Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: uswsusp
Hi,
I have
- a partition encrypted with cryptsetup
- a LVM volume group within that partition
- a swap device as a logical volume within this LVM used both as a swap and a
resume partition, for security reasons to keep it hidden under encryption.
When booting from initrd, first the cryptsetup codes asks me for the password.
Immediately then the uswsusp resume program complains that it does not find
the given resume partition and asks me to manually enter one. If I then enter
the very same
path as given in uswsusp.conf manually, it works.
Debugging revealed that after adding the encrypted LVM group, the kernel takes
some time
to recognize all logical volumes. At the time the local-premount script starts
/sbin/resume, the
device /dev/mapper/vgroup-swap simply does not yet exist. When I then enter
that path manually, this gives
the kernel enough time (about a second) to find and create the logical device.
Solution:
The local-premount script should get the path of the device from the
/etc/uswsusp.conf file and check whether it
exists. If not, it should go in to a loop and check every second (e.g. with a
limit of 5 times) whether the device exists.
Maybe this behavior might be applied only if the device name starts with
/dev/mapper/...

Hadmut
