Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120
Severity: grave
after recent upgrades, which triggered update-initramfs, i've got my system
unbootable, compalining that /sbin/reiserfsck can not be run.
i've dug into the problem, and found that binary isn't copied
by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/fsck. the latter has the following lines:
for type in $(get_fstypes | sort | uniq); do
if [ "$type" = 'auto' ] ; then
echo "Warning: couldn't identify filesystem type for fsck hook,
ignoring."
continue
fi
+++ [ "$type" = "reiserfs" ] && copy_exec /sbin/reiserfsck
prog="/sbin/fsck.${type}"
if [ -h "$prog" ]; then
link=$(readlink -f "$prog")
copy_exec "$link"
ln -s "$link" "${DESTDIR}/$prog"
elif [ -x "$prog" ] ; then
copy_exec "$prog"
else
echo "Warning: /sbin/fsck.${type} doesn't exist, can't install
to initramfs, ignoring."
fi
done
(line marked with +++ is added by me as a fix).
the behaviour is that if fsck.$type is binary, it copies it. if it's a link, it
copies linked file too. but fsck.reiserfs is not a binary, neither a symlink.
it's a wrapper script:
#! /bin/sh
# Treat the -y flag the same way other fsck.* instances do
ADD_OPTS=""
for opt
do
case "$opt" in
--)
break
;;
-y)
ADD_OPTS="-a"
;;
esac
done
# Be sure to invoke reiserfsck quitely for booting over slow consoles
exec /sbin/reiserfsck -q $ADD_OPTS "$@"
so we need to modify hook script like i did to fix this. maybe we also need to
check, whether other fs utils have such wrapper scripts, so their users won't
get stuck with the similar problem.
