https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/40651

Description:
Hi!
I'm trying to create my initramfs with zstd compression, to do so I added 
`compression="zstd"` to `/etc/dracut.conf.d/foo.conf` but neater installing kernels or runing dracut by hand the initramfs is created.
Also I tried to use `xbps-reconfigure -f foo` with the same result.
I build the kernel with that option enabled, also have zstd installed (I use btrfs with zstd compression)
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Comment:
Does running `dracut` manually provide any useful output? Make sure you aren't running with `-q`/`--quiet`  and, if that doesn't produce anything useful, try `-v`/`--verbose`.

Hi!
Always gives the same error, `/bin/dracut: line 2176: zstd: command not found`
It doesn't matter if I use config or running it manually

Comment:
Somehow I doubt btrfs relies on the zstd executable to do its encryption. If you don't see `/usr/bin/zstd` in response to

    which zstd

or

    command -v zstd

then you don't have the `zstd` package installed or your installation is corrupt.

btrfs doesn't require zstd installed to use zstd compression, it's zstd module from kernel.
Please install `zstd` package.

Hi!
You all were right, I had libzstd but not zstd. 
Now I can use zstd with dracut.
Thanks U all and sorry 4 all the trouble
