And one final patch to use panic rather than sulogin on fsck failure.
Thanks for all your patches, I've applied them on top of current
master (and edited debian/changelog on my own, being based on your
patches). The result is currently sitting in branch mika/bug_652459
of initramfs-tools.git.
Does anyone have any objections against the current implementation
of #652459 to support mounting of /usr in the initramfs?
If so, which objections do you have and what needs to be done to
resolve this issue so all involved parties are happy?
If there aren't any objections against the current implementation,
are there any objections against uploading the current state to
experimental?
Just a note for testers:
This patchset does require patches for util-linux ("fsck -R" also
ignores /usr as well as root) and initscripts (remount /usr r/w at the
same time as the rootfs in checkroot.sh, and otherwise handle it the
same as the rootfs). util-linux patch is in #697002. initscripts is
this commit:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/rleigh/sysvinit.git;a=commitdiff;h=d406626ecad8988198542f270b663f3503f0b7ae
For both of these I can put versions in experimental. initramfs-tools
probably needs to have a Breaks: on versions prior to these patched
versions, so it might be worth holding off uploading prior to these
prerequisites being in place. Though if you don't have a separate /usr,
this won't cause any problems. If you do, fsck will fail at boot when
it tries to fsck a mounted /usr, and it will also leave /usr r/o.
Lastly, there is a minor outstanding shortcoming in the ordering of
progress messages with my patchset. I left the ordering as-is, but it
probably wants tweaking so that there's a linear order rather than
nesting messages. e.g. fsck prior to mounting rather than during etc.
This is only cosmetic--it probably just needs the mount message moving
further down; other third-party scripts might also need tweaking.
Note that the patches for all three packages also included the logic for
mounting /etc. If this is not wanted, we should probably drop that at
this point. For initscripts and util-linux, these will be entirely
harmless and will do nothing unless an fstab entry exists; and likewise
for initramfs-tools unless you supply additional options on the kernel
command-line.
Regards,
Roger
