Description Marc Perrudin 2011-08-07 17:26:15 UTC

Genkernel doen't support UUID and Label for root_keydev and swap_keydev.

Reproducible: Always

An other version of the patch.

Comment 3 Alexander Tsoy 2012-04-24 18:34:37 UTC

Similar problem with mounting of /usr partition by initramfs (>=sys-kernel/genkernel-3.4.25.1). Id doesn't understand UUID=/LABEL= in /etc/fstab.


I agree with Marc. A block with the same code

case "${BLABLABLA}" in
  UUID\=*|LABEL\=*)
...
...

is duplicated three or more times in linuxrc and init.scripts. Instead, there should be a reusable function like in a second attached patch.

Another patch to fix this issue.

Any progress on this?

I didn’t check the bugzilla before I went on fixing the issue so I produced yet another patch for this.  Anyway that means we have three different patches and it would be cool if one of them made to the official repo.

It would be cool to integrate genkernel with dracut. See bug 330127 :)

Looks like it is not there yet, so in the meantime can we get this feature in genkernel?=)
