[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#671056: Looks like a dup of #641662

[Ralf Jung]

Hi,

I just looked a bit into this issue:
The error is printed by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks and the problem is 
that cryptsetup sees in /etc/uswsusp.conf that /dev/sda2 is my resume device - 
which is okay, that's my swap partition - and then tries to get the "canonical 
name" (whatever that is) of it.
For the root device, this somehow works because the device is specified by 
UUID, and then the "support crypttab UUID/LABEL entries" part of 
canonical_device kicks in - however, the name comes from the fstab, not the 
crypttab (so this might actually be a bug?). You seem to have a /dev/... 
device in your fstab for root, therefore you see this error.

Maybe some cryptsetup maintainer could shed some light on how this script in 
general and canonical_device specifically are supposed to behave when root 
and/or swap are not meant to be encrypted? Currently I can't do any more 
analysis or even suggest patches.

Kind regards,
Ralf
