I like the idea of prompting to mount other filesystem, but this would still not address the use-case where an admin do not know he needs the /boot filesystem mounted for recovering his system. This would be the case if recovering said system would indirectly call initramfs somehow (ie, installing/removing a package that calls it, such as multipath- tools for example). This is especially bad as update-initramfs would just go ahead and create a new initramfs in the empty /boot mount point, which would not get loaded by GRUB at next reboot.
Perhaps the real solution is to make initramfs aware of the filesystem on which it should write the initramfs, and make it warn somehow if it not mounted? Just saying. -- When using "Recover a broken system" from the Server CD boot menu, /boot is not mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/320183 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
