[Yaird-devel] Bug#355074: yaird: not a bug

[Jonathan Kleinehellefort]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-9
Followup-For: Bug #355074

I ran into the same problem and think this cannot be considered a bug.

/usr/lib/yaird/exec/run_init is really complaining about /dev/console
missing on the new cryptoroot, which is caused by this step:

    cp -ax / /mnt

Because a tmpfs is mounted over /dev by udev, this command will fail to
copy any device nodes under /dev. This can be resolved by mounting /
a second time and then copying the files over:

    mount /dev/path_to_old_root /oldroot
    cp -a /oldroot/* /mnt
