I'm working on a full disk encryption setup. While this is generally documented not very good, I found a bug regarding keyfiles. My luks setup is a key file on an USB stick. Because I couldn't get GPG encrypted keys working I tried unencrypted keys. This lead to the following error message: sh: .gpg: unknown operand I THINK this is because of the following statement in the init script: f [ $(echo ${LUKS_KEY} | grep -o '.gpg$') = ".gpg" ] && [ -e /sbin/gpg ] ; then When the left part of the statement is executed, it is empty because grep -o .gpg does not match. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create luks encrypted root partition using keyfiles 2. use genkernel to create the initramfs image 3. use crypt_root, root_key and root_key_dev Actual Results: Boot process fails with sh: .gpg: unknown operand Expected Results: Booting succeeds
This issue should be fixed in 3.4.19 and later. The relevant commit is http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/genkernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=3453a0621c20576f9b3249215187f34ed55014f0 Please test with genkernel 3.4.20 and report back.
confirmed, works with 3.4.20
okay, thanks.
