mountall: hooks/mountall problem

[Andy Igoshin]

ubuntu 13.10 (14.10.2013)
mountall_2.52_amd64.deb

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mountall contains processing of $INITRAMFS_EVENT_DRIVEN variable.

during usual running of update-initramfs some files (passwd, etc) needed for
getpwuid() function are not included in initrd.

this function is required for the package open-iscsi (Bug #1238169) to
work in initrd. so we should either duplicate the code (passwd, etc)
from hooks/mountall in hooks/iscsi or *always* run hooks/mountall.

i would offer to use the second variant. patch is attached.

The attachment "removing of $INITRAMFS_EVENT_DRIVEN if block" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

This initramfs hook is part of an incomplete feature of supporting upstart in the initramfs. No other packages should be relying on this feature, and the $INITRAMFS_EVENT_DRIVEN check should absolutely not be removed.

ok. i will add it (passwd, etc) to open-iscsi (hooks/iscsi).
