util-linux v2.33 breaks mounting partitions(?)

The util-linux Alpine Linux package was updated from v2.32 to v2.33 which has broken things.

Scenario 1:

  • Update a working pmOS install from util-linux 2.32 -> 2.33. After rebooting the device the rootfs is mounted as read only. It only boots to a tty login prompt. SSH still works.

Scenario 2:

  • Flash a rootfs with util-linux 2.33 installed. It will only boot to tty login prompt. SSH doesn't work I assume this is because the rootfs is read only so things aren't able to initialize right.

I haven't been able to investigate much farther yet.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
