Hi - I've been converting a chimaera setup to an encrypted root file system with the option to enter the unlock passphrase via dropbear-initramfs.
This almost works, except I'm running into the problem that the cryptsetup-initramfs script terminates with a "Try again later" message (unlocking the root fs from the console is still possible). This problem is being mentioned a few times, but without a real solution, like here: http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3642 http://maemo.cloud-7.de/irclogs/freenode/_devuan/_devuan.2020-02-09.log.html As quoted in the dev1galaxy thread, the code that displays "Try again later" is this, right at the top of cryptsetup-initramfs: > TABFILE="/cryptroot/crypttab" > unset -v IFS > > if [ ! -f "$TABFILE" ] || [ "$TABFILE" -ot "/proc/1" ]; then > # Too early, init-top/cryptroot hasn't finished yet > echo "Try again later" >&2 > exit 1 > fi After some poking around I found the --full-time option in the busybox ls, and it turns out that $TABFILE is actually a few seconds older than the /proc/1 directory in the initramfs on my system: ~ # ls -al --full-time /cryptroot/crypttab -rw------- 1 root root 75 2022-03-21 00:54:12 +0000 /cryptroot/crypttab ~ # ls -ald --full-time /proc/1 dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root 0 2022-03-21 00:54:31 +0000 /proc/1 When I then touch /cryptroot/crypttab to update the timestamp, the script runs successfully...? Does anyone have an idea why that happens? Is the cryptsetup-initramfs logic wrong, or did -ot at some point have less resolution and didn't look at the timestamp seconds? Is this something Devuan-specific for some reason? Searching the 'net only finds a small handful of results, and only in relation to Devuan.
