Let me try to be clearer.
The script:
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/cryptroot
adds entries to /conf/conf.d/cryptroot in the initrd.
This is based on what root and resume devices are dependent on
an encrypted device.
For example, supose that we have the device
/dev/mapper/vg0-root where vg0 is a volume group based on
the dm-crypt device /dev/mapper/encbase.
If the entry in /etc/fstab has the root device as
/dev/mapper/vg0-root ...
then the following entry is added to /conf/conf.d/cryptroot in
the initrd
target=encbase,source=/dev/hda2,key=none,lvm=vg0-root
However, if the entry in /etc/fstab is
/dev/vg0/root ...
then no such entry is created.
Moreover, if the filesystem on /dev/vg0/root has label ROOT
and the entry in /etc/fstab is
LABEL=ROOT ...
then again no such entry is created.
Thus one is forced to add all these options to the kernel command
line which becomes quite long!
I hope this clarifies the bug report.
Thanks and best regards,
Kapil.
