Description Michal Schmidt 2009-11-28 09:15:45 UTC

Description of problem:
During boot I am getting an error message like this:
[: 44: luks-...: unexpected operator
The message is from dash which does not know the '==' operator (it's a bashism). POSIX specifies '=' for string comparison.

A simple testcase:
dash -c '[ foo == foo ] && echo equal'
[: 1: foo: unexpected operator

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-003-1.fc12.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from an encrypted root fs and use the rd_LUKS_UUID parameter
2. Press Esc when plymouth starts, so that you can see the messages. (Or just don't use "rhgb".)

Actual results:
The system boots fine, but the error message can be seen.

Expected results:
The system should boot without error messages.

Additional info:
These two files use the non-POSIX '==' operator:
modules.d/50plymouth/cryptroot-ask.sh
modules.d/90crypt/cryptroot-ask.sh
