Package: mdadm Version: 4.4-11 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear maintainer, my system boots from root-on-lvm-on-raid1-on-intelvroc. The mdadm package installs two hooks into the initramfs to mount /sys/firmware/efi/efivars and then scan for raid devices. This mount command fails: mount -t efivarfs -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars [ 1.845553] efivarfs: Unknown parameter 'relatime' mount: Invalid argument mdadm: error opening /dev/md?*: No such file or directory This leaves me in an (initramfs) shell, i.e. system won't boot. I found two possible fixes: * Remove the "relatime" parameter from the command and rebuild the initramfs. It appears like it's still mounted with "relatime" even without that parameter. * Install busybox. It appears that its "mount" implementation does something different from the one provided by klibc-utils. First aid if anyone is stuck in the initramfs: (initramfs) mount -t efivarfs -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars (initramfs) mdadm --assemble --scan (initramfs) exit System should boot up. If possible, could this bug be fixed in "stable" too, given that the fix is probably small and isolated and it keeps systems from booting? If this is actually a bug in klibc-utils, please forward my bug report.
