Marking this Invalid on cloud-initramfs-tools. It doesn't seem likely that there is much we can do there.
** Changed in: cloud-initramfs-tools Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636890 Title: invalid file times with overlayroot and encrypted home Status in cloud-initramfs-tools: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I did a basic install of 16.04.1 server amd64 (accepting most of the defaults) but selected to have the home area of the initial user encrypted. Then log on as that user and create some files. Next enable overlayroot by adding a /etc/overlayroot.local.conf with 'overlayroot=tmpfs' and reboot. After rebooting and logging in as the user, the previously created files are there but the timestamps are wrong. 'stat' gives the times as: Access: 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +01:00 Modify: 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +01:00 Change: 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +01:00 --- AlsaDevices: total 0 crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 1 Nov 14 15:46 seq crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 33 Nov 14 15:46 timer AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=05dc7e53-33c6-4784-9d1e-230db315c1f8 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-11-14 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) IwConfig: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory MachineType: Supermicro Super Server Package: linux (not installed) PciMultimedia: ProcFB: 0 astdrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-47-generic root=UUID=a933e18e-10d8-417d-8154-a0a16a691ae4 ro ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-47.68-generic 4.4.24 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.4.0-47-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.4.0-47-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.157.4 RfKill: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Tags: xenial Uname: Linux 4.4.0-47-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 12/17/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 2.0 dmi.board.asset.tag: Default string dmi.board.name: X10DRD-i dmi.board.vendor: Supermicro dmi.board.version: 1.00 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Default string dmi.chassis.type: 17 dmi.chassis.vendor: Supermicro dmi.chassis.version: 0123456789 dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr2.0:bd12/17/2015:svnSupermicro:pnSuperServer:pvr0123456789:rvnSupermicro:rnX10DRD-i:rvr1.00:cvnSupermicro:ct17:cvr0123456789: dmi.product.name: Super Server dmi.product.version: 0123456789 dmi.sys.vendor: Supermicro To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-initramfs-tools/+bug/1636890/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
