Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.88
Severity: important
The postinst of this package attempts to regenerate the initramfs, but
fails on my system.
The root filesystem is an XFS filesystem on LVM/dm-crypt. One of the
functions in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions attemptes to
determine this, and fails to operate properly. The failing code is:-
# findout root block device + fstype
eval $(mount | awk '/ \/ / {print root= $1 \nrootfs= $5; exit}')
block=${root#/dev/}
block=${block%[0-9]*}
# Error out if /sys lack block dev
if [ -z ${block} ] || [ ! -e /sys/block/${block} ]; then
echo Error: missing ${block} root ${root} /sys entry
exit 1
fi
On my system, mount returns the following for the root filesystem:-
/dev/mapper/draupnir-root on / type xfs (rw)
The mkinitramfs operation thus bombs out with:-
Error: missing mapper/draupnir-root root /dev/mapper/draupnir-root /sys entry
This leaves the package in a half installed state, and all subsequent uses of
mkinitramfs also fail for the same reason.
I believe this used to work properly with previous versions of the package.
