Description Fabrice Bellet 2013-03-26 22:37:04 UTC
Hi!

I follow the bug report related to the timeout expiration bug in systemd in F-18 (bug #868421), and I noticed that the addition of the initrd.target for F-19 introduces new timeout expiration problems, that come in addition to the one from the systemd bug report. More precisely, I see two new places where a timeout is triggered:

  - in /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99base/dracut-lib.sh:844, the required device units dev-mapper-vg_xxx\x2dlv_yyy_root.device created in the initramfs here have the default 90 seconds timeout, but these devices will appear only after the cryptsetup device is opened, so potentially after a longer delay.

  - another timeout problem is caused by dracut-initqueue.service, which may wait for the same devices in /usr/lib/dracut/hooks/initqueue/finished/devexist-*.sh, and finally abort ("Could not boot" emergency_shell), when the rd_retry default value is reached. 

The problem is that the lack of timeout in these two cases should be conditioned by the fact that the underlying device is a cryptsetup one.
