Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.112
Severity: normal

I'm opening this bug since there's a need to check the filesystems
prior to mounting them when mounting /usr in the initramfs.  Tools
like e2fsck refuse to fsck a read-only mounted /usr (/ is special-
cased) which means that doing this after we hand over to /sbin/init
is very hard.

Running fsck in the initramfs has several advantages:
- a reboot isn't necessary if any changes are made
- if there are problems, the user can run fsck on the rootfs
  in the rescue shell if needed
- any filesystem can be checked, including /usr

I'm unsure how much work would be required to achieve this
- can we enable the fsck wrapper in busybox and copy over any
  needed fs-specific fsck helpers?
- would these need rebuilding to avoid an additional library
  dependencies?
- do we copy all available helpers, or just those used by
  specific filesystems?


Regards,
Roger

   [ Roger Leigh ]
   * Generalise logic used for mounting the rootfs:
     - The existing logic was only intended for mounting the root
       filesystem; this logic has been refactored to support the
       mounting of multiple filesystems
     - Add a read_fstab_entry function to parse /etc/fstab on the
       mounted rootfs
     - Add resolve_device function which generalises the existing
       support for resolving LABEL= and UUID= strings to the
       corresponding device node
     - Add general mount_top, mount_premount and mount_bottom functions,
       with boot-script-specific variants for the local and nfs scripts;
       other boot scripts should override them if needed; the local and
       nfs scripts show how to use these to redirect to a specific
       implementation
     - Add general mountfs function to mount a filesystem from the
       /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs.  This works for both local and
       nfs mounts; other boot scripts may override it to provide more
       specialised functionality
     - The local and nfs bottom scripts are run on demand if used; this
       does not interfere with alternative boot scripts being used,
       which will run first
     - Canonicalise device names to match util-linux mount behaviour;
       this ensures that "mount -a" in mountall does not try to mount
       /usr a second time (which it will attempt if the mounted device
       does not match the canonical device name)
   * Mount /usr if present in the /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs
     (Closes: #652459)
   * Check filesystems prior to mounting (Closes: #708000):
     - Add empty /etc/fstab and symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts;
       not essential, but quell a number of fsck warnings
     - Copy fsck and needed fsck helpers, plus logsave
     - Add checkfs function, based on the initscripts checkroot
       script
     - local mount functions will call checkfs prior to mounting
       the filesystem
 .
   [ Michael Prokop ]
   * [3298dea] Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6
   * [a12d5ed] hooks/fsck: fall back to blkid, make sure fsck binary exists
     + install /sbin/sulogin
