[Bug 345867] Re: cryptsetup doesn't wait long enough for usb drive to appear on Ubuntu 8.04

[Peter Schlaile]

... pffft, if you handle all bug reports after two years, well ...

Then - maybe - the attached patches are a little bit out of date, aren't
they?

If you want to check, take a look, and see if the current cryptroot script tries to find the device multiple times
using a loop (the patch has only 3 lines of code, should be pretty obvious, what it does, right?)

If current Ubuntu doesn't have that problem, you might still want to apply this patch to 8.04 - might still help
some people out there... or well ... maybe it doesn't since it is over two years old...

Title:
  cryptsetup doesn't wait long enough for usb drive to appear on Ubuntu
  8.04

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  Installing Ubuntu 8.04 on an encrypted USB drive as the root device
  (default installer choice: encrypted LVM, default options) fails,
  since cryptsetup doesn't seem to wait long enough for the usb drive to
  appear (and therefore we are never asked for the password and dropped
  into a busybox).

  Patch is attached, that fixes the problem.
