A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
This is needed for tcrypt and the benchmark subcommand. If enabled,
it is also used to unlock LUKS2 volumes and therefore the kernel modules
providing this feature need to be available in our initrd.
Fixes#42163. #54019.
The new reuse behaviour is cool and really useful but it breaks one of
my use cases. When using kexec, I have a script which will unlock the
disks in my initrd. However, do_open_passphrase will fail if the disk is
already unlocked.
From reading the source I'm pretty sure it doesn't support multiple Yubikeys, hence
those options are useless.
Also, I'm pretty sure nobody actually uses this feature, because enabling it causes
extra utils' checks to fail (even before applying any patches of this branch).
As I don't have the hardware to test this, I'm too lazy to fix the utils, but
I did test that with extra utils checks commented out and Yubikey
enabled the resulting script still passes the syntax check.
Also reuse common cryptsetup invocation subexpressions.
- Passphrase reading is done via the shell now, not by cryptsetup.
This way the same passphrase can be reused between cryptsetup
invocations, which this module now tries to do by default (can be
disabled).
- Number of retries is now infinity, it makes no sense to make users
reboot when they fail to type in their passphrase.
This option, if set to true, enables fallbacking to an interactive
passphrase prompt when the specified keyFile is not found.
The default is false, which is compatible with previous behavior and
doesn't prevent unattended boot.
Boot fails when a keyfile is configured for all encrypted filesystems
and no other luks devices are configured. This is because luks support is only
enabled in the initrd, when boot.initrd.luks.devices has entries. When a
fileystem has a keyfile configured though, it is setup by a custom
command, not by boot.initrd.luks.
This commit adds an internal config flag to enable luks support in the
initrd file, even if there are no luks devices configured.
The LUKS header can be on another device (e.g. a USB stick). In my case
it can take up to two seconds until the partition on my USB stick is
available (i.e. the decryption fails without this patch). This will also
remove some redundancy by providing the shell function `wait_target` and
slightly improve the output (one "." per second and a success/failure
indication after 10 seconds instead of always printing "ok").
This reverts commit c69c76ca7e.
This patch was messed up during a rebase -- the commit title doesn't match what
it really does at all (it is actually a broken attempt to get LUKS passphrase
prompts in Plymouth).
This allows setting options for the same LUKS device in different
modules. For example, the auto-generated hardware-configuration.nix
can contain
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.device = "/dev/disk/...";
while configuration.nix can add
boot.initrd.luks.devices.crypted.allowDiscards = true;
Also updated the examples/docs to use /disk/disk/by-uuid instead of
/dev/sda, since we shouldn't promote the use of the latter.
- add missing types in module definitions
- add missing 'defaultText' in module definitions
- wrap example with 'literalExample' where necessary in module definitions
