Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.107
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
It would be nice if the following chage (see attached patch) was made
to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init, which changes the script to uses
blkid instead of /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid}. The reason why I consider
this an improvement is that it allows df to show the actual device:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 73759976 21773136 48240024 32% /
udev 10240 0 10240 0% /dev
tmpfs 1610688 816 1609872 1% /run
/dev/sdc1 73759976 21773136 48240024 32% /
without this patch, you end up with a much uglier df output, which looks
especially horrid for those of us who like 80 character terminals:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 73759976 21773136
48240024 32% /
udev 10240 0
10240 0% /dev
tmpfs 1610688 816
1609872 1% /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/a623d491-1394-41c9-a820-eedafb2981cf 73759976 21773136
48240024 32% /
I've made this change locally, but I suspect other people would
appreciate this and consider it an improvement.
Thanks, regards,
- Ted

Version: 0.117
Since version 0.117, init uses 'readlink -f' to canonicalise the device
name. It does not use blkid but I think it solves the same problem.
