Bug#484799: busybox: mount -f should not mount
Package: busybox Version: 1:1.9.2-3 Severity: normal The whole point of mount -f is to write to /etc/mtab I guess, at least it's how it is sometimes used when the filesystem is mounted by other means. As I read the code mount in busybox sets some flag when mtab is used but ignores the flag when mtab is not used. It should just (or check that the mount *could* be done if it wants to do something - like that the files/directories exist). Attached patch should make bysybox exit when mount -f is used and mtab is not compiled in.

Well… We might want to think of the impacts on preseeding, guided
partitioning, modification of a partition table on which one of the
partition is used for LVM…
Given the current schedule, I wonder if we have enough time and power to
do proper testing.

Use case: I am reinstalling a system which has a separate encrypted,
/home partition.
I think it would be better if I could tell the installer how to use this
existing partition, even if its encrypted. But well, the question was
just meant to bring awareness of a possible issue in the future.

All of the issues you have pointed have been addressed. Thanks! :)

This would make entirely automatic installations through preseeding fail
if partman-md is loaded and previously existing software RAID devices
are detected. Sounds not really desirable to me… :(

I felt while writing the code that reusing mdcfg's template might not be
the best thing. I always feel clumsy when I need to write new ones, so
I took the easy path.
This new version of the patch introduces a new template, inspired by
partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm which displays all affected software RAID
devices and partitions at ounce.
The logic of device_remove_md() has been reworked accordingly.

To make it clear, are you saying "all RAID devices which use at least a
partition on the target device"?
Otherwise, I think we need to keep RAID devices only using other
devices. Use case: system on first disk, without RAID; /srv on other
disks, using RAID 5.

Indeed. We can just restart if at least one device has been removed.
Fourth version of the patch is attached. I hope it'll be the last. :)

commit 2b92a1fd4b598c1936fa90cbf237ecc53f11316d
Author: Jérémy Bobbio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Clean up the initialization of MD devices
The initialization of MD devices in partman previously diverged from what
others partman components are doing, resulting in quite few bugs and
really bad interactions with crypto setup.
* Scanning for existing MD devices
During partman initialization, the init.d/md-devices script now load
kernel modules and scan for MD devices the first time it is started.
This script has been moved to be called before init.d/parted to have
existing RAID partitions listed on the first partitioner run.

Bug#484769: Latest version of busybox on unstable or experimental
Package: busybox Version: 1:1.9.2-3 Severity: wishlist Hello, BusyBox 1.10.3 version corrects some bugs, which makes it more useful and it would help on our development. I would be happy to package it and doing some sponsored (via Wookey or codehelp) upload to experimental or unstable if you are not able to do it and i could be a co-maintainer of this package as I am going through NM process.

Bug#484748: debian-installer: Asks for Latin <-> Russian keyboard layout switch combination twice
Christian Perrier wrote: reassign 484748 console-setup retitle 484748 Should not need console-cyrillic for proper operation thanks Well, Anton pushed for console-setup to be used for Cyrillic languages, so I guess he might have clues about this. The point seems to be that c-s does not work alone from what you claim above So, I prefer reassigning this to console-setup and get Anton's advice. After some more research, the following facts came up: 1) The "unusable keyboard" bug affects the Alt+Shift and Ctrl+Shift combinations (Alt+Shift is the default in MS Windows and thus is a popular choice) 2) After I press Alt+Shift or Ctrl+Shift (i.e., press Alt or Ctrl, press Shift, release Shift, release Alt or Ctrl), the kernel seems to think that Alt (or Ctrl) is still pressed (e.g., after pressing Alt+Shift, F2 switches to the second virtual console or, after typing "cat" and pressing Ctrl+Shift, pressing "O" produces "^O") until I switch the virtual console. 3) If I press this key combination as Shift+Alt or Shift+Ctrl (i.e., press Shift, press Alt or Ctrl, release Alt or Ctrl, release Shift), it works as it should. 4) Some presented options to switch layouts actually don't work (e.g., if I configure LShift+RShift, this combination has simply no effect). -- Alexander E.
