 Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2011 5:47 pm Post subject: cryptsetup + initramfs + lvm2: i dont have /dev/myvg/mylv |
 |
|
hello,
i installed gentoo from: install-amd64-minimal-20111020.iso.
i use cryptsetup and lvm2.
i boot with bootmedia to encrypt the harddisk.
the system boot from media, encrypt the disk, scan for volume groups an activate it, mount the lv´s from the disk
an come up.
but in the bootet system (on harddisk) i dont have /dev/myvg/rootfs, /dev/myvg/homefs, /dev/myvg/usrfs, /dev/myvg/varfs, /dev/myvg/optfs
if i check with vgdisplay and lvdisplay it looks fine.
but lvdisplay give error on eatch lv: /dev/myvg/lvname open failed: no such file or dir
what i did forgot to do that the /dev/myvg/lvnames are created at boottime (after switch/chroot to harddisk)?
thanks |

I also use cryptsetup, a non-encrypted partition for /boot, the remaining partition encrypted with LVM inside.
I ended up writing my own initramfs and heavily customising an init script I found, to get the job done.
You will notice the LVM scan, about 3/4 the way down the init script.
To use this, you will need the following to be installed
init script
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
################################################################################
# This script is meant to be run as the "init" script of an initramfs, which
# should be a writable filesystem (tmpfs or ramfs, tmpfs preferred).
#

#

# mounted or symlinks aren't made yet

README
| Code: | Critical that init contains #!/bin/sh as the first line, or it won't run.
Problems during boot (you are in the rescue shell(s))
=====================================================
The following 2 files must exist.
/lvmdev - this should contain the partition in which LVM is configured
eg. /dev/sda2
/rootdev - this should contain the volume group on which the root filesystem is.
eg. /dev/vg/root
2 convenience functions will be available as /bin/lvmdev and /bin/rootdev, which take
a single parameter and populate the corresponding file with that value. You could simply
do an "echo /dev/vg/root > /lvmdev" if you wanted to.
To chroot into this initramfs to test
=====================================
****************************************
DO NOT RUN "busybox --install -s" unless you are IN A CHROOT PRISON.
YOU WILL DESTROY YOUR SYSTEM.
****************************************
mount -t proc none /tmp/initramfs/proc
mount -o bind /dev /tmp/initramfs/dev
chroot /tmp/initramfs /bin/sh
Don't forget to umount them after exiting the chroot prison
umount /tmp/initramfs/proc
umount /tmp/initramfs/dev
The script expects two kernel parameters in the grub.conf entry.
lvm=/dev/partition root=/dev/vg/partition
LVM Parameters
==============
lvm=/dev/sda3
The partition in which LVM is configured.
In this example, /dev/sda3 is configured as an Encrypted partition, using
# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 vault
which will prompt for a password.
This will decrypt the partition such that LVM can find it using
# vgchange -ay vg
Kernel Parameters
=================
root=/dev/vg/root
The parition which contains the root filesystem.
In this case, it's a LVM filesystem, which is living on an encrypted parition.
Disabling Resume (in case of broken resume functionality)
=========================================================
noresume
This prevents the use of the 'resume' capability.
Refresh the files in this archive if the following packages have updates
* sys-fs/cryptsetup
* sys-fs/lvm2
* sys-apps/busybox
Use the script "UpdateFilesInArchive.sh"
This will copy files into the initramfs directory and recreate the initramfs.
Re-creating the initramfs without updating file versions.
=========================================================
# cd /boot/initramfs
# find . | cpio --quiet -o -H newc | gzip -9 > /boot/initramfs_gentoo_crypt_cpio.gz
|
Build/update the initramfs script
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
if [ "${PWD}" != "/boot/initramfs" ]
then
echo "No way will I run this outside of /boot/initramfs."
exit 1
fi
cp /bin/busybox /sbin/cryptsetup /sbin/mdadm /usr/lib64/suspend/resume /boot/initramfs/bin || exit 1
cp /sbin/lvm.static /boot/initramfs/bin/lvm || exit 1
cp /etc/suspend.conf /boot/initramfs/etc/suspend.conf || exit 1
echo "/boot/initramfs updated with files from home system."
cd /boot/initramfs || exit 1
find . | cpio --quiet -o -H newc | gzip -9 > /boot/initramfs_gentoo_crypt_cpio.gz || exit 1
echo "/boot/initramfs_gentoo_crypt_cpio.gz has been updated."

yikes. that init is huge
I have a tiny one with things hard-coded
| Code: |
#!/bin/busybox sh
rescue_shell() {
echo "Something went wrong. Dropping you to a shell."
busybox --install -s
exec /bin/sh
}
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
mount -t devtmpfs none /dev
cryptsetup -T 5 luksOpen /dev/sda2 root
#you could put your LVM stuff here, before the mounting of root
mount -o ro /dev/mapper/root /mnt/root || rescue_shell
umount /proc
umount /sys
umount /dev
exec switch_root /mnt/root /sbin/init

It is huge, but it supports LVM, including root on LVM, suspend/resume and allows for screwups in kernel parameters (which got used during development).
It also has error checking
