Public bug reported:
initramfs-tools/scripts/casper function check_dev will bind /cdrom
to the "device" being checked if it is a directory (and contains a
filesystem.squashfs file).
When will that "device" ever be a directory?
Bug #230716 seems to have introduced the code
if [ -d "${devname}" ]; then
mount -o bind $devname $mountpoint
if is_casper_path $mountpoint; then
echo $mountpoint
return 0
endif
fi
What I don't understand is what "devname" could be that it could be
identifying a directory, other than a directory in initrd (initramfs?),
which couldn't contain the live media.
