Look for "dmsetup udevcomplete" call in udev rules. This is the sync point when libdevmapper continues. This must be the last call in udev chain rules related to device-mapper devices. (Run cryptsetup with --debug and you will see that sync point.)
Sometimes it is hidden by the fact that libdevampper could fallback to device internal nodes creation because it verifies that udev nodes were created (the old way used when you compile it without udev support). Just saying how upstream is designed to work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1780332 Title: vaultlocker does not ensure that udev is triggered to create /dev/disk /by-uuid/<uuid-in-luks-header> symlink and fails Status in vaultlocker: Fix Released Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When an encrypted device is setup up a UUID (osd_fsid) is passed from the charm to be used in the cryptsetup command which accepts a UUID to place into the LUKS header (shown in cryptsetup luksDump <path-to- block-device>). https://github.com/openstack/charm-ceph-osd/blob/stable/18.05/lib/ceph/utils.py#L1788-L1804 UUID comes from osd_fsid https://github.com/openstack-charmers/vaultlocker/blob/8c9cb85dc3ed5dbf18c66a810d189a5230d85c34/vaultlocker/shell.py#L69-L80 # else statement is used here block_uuid = str(uuid.uuid4()) if not args.uuid else args.uuid dmcrypt.luks_format(key, block_device, block_uuid) # creates a LUKS header # ... dmcrypt.luks_open(key, block_uuid) # sets up a device with device mapper decrypting it via dmcrypt https://github.com/openstack- charmers/vaultlocker/blob/d813233179bdf2eec8ed101c702a8e552a966f44/vaultlocker/dmcrypt.py#L44-L56 This UUID is visible in blkid output /dev/sdc: UUID="<luks-header-uuid>" TYPE="crypto_LUKS" and a udev rule exists to create a /dev/disk/by-uuid/<luks-header- uuid> symlink (which is normally used for filesystem -> block device resolution) https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/tree/udev/13-dm-disk.rules.in#n25 ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", ENV{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-uuid/$env{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}" Where vaultlocker fails is in luks_open command (right after luks_format) # cryptsetup --batch-mode --key-file - open UUID=<luks-header-uuid> crypt-<luks-header-uuid> --type luks because it tries to access /dev/disk/by-uuid/<luks-header-uuid> which does not exist. This happens since udev rules are not re-triggered to create this symlink after a LUKS device is created. Solution: call the command below after luks_format before luks_open udevadm settle --exit-if-exists=/dev/disk/by-uuid/<luks-header-uuid- equal-to-osd-fsid> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vaultlocker/+bug/1780332/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
