--- Begin Message ---Package: util-linux Version: 2.27-1 Severity: important Control: affects -1 cryptmount This breaks cryptmount when run as a user. cryptmount tries to use /sbin/fsck to check the filesystem, /sbin/fsck fails to be able to run the correct filesystem check, returns an error and cryptmount refuses to mount that filesystem. For example: $ cryptmount gpg Enter password for target "gpg": [cryptmount-fsck]: error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext2 for /dev/mapper/gpg Correct behaviour: $ /sbin/fsck /dev/null fsck from util-linux 2.26.2 e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015) fsck.ext2: Inappropriate ioctl for device while trying to open /dev/null The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> or e2fsck -b 32768 <device> Incorrect behaviour: $ /sbin/fsck /dev/null fsck from util-linux 2.27 fsck: error 2 (No such file or directory) while executing fsck.ext2 for /dev/null This is 2.26.2: $ strings $(which /sbin/fsck)|grep sbin /sbin:/sA :/sbin/fI /sbin:/sbin/fs.d:/sbin/fs and this is 2.27: $ strings $(which /sbin/fsck)|grep sbin /sbin This suggests that /sbin/fsck is no longer adding /sbin to the path to search for fsck.${fstype} programs. It is possible to work around this change in behaviour by adding /sbin to the PATH, thus: $ PATH=$PATH:/sbin /sbin/fsck /dev/null fsck from util-linux 2.27 e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015) fsck.ext2: Inappropriate ioctl for device while trying to open /dev/null [etc] -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-rc7-00125-gd0b89bd (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59.2 ii libblkid1 2.27-1 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libfdisk1 2.27-1 ii libmount1 2.27-1 ii libncursesw5 6.0+20150810-1 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.1 ii libselinux1 2.3-2+b1 ii libsmartcols1 2.27-1 ii libsystemd0 226-1 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20150810-1 ii libudev1 226-1 ii libuuid1 2.27-1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian14 ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-59.2 ii tzdata 2015f-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 util-linux recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---Hello! As previously discussed this is not considered an issue within util-linux. A solution for cryptmount has already been implemented via http://bugs.debian.org/779851 I've just tagged this bug 'wontfix' to mark that no change has/will be implemented on the util-linux side for this. Now closing the report to avoid it cluttering up the backlog. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
