Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Problem occurs when attempting to do an nfs network boot with no /usr directory
present on the nfs root partition.
At https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/apcs02.html.en it says that
/etc, /bin, /sbin, /lib & /dev must be present on the root partition in order
to boot.
But in the script /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs there is:
# loop until nfsmount succeeds
nfs_mount_root_impl
nfs_retry_count=0
while [ ${nfs_retry_count} -lt ${delay} ] \
&& ! chroot "${rootmnt}" test -x "${init}" ; do
[ "$quiet" != "y" ] && log_begin_msg "Retrying nfs mount"
/bin/sleep 1
nfs_mount_root_impl
nfs_retry_count=$(( ${nfs_retry_count} + 1 ))
[ "$quiet" != "y" ] && log_end_msg
done
which attempts to execute /usr/bin/test immediately after mounting the root
partition and before mounting any of the filesystems in /etc/fstab. This fails
if your are trying to mount /usr from another filesystem by using an entry in
/etc/fstab. The script could be modified to use the shell built-in "test"
command by changing the line
&& ! chroot "${rootmnt}" test -x "${init}" ; do
to
&& ! chroot "${rootmnt}" sh -c "[ -x \"${init}\" ]" ; do
which enables the system to boot when /usr is not present.
