Re: Dracut + Disk Crypt Passphrase Timeout
Is this timeout normal and expected or is it a bug? (I'm not worried about it, but thought someone might like to know if it's unexpected.) I've seen this as well. It's certainly disconcerting to come back to a workstation and find it dropped to an emergency shell. So, I'd certainly call it a bug. Others do too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868421 It's definitely a bug. The problem is that no one knows whether this is a dracut or systemd bug, and none of the respective maintainers have shown much care about the issue. I hope that F18 release will make more people report this problem and this activity will wake them up. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

I hope that F18 release will make more people report this problem and this activity will wake them up. I have encountered this bug several times. First I thought it's something serious. Then I realized that rebooting cures this problem and my computer works good. I started to diagnose problem (read messages from dracut) after 4 or 5 occurrences. It's very wrong! I think lot of users with disk encryption enabled might encounter this bug because it's not so rare to make coffee when your system boots up. Then you miss this time window to enter the password and ? F*, my system is broken again. I don't believe all Fedora users are sysadmins or geeks smart enough to take this kid of error easily. There should be at last huge banner with red blinking messaged Time out! Please, reboot.

You wouldn't believe how often and how hard it is to convince the sysadmins and geeks that not all Fedora users are sysadmins and geeks. Your feedback is needed :) This bugzilla is the correct way to start nagging them: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=868421 After we resolve this one, we will probably discover other issues lurking (systemd), but the initial bug is in dracut, I believe. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test

I have just installed F18 (with RC1) and configured the disk crypt feature. I just did my first boot, saw the prompt for the passphrase come up when I got called off to tend to problems elsewhere. Upon returning I noticed that my system was now in a dracut emergency recovery shell. I saw some message about a timeout, but had already hit C-A-D before taking good mental notes. Is this timeout normal and expected or is it a bug? Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=861123 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=881670 but one that will probably be documented as a known bug rather than blocking the release of F18. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com+1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
