[Bug 1651818] Re: busybox-initramfs needs different compile options to work with cryptroot-unlock

[Martin Scheidel]

Hi,

I would like to see this issue solved asap, IMHO there are several ways of doing that, both quite simple:
1: adapt the unlock script to only use commands and options available in the small version of dropbox, i.e. only ps and adjusting the sed to reflect that (seems possible after reviewing the code)
2: include the regular size busybox in initramfs (works out of the box, I have tried it)
3: use the compile options mentioned above, did not verify that, however.

kind regards, martin

  The cryptroot-unlock script in the cryptsetup package does not work in initramfs.
  It fails because "ps -e" is not available in busybox for initramfs.
