Public bug reported:
This bug has been reported upstream both to dm-cr...@saout.de and pkg-
cryptsetup-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
I've recently upgraded one of my fully encrypted systems from Ubuntu
12.10 to 13.04 Alpha, and was surprised to see my system sometimes fail
to boot, complaining it cannot find evms_activate.
I just checked and noticed a logic error in /usr/share/initramfs-
tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot : If the crypto source is unavailable
(script line 205) it then tries to activate both LVM and EVMS (line
160), AND EXITS IN ERROR IF EVMS IS NOT AVAILABLE on system. It doesn't
give a shit trying to guess whether EVMS is needed or not, it plain
fails and exits.
This really looks like a serious bug - that has started preventing my
system from booting randomly at times... - and needs a fix, especially
taking into consideration that EVMS is essentially and obsolete,
abandoned system, that will thus be available on very few systems, with
good chances that this bug will then be triggered...
