This thread is becoming huuuge. :-)
Excerpts from Mr Dash Four's message of Thu Oct 21 17:48:03 +0200 2010: > My point still stands though - leaving the 'guessing' of the target file > system to mount is not a good idea and <key_dev_fs> should not be > removed as a parameter (it may not be mandatory, but should always be > catered for). File system is mounted read-only, so even on wrong guess nothing bad may happen. I think Karel has made good point about <key_dev_fs> parameter. But if you need to insist on having it, we might introduce following syntax: rd.luks.key=<key_path>[:<key_dev>[:<luks_dev>]] Unfolding <key_dev> in BNF: <key_dev> ::= "UUID=" <uuid> | "LABEL=" <label> | <path_part> <path_part> ::= "FS=" <fs> "=" <path> | <path> Where <path> matches following regular expression: ^/dev/.* Hope everything's clear and that will satisfy you. :-) Karel, what do you think about it? > I would also add that both <key_dev> and <luks_dev> should be able to > support the Linux drive notation (sdXX, hdXX etc) in addition to label > and uuid. It does already with my latest not yet merged patch. Hope to work on it this weekend to be merged on Monday. -- Amadeusz Żołnowski PGP key fpr: C700 CEDE 0C18 212E 49DA 4653 F013 4531 E1DB FAB5
