[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#762573: initramfs: refuses to boot if a device in conf.d/cryptroot is missing

[Cédric Barboiron]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.6.6-1
Tags: patch

Hi,

I'm booting on 4 encrypted devices, opened as LVM PVs, and use the LVM
mirroring feature for the LVs (including rootfs).

Trying to boot with a missing drive triggers the 'panic -r "ALERT!
${cryptsource} does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!"' error, although it is
possible to boot without this device. (Especially in my case where the missing
device had no LV segment at all anymore.)

I propose the attached patch to skip the device if we exit the shell without
fixing the problem, instead of looping in the panic shell.

Regards
