
lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-`uname -r`.img | grep virtio
For initrd, run the following command:
lsinitrd /boot/initrd-`uname -r` | grep virtio
- Ubuntu/Debian
lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` |grep virtio
- SUSE/openSUSE
- SUSE 12 SP1/openSUSE 13 or earlier:
lsinitrd /boot/initrd-`uname -r` | grep virtio
- SUSE 12 SP1 or later than SUSE 12 SP1/openSUSE 13:
For initramfs, run the following command:
lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-`uname -r`.img | grep virtio
For initrd, run the following command:
lsinitrd /boot/initrd-`uname -r` | grep virtio
- SUSE 12 SP1/openSUSE 13 or earlier:
If virtio is displayed, VirtIO drivers have been installed. For more information, see Creating a Linux System Disk Image from an External Image File.
Otherwise, VirtIO drivers have not been installed. Optimize the private image as instructed in Process.
