[opensuse-factory] Heads up: problems with crypttab and LVM/mount by label
Hi all, I had two hours of fun getting my machine to boot again after todays update to FACTORY. * I mount my extra data partitions by label and they are on LVM * I have an old fashioned cryptohome (/etc/crypttab) Right now: * mount by label of LVM seems broken https://bugzilla.novell.com/789020 * cryptohome does not get mounted https://bugzilla.novell.com/789019 Also, I had to uninstall plymouth from "init=/bin/bash" and then mkinitrd, since it did not ask me for the passphrase and did not allow anything else to ask for the passphrasse, but I don't have enough information on that issue to file a bugreport and don't want to reboot my box now that it finally has booted and logged me in again ;-) The workaround for the mount by label problem was to replace "LABEL=/space /space ..." with "/dev/mapper/main-space /space" in /etc/fstab, the workaround for the cryptohome problem is to switch to VT1, log in and do a "mount /home", then switch back to X and log in via gdm. Good luck :-) seife -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi all,
I had two hours of fun getting my machine to boot again after todays update to FACTORY. * I mount my extra data partitions by label and they are on LVM * I have an old fashioned cryptohome (/etc/crypttab)
Right now: * mount by label of LVM seems broken https://bugzilla.novell.com/789020 * cryptohome does not get mounted https://bugzilla.novell.com/789019
Also, I had to uninstall plymouth from "init=/bin/bash" and then mkinitrd, since it did not ask me for the passphrase and did not allow anything else to ask for the passphrasse, but I don't have enough information on that issue to file a bugreport and don't want to reboot my box now that it finally has booted and logged me in again ;-)
The workaround for the mount by label problem was to replace "LABEL=/space /space ..." with "/dev/mapper/main-space /space" in /etc/fstab, the workaround for the cryptohome problem is to switch to VT1, log in and do a "mount /home", then switch back to X and log in via gdm.
Good luck :-)
Installation of M1 using LVM (without encryption) is also broken, it hangs at the partitioning step during installation. I haven't noticed anything on the console and not investigated further so far. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Actually those bugs are duplicates. This was both caused by a mis-ported patch for lvm2 (the "dmsetup export" feature), which I fixed in Base:System, it's waiting for inclusion in Factory as sr#140943.
Also, I had to uninstall plymouth from "init=/bin/bash" and then mkinitrd, since it did not ask me for the passphrase and did not allow anything else to ask for the passphrasse, but I don't have enough information on that issue to file a bugreport and don't want to reboot my box now that it finally has booted and logged me in again ;-)
Zypper up brought back plymouth and I had to remove it again (and boot without "quiet" to get asked for a passphrase). Still no Idea how to debug it :-( -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Considering that this is the -factory mailing list and the goal of factory is to stabilize 12.3 release, and factory has as declared goal to "only support systemd", any kind of advice of not using it is, at this time in Factory, not very productive (unless really meant as a short term workaround, which is not what you are suggesting). What we need is people pulling together in the same direction, towards a rock solid release 12.3... not having a stray community pulling in 15 different directions: we won't reach any of those target points ever otherwise.

I know that any usage of systemv is temporary, or as a check. If it works there, then it clearly is a systemd issue or provoked by it.

Well, plymouth is not supported by non-systemd boot AFAIK. As it apparently is a plymouth problem (removing plymouth and plymouth-scripts and then booting in verbose mode lets me enter the credentials on the console), I don't think I can verify anything with booting with traditional init.
Me, I'm considering writing my own scripts to handle my encrypted filesystem needs (and bypass systemd).
Well, I could of course do this. But as I'm running Factory not jut for fun but also to make sure that the next openSUSE release gets as good as possible, this would not be very productive.

Yes, but I have been told in clear terms (ie, bugzilla) that the old crypto scripts are not going to be supported anymore. I may have no alternative. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

I gave solutions in the bug report on how to handle crypto volumes which
are not auto-mounted, with systemctl.

It lists multiple problems; skipping over fstab/crypttab interaction, there is at least one major usability issue. The following is under 12.2 (sorry still do not have time and guts :) to switch to factory), so factory could be different now. <quote>However, I get a WALL that the system wants the password - But I don't know where to enter that password.</quote> Expecting every user to (know how to) issue "pkexec systemd-tty-ask-password-agent" is naive. For GNOME there is systemd-gnome-ask-password-agent, but it is neither installed by default, nor is it started in GNOME session. I tried to run it manually and got: === terminal 1 ==== bor@opensuse:~> sudo systemd-ask-password --no-tty 'test password request' root's password: Broadcast message from root@opensuse.site (Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:19:18 +0400): Password entry required for 'test password request' (PID 12246).

I'm not aware of such a beast.. I guess the GNOME one should work I
think.
