Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85i
Severity: important
update-initramfs from Etch'n'Half fails for me due to a bug in line 247:
UdGate1:~# awk '/boot/{if (match($4, /ro/) && $2 == "/boot") print "ro"}' /proc/mounts
ro
UdGate1:~# cat /proc/mounts
(...)
/dev/md1 /boot ext3 rw,errors=continue,data=ordered 0 0
(...)
Apparently, the substring "ro" in "errors=continue" is interpreted to mean "read-only", thus
update-initramfs refuses to work.
I tired to change the regexp to use "\b" to enforce "ro" to be a single word, but unfortunately
that didn't work either, as I've no awk experience, I'm not sure how to feed awk the correct
expression.
In the meantime I've just commented out this safety check.
Greetings,
Gunter
