Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.40-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I added the following line for a dm-crypt partition to my fstab:
LABEL=crypt_office /office ext3 defaults 0 0
When I rebooted, the system hung after printing:
Checking root file system...fsck 1.40 (29-Jun-2007)
Each fsck during the boot process can be interrupted with Ctrl-C, but
the partitions will be mounted read-only.
While fsck.ext3 works perfectly, fsck seems to have a problem with the
dm-crypt filesystem label in fstab. Any fsck call hangs reproducibly
as long as the fstab entry with the label of an unavailable filesystem
is present.
workaround: comment out fstab entries with labels of filesystems
which are not available
Here is an strace output of fsck:
