Title:
hanging at boot for about 30 seconds since upgrade to bionic
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in initramfs-tools source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
A regression in initramfs-tools causes it to autogenerate config in the
initramfs saying to resume from any available swap devices, even if the swap
device is ephemeral (i.e. swap encrypted with a random key). This adds an
inappropriate 30-second boot delay to any system with randomly-crypted swap,
which includes any system that was installed with encrypted home directories in
earlier releases.
[Test case]
1. Install the ecryptfs-utils package.
2. Enable encrypted swap by running 'sudo ecryptfs-setup-swap'.
3. Run 'update-initramfs -u' to regenerate the initramfs.
4. Reboot.
5. Verify that dmesg shows a 30-second delay before mounting the root
filesystem.
6. Install initramfs-tools from bionic-proposed.
7. Reboot.
8. Verify that dmesg no longer shows a 30-second delay before mounting the
root filesystem.
[Regression potential]
This makes changes to shell scripts, and shell is a perilous language. An
unnoticed bug could cause all initramfs generation, and thus all kernel
installation, to fail for some users. A regression could also cause a user to
lose hiberation support that they currently have.
[Original description]
Since upgrade to Bionic ubuntu is hanging at boot for about 30s. A `dmesg`
shows
```
[ 3.407230] clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc
[ 34.632583] EXT4-fs (sda2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Opts: (null)
```
This is 100% reproducable and is always 30s minimum. I do not know in
which package to report this properly – please excuse me.
