Reinhard-
As discussed in IRC, I do believe that utilizing the failure hooks in
the initramfs would be the best approach.
In the initramfs-tools sources, see:
* scripts/functions, add_mountroot_fail_hook(), and try_failure_hooks(), and
the inline comment just above try_failure_hooks().
For an example of how to create/use a failure hook, pull the mdadm sources and
see:
* debian/initramfs/init-premount
Note that the failure hook will exit "0" if it thinks that it did
something to positively affect the situation, and "1" otherwise.
Finally, the bit that brings this all together is back in the initramfs-tools
sources, in scripts/local, see:
* if root_missing "${ROOT}" && ! try_failure_hooks; then ....
Hopefully that helps get this a little further along? Reinhard- ping me
again on IRC if you need some more help ;-)
