Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.117 Severity: critical File: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/fsck
How are we going to boot with an empty etc/fstab? It is the only empty file in the whole initrd.img ! dd if=/boot/initrd.img-3.16-2-686-pae skip=6|zcat| cpio -vt|perl -anwle 'next if /^d/; print unless $F[4]' 28648+1 records in 28648+1 records out 14667780 bytes (15 MB) copied, 1.00837 s, 14.5 MB/s 71060 blocks -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 5 03:38 etc/fstab Setting up initramfs-tools (0.117) ... update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated) Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.117) ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16-2-686-pae Warning: couldn't identify filesystem type for fsck hook, ignoring. OK in /etc/fstab I changed root's type from auto to ext4, reinstalled initramfs-tools, and the warning went away. But still couldn't boot, as etc/fstab as generated was still 0 bytes. Maybe one must take all the autos out completely. Here's my fstab. You can see if maybe that will fix it.

When we try to boot we get lots of "-f: no such file or directory", "fsck: no such file or directory", "mount: Usage ..." etc. No init found, etc. P.S., other programs can deal with "auto". Indeed one must be able to use "auto" 100% in their fstabs! Does my using auto mean that my disks will no longer be checked? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
