Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.40-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system


I added the following line for a dm-crypt partition to my fstab:
  LABEL=crypt_office /office ext3 defaults 0 0

When I rebooted, the system hung after printing:
  Checking root file system...fsck 1.40 (29-Jun-2007)
Each fsck during the boot process can be interrupted with Ctrl-C, but
the partitions will be mounted read-only.

While fsck.ext3 works perfectly, fsck seems to have a problem with the
dm-crypt filesystem label in fstab. Any fsck call hangs reproducibly 
as long as the fstab entry with the label of an unavailable filesystem
is present. 

workaround: comment out fstab entries with labels of filesystems 
which are not available


Here is an strace output of fsck:

fstat64(6, {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(3, 5), ...}) = 0
lseek(6, 0, SEEK_SET)                   = 0
read(6, "\335\340\317\203\17/\263d\0253\342\210\234z\310}\5<\312"..., 69632) =
