Bug#944779: initramfs-tools-core: debug setting does not turn on tracing for scripts called by init
Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.130ubuntu3.9
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer
Dear Maintainer,
When adding "debug" to the kernel commandline debug output is turned on and is
very useful for debugging. However, none of the scripts (eg. local-premount/resume)
recognize the debug variable to turn on tracing as in init. I simply added the
line "[ -n "${debug}" ] && set -x" as the first line in local-premount/resume
and now I get debug logging when the debug kernel parameter is added. This line
should be added to all scripts, or at least the scripts run by "run_parts".
Glenn
