init.d/cryptdisks doesnt create symlinks in /dev/disk/by-*

[Kjell Braden]

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

Since edgy we're using UUID=<volume-uuid> or LABEL=<volume-label> to mount stuff.
For this we got to have symlinks in /dev/disk/by-{uuid,label} targeting to the device.

I'm using feisty amd64 and cryptsetup 2:1.0.4-8ubuntu2

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

This patch should fix this issue at least for 2:1.0.4-8ubuntu2:
This would create swaps everytime with $dst as label, don't know if it's the best way, but seemed only useful solution.

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

I'm sorry, this patch wasn't as well tested as it should. I'll have another look at it.

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

thanks for taking care of it. please note that I plan to merge the ubuntu package with the newer version found in debian, so please keep sure that your patch is small enough to faciliate the merging

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

I hope this is small enough (and it really works for me now...)

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Thank you for your bug report and your patch, I'll make a new debdiff and a self-build package for the i386 arch so you can check if it works and don't introduce any new issue.
Once tested, I'll ask for upload on feisty-proposed.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Debdiff available (simply patched the cryptdisks.functions with the above patch, updated the changelog (feisty-proposed).
Debs for i386 and amd64 can be found at : http://www.stgraber.org/download/ubuntu/cryptsetup/ with the orig, diff and dsc files

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

Sorry for the delay, it seems like I didn't got any emails for this bug though I'm subscribed.

I don't use feisty anymore, can anyone else test the updated package?

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

It looks like this got fixed in gutsy.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Is anybody on it for fixing it in Feisty?

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Ben: can you assign this to somebody in the Kernel team who can look into it?

[TJ (tj)]

This looks like a hal script issue. Marking it as 'hal' based on hacking gnome-mount/cryptsetup/hal scripts recently.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

hal is not affiliated with creating /dev symlinks.

[LumpyCustard (orangelumpycustard)]

Please could someone mark this as Won't Fix for Feisty?

[Kjell Braden (afflux)]

Yes, thanks for the hint.
