Package: cryptsetup Version: 2:2.0.2-1 Hi,
it took me quite some time to figure out how to set up my initrd to include the correct key file. The documentation is actually quite clear *when* one finds the correct bits (search engines find way too many outdated tutorials instead unfortunately... due to https://anonscm.debian.org/robots.txt). One thing that could have saved me some time (and looking into the actual source code of the cryptroot hook) would be a clear indication when key files are copied like it is done for other operations in initramfs scripts. I have expected something like "Adding keyfile ${KEYFILE} as /cryptroot-keyfiles/${node}.key" or similar when updating the initramfs using -v. I would have sent a patch, however, I am not entirely sure how to add a message to add_device() properly since it uses stdout/echo to return required kernel modules. I guess the best would be to refactor the function and use the generic copy_file() function of the hook-functions library that prints a suitable message? Also, since the name and destination directory of the key files are chosen by the script and not influenced by the source name/user it might be nice to document the (naming) scheme. The problem exists since the code was added in r1044 (cf. bug #786578): https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-cryptsetup/cryptsetup/trunk/debian/initramfs/cryptroot-hook?r1=1043&r2=1044&pathrev=1044&; -- Kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Stefan Tauner
