0001-Generate-proper-syntax-for-btrfs-RAID1-on-luks.patch

Description of problem:
When creating a grub configuration with /boot on raid1 btrfs luks partitions it contains syntax errors.

The system has two disks, each with the same GPT
 Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
    1            2048            4095   1024.0 KiB  EF02  Grub2 data
    2            4096         8388574   4.0 GiB     8300  Linux

Both vda2 and vdb2 are encrypted with luks and have entries in /etc/crypttab
 luks-d82cd76c-abe0-47e7-9dd1-8164f710370b UUID=d82cd76c-abe0-47e7-9dd1-8164f710370b
 luks-9b147ec3-1fd2-4bd1-877d-8490d00bcb43 UUID=9b147ec3-1fd2-4bd1-877d-8490d00bcb43

grub2-install worked fine and /boot/grub2/i386-pc/load.cfg is correct
 cryptomount -u 9b147ec31fd24bd1877d8490d00bcb43
 cryptomount -u d82cd76cabe047e79dd18164f710370b

/etc/default/grub have the line
 GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y

Beside the minor annoyance that the list of insmod contain many duplicates, there are two syntax errors.

Each kernel entry contains the following four lines
        cryptomount -u 9b147ec31fd24bd1877d8490d00bcb43
        d82cd76cabe047e79dd18164f710370b
        set root='cryptouuid/9b147ec31fd24bd1877d8490d00bcb43
        cryptouuid/d82cd76cabe047e79dd18164f710370b'

This is obvious broken syntax. I've attached a patch for these problems. With the patch, the four lines are now.
        cryptomount -u 9b147ec31fd24bd1877d8490d00bcb43
        cryptomount -u d82cd76cabe047e79dd18164f710370b
        set root='cryptouuid/9b147ec31fd24bd1877d8490d00bcb43'
        set root='cryptouuid/d82cd76cabe047e79dd18164f710370b'

How reproducible:

Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:39:46 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Chris Murphy 2015-03-13 20:12:49 UTC
This should work one day but there are two problems at the moment. 

One is /boot on Btrfs isn't working due to bug 1200539 (anaconda runs grub2-mkconfig before initramfs appears) and bug 864198 (grubby doesn't fix bug 1200539 when /boot is on Btrfs).

Two is Anaconda/Fedora don't support encrypted /boot.

So I'm curious first off whether upstream GRUB2 works, and if not then the bug probably needs to be filed with them, and get it fixed upstream.

Comment 3 Jonas Jonsson 2015-03-17 09:29:27 UTC
From what I can tell, this problem exists in the Grub git repository as well.

Want me to file a bug upstream?

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 12:35:16 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
