2016-11-29 22:17:39 Scott Moser description Drop: Maintain compatibility with pre- /run configurations -- this was for compatibility with oneiric which is now long gone. === Begin SRU Template === [Impact] overlayfs writes some log information to the tmpfs that was intended to be then viewable after the pivot_root to the real root. The path used was /dev/.initramfs. Due to changes in initramfs-tools under this bug, that path was no longer supported. And the logging was busted. There was no functional problem with this except in the crypt use case as described in bug 1634310. [Test Case] 1.) Start an instance of a cloud image. 2.) Enable proposed and install overlayroot to show fix. $ rel=$(lsb_release -sc) $ echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $rel-proposed main" | $ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/proposed.list $ sudo apt update -qy && sudo apt install -qy overlayroot </dev/null $ dpkg-query --show overlayroot overlayroot 0.27ubuntu1.3 3.) Enable overlayroot and reboot $ echo "overlayroot=tmpfs,debug=1" | sudo tee /etc/overlayroot.local.conf $ sudo reboot 4.) log back in and look around. a.) check that 'overlayroot' is in /proc/mounts $ awk '$1 == "overlayroot" { print $0 }' /proc/mounts overlayroot / overlay rw,relatime,lowerdir=/media/root-ro,upperdir=/media/root-rw/overlay,workdir=/media/root-rw/overlay-workdir/_ 0 0 b.) check /run/initramfs/overlayroot.log exists. [Regression Potential] A regression here is somewhat unlikely. Most likely would be inadvertant failure. As you can see in the fix, the code looks for a dir /run/initramfs /dev/.initramfs and picks the first one that exists. If neither existed for some reason, then debug would remain busted. [Other Info] The full overlayroot/init-bottom/overlayroot can be seen at [1]. The specific change that fixed the issue is in revision 112 at [2].
