Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92o Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi. I'm trying to get something like LiveFlash working with btrfs as root filesystem. Currently debian versions of blkid(8) and other e2fsprogs binaries don't recognize it. According to initramfs-tools(8) it's possible to specify filesystem type manually at boot time using "rootfstype=my_fs" parameter. Current version of initramfs-tools waits for root device to appear and checks that filesystem type can be detected: while [ ! -e "${ROOT}" ] \ || ! $(get_fstype "${ROOT}" >/dev/null); do /bin/sleep 0.1 slumber=$(( ${slumber} - 1 )) [ ${slumber} -gt 0 ] || break done But get_fstype don't understand btrfs, so it just waits for timeout here. My problem is that ROOTFSTYPE is used only _after_ this loop and there is no way to workaround it. I think that we should allow get_fstype to fail if filesystem type was provided manually at boot time. We can just check something like [ -z "${ROOTFSTYPE}" ]. Please take a look to attached patch as a reference fix.

an experienced user using rootfstype may aswell know about rootdelay. if not it is easy to look up in man initramfs-tools. thus closing. -- maks
