a user said that he was unable to boot with the root device
being a slow USB device, as the udevsettle call was only
sufficient if the kernel was currently processing an event
which would cause the device to appear. If the event is so slow
that the udevsettle call is made prior to it's arrival
the boot will fail.
The attached patch is used in Ubuntu to implement a sleeping
loop waiting for the device to appear, as is done for a
normal root device. Please consider applying the patch.
initramfs-tools already has a rootdelay parameter which is executed
before the cryptsetup initramfs script. What is the advantage of
duplicating that functionality?
