Changelog

cloud-initramfs-tools (0.2ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * invoke blkid to search for the rescue volume rather than relying on
    /dev/disk/by-label/LABEL .  The by-label entries would sometimes
    not exist while the device would.
  * improve failed boot message
  * update debian/README.source to point at upstream location

  [Neil Wilson]
  * fix race condition that resulted in intermittent mount failures
    after 'growroot'. (LP: #765843)

cloud-initramfs-rescuevol: boot off a rescue volume rather than root filesystem

 This package adds functionality to an initramfs built by initramfs-tools.
 When installed the initramfs will check to see if any partitions
 with a label of 'RESCUE_VOL' are attached. If such a volume is attached,
 it will boot off that volume rather than the root volume.
 .
 This is useful in a cloud environment, when the user is able to attach
 and detach volumes to a running system, but has no other mechanism
 for interupting of fixing a failed boot. It is analogous to inserting
 a rescue CD into a system to recover from failure.
