Bug#773643: initramfs-tools: mkfs.* not added to initrd image (Warning: couldn't identify filesystem type for fsck hook, ignoring.)

[Paul Menzel]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.118
Severity: important

Dear Debian folks,


since some time, the filesystem type of the LUKS encrypted root
partition (/) is not detected.

        $ sudo update-initramfs -u

Unfortunately, I do not know when started. Either due to a
`initramfs-tool` upgrade or testing `dracut`, where I had to switch to
using UUIDs.


Thanks,

Paul
