Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.4 How can one just _assume_ that nobody will ever adjust their disk partitions ever?
In /var/lib/dpkg/info/initramfs-tools.preinst you do # First time install. Can we autodetect the RESUME partition? So then forever and ever /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume and thus $ zcat /boot/initrd.img-2.6.*-trunk-686|cpio -i --to-stdout conf/conf.d/resume contain this never changing resume partition from years ago when we first bought the computer. OK, now let's look at what happens when the user boots. He will see Loading... please wait readlink: No such file or directory Which of course also zip way off the screen, and don't end up in any logs. Now he will wonder "gee, those guys are missing the "readlink" command". Bug#564812 And when one day he does actually try to resume... who knows what will happen. Anyway it makes much more sense to check where the swap space is located upon each time /boot/initrd.img.* is made. -- And perhaps even more like each boot or shutdown or ... suspend. Or upon boot warn the user that it was detected that his swap partition is not where it used to be, and he should now "remove and reinstall initramfs-tools"! (as apparently there is no script command to fix it short of editing the file by hand.) ... (And don't just let the message fly off the screen beyond where Shift PgUp can reach, and not kept in any log file.) Also man initramfs-tools: resume On install initramfs-tools tries to autodetect the resume parti- tion. On success the RESUME variable is written to /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume. The boot variable noresume overrides it. Here again it is like the author _just assumes_ that the RESUME part of the computer is the only part of the computer that never could change. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
