[Bug 263598] Re: Hardy: Persistent mount of casper-rw

[Brian Murray]

I'm setting this bug to Won't Fix as Hardy is no longer a supported
release of Ubuntu.  Additionally, the find_cow_device has changed
significantly and the calls to it seem to be correct.

scripts/casper:        dev=$(find_cow_device "${snap_label}")
scripts/casper:        cowprobe=$(find_cow_device "${root_persistence}")
scripts/casper:        homecow=$(find_cow_device "${home_persistence}" )



** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

Title:
  Hardy: Persistent mount of casper-rw

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hi,
  On reaching a dead end, when my Hardy would not mount the 'casper-rw' partition on boot to provide me persistence, I debugged the scripts in 'initrd', and found the following bug:

  File: casper-helpers
  Function: find_cow_device

  Issue:

  echo "$device"
  return

  Which should actually be:

  echo "${device}"
  return

  On making this fix, my hardy boots fine off the USB device, and provides me persistence.
  This code was found in the 'initrd' that came along with my Kubuntu distro.

  I think the kernel version was: 2.6.18 (Will confirm).

  I had checked an initrd for version 2.6.24, and found the same issue,
  however users report that it works for them.

  But I had to make this fix for it to work for me.
  (I can provide the script contents if needed).

  Please advice if this is indeed a bug.
