(LP: #1548120) -- Andy Whitcroft <a...@ubuntu.com> Fri, 04 Mar 2016 10:12:42 +0000 ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553107 Title: initramfs-tools: UUID checks now fail for NTFS which has upper cases UUIDS Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The new code to lowercase all UUIDs is breaking NTFS mounts because those have UPPERcase UUIDs exclusivly. The correct fix would be to make blkid handle this as it knows what range of values the various UUIDs have and whether upper/lower casing them is even safe. For initramfs-tools it is clear we should be checking that the UUIDs unmodified before attempting to change their case. This guearentees existing installs are never affected. We should likely also only case map those in a known UUID format which is case insensitive.
