[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#586122: Bug#586122: cryptsetup: initramfs-hook is generating confusing error

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hi Stephan.

The reason is, that cryptsetups hook scripts do not yet normalise the
different ways to express devices, e.g.
/dev/disk/by-uuid/340d6393-2aef-4a50-8bde-15f047154e4a
in contrast to
UUID=340d6393-2aef-4a50-8bde-15f047154e4a

I've attached an (auto-rejectable ;) ) patch... which should solve this
issue by adding a normalisation function to cryptroot, that is invoked
in - I hope - all places where devices are collected in that script.

Currently I only know about the following synonyms used:
LABEL=foo <=> /dev/disk/by-label/foo
UUID=foo <=> /dev/disk/by-uuid/foo

My current code has the problem that it will fail, should udev ever
decide to use other strings...

Cheers,
Chris.
