Control: tag -1 pending Thanks all for the patches and discussion, and sorry for not chiming in earlier in the release cycle.
I now merged in Guilherme's patch modulo some minor fixes. My first reaction was this this was an “abuse” of initramfs-tools(7)'s interface since it clearly state that passed local-top stage the root device node is expected to be present (encouraging us to call the local-block/mdadm from local-top/cryptroot, like we're already doing for local-block/lvm2), however it also says later that if local-top fails to create the root device node the local-block scripts will be called periodically. So in the end I like Guilherme's approach to give up early at local-top stage and let the local-block caller take care of the retry and polling logic. In fact on closer look it appears initramfs-tools(7) is now discouraging to do any kind of polling: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/commit/ab9130667d42d0532e8f2900fa3da280dfb61f03 This should allow further simplifying the boot script: no need to loop up to $ROOTDELAY there. And I believe we can even remove the LVM hack for dm-crypt-over-LVM setups, too. Thanks again! -- Guilhem.
