Public bug reported: Binary package hint: cryptsetup
Today I configured encrypted backup on an external hard drive, mostly based on http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=EncryptedDeviceUsingLUKS For convenience of testing I first set it up on a laptop running Debian sid/Lenny. Part of the config includes a udev rule which I placed in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-nick.rules: KERNEL=="sd?1", ATTRS{serial}=="DEF10BBE1D0D", NAME="$kernel", \ SYMLINK+="bakker", RUN+="/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d cryptdisks restart cryptbak" This worked fine. On plugging the hard drive cable into a USB port on the laptop, udev creates the symlink, calls cryptdisks to create the mapping (via an entry in /etc/crypttab), and a user can then mount the drive. The same configuration on a PC running Ubuntu 7.10 did not work. When run from udev (and only then) the cryptdisks call failed with exec: 34: env: not found I found that I could make it work by removing some lines from /lib/cryptdisks/cryptdisks.functions. These are lines 30-34: # Always output to console stdin=`readlink /proc/self/fd/0` if [ "${stdin#/dev/null}" != "$stdin" ] && [ "$ON_VT" != "yes" ]; then exec env ON_VT=yes /usr/bin/openvt -f -c `fgconsole` -w $0 "$@" fi The lines are not present in the current Debian sid package, Version 2:1.0.5-1. Whether this is the best or correct way I have no idea, but the encrypted backup now works on 7.10. About the PC, $ uname -a Linux carbon 2.6.22-14-server #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 05:52:24 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
