Control: retitle -1 crypttab source specifications shouldn't be converted to /dev/block/$maj:$min Control: severity -1 important Control: tag -1 pending On Sun, 08 Jul 2018 at 18:53:07 +1000, Ian Tester wrote: > Upon further exploration, it appears the problem is that /dev/block is not > being created and populated on this system.

With a running udev daemon `udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add` creates and populates that directory. This is done at early boot stage and I'm not able to create a bootable environment where this is not the case, so I'm lowering the severity to non-RC. That being said there is no reason to convert the crypttab source specifications to /dev/block/$maj:$min. (We do want to do the conversion when traversing the sysfs hierarchy, but for the crypttab it's unnecessary.) This commit should do it: https://salsa.debian.org/cryptsetup-team/cryptsetup/commit/0d03f850113b3e5bd0d8211f0bc0161455e09368 -- Guilhem. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It should take care of creating /dev/block/$major:$minor, cf. https://sources.debian.org/src/systemd/239-5/src/udev/udev-node.c/#L337 That being said, ‘cryptsetup-run’ is missing a dependency on the ‘udev’ package. (OTOH ‘cryptsetup-initramfs’ pulls it in as ‘initramfs-tools’ depends on it.) Also instead of using hardcoded ‘/dev/block/$major:$minor’ for source devices we should probably query udevadm info -rq name /sys/dev/block/$major:$minor (On your system, does the above command return the path to the source device?) -- Guilhem. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
