** Description changed: When overlayroot is used with config of: - overlayroot=crypt:dev=/dev/vdc,debug=1,mkfs=1 + overlayroot=crypt:dev=/dev/vdc,debug=1,mkfs=1 Then the password that is used for the mount is recorded to a file in in /run/initramfs (or /dev/.initramfs on older initramfs-tools). The file name is currently: - overlayroot.XXXXXX - where the 'XXXXXX' is random as it is the result of - mktemp overlayroot.XXXXXX + overlayroot.XXXXXX + where the 'XXXXXX' is random as it is the result of + mktemp overlayroot.XXXXXX There doesn't seem to be any value in having that filename be random. Some things to note: - a.) file is on a tmpfs (initially created in the initramfs and then moved with the pivot) - b.) file does (and should) have root:root permissions and 0600 + a.) file is on a tmpfs (initially created in the initramfs and then moved with the pivot) + b.) file does (and should) have root:root permissions and 0600 It seems a general better idea to make that - /run/initramfs/overlayroot.pass + /run/initramfs/overlayroot.passwd ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 Package: overlayroot 0.31ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-45.66-generic 4.4.21 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-45-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Nov 14 12:28:29 2016 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-07-23 (480 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Alpha amd64 (20150722.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: cloud-initramfs-tools UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
