Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: wishlist
Currently /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local checks for the
presence of the root device node after local-top has been run but before
local-premount has been run an panics if it can't find it:
# Get the root filesystem type
if [ ! -e "${ROOT}" ]; then
panic "ALERT! ${ROOT} does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!"
fi
eval $(fstype < ${ROOT})
This seems a bit counter-intuitive as one would expect a dir called
"premount" to be run before doing the rootfs checks, so maybe the test
could be moved down to be just below local-premount instead of below
local-top invocation?
If rootfstype might be needed in premount, how about setting FSTYPE to
undefined instead of a panic and delaying the panic to after
local-premount?
