[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#628038: closed by Jonas Meurer <jonas at freesources.org> (Re: Bug#628038: Bug#628038: during shutdown, cannot mount root filesystem read-only)

Hi Jonas,

You state that you closed this bug because I didn't reply within
seven months.

However, I did reply on July 4 to your message from July 1 and
have been waiting since then for your reply:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628038#15

In your message you offered to prepare a package of the new
version of crypsetup that I could install and test on stable.
In reply, I stated that I would be willing to test such a
package if you would provide it. I am still willing to do so.

However, if I am not mistaken in my analysis of this problem,
the fix for the version in stable is a very simple one-liner
noted in my original report. I feel that this would be
appropriate material for a stable update of this package.
Surely it is not desirable to have a package in stable that
causes unclean unmounts of the root filesystem.

Couldn't we do both?
1.) A stable update to be sure that the root filesystem is
unmounted cleanly on shutdown, and
2.) Confirm that the new version with its new way of handling
loopback devices doesn't have this same problem.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Thank you,
James
