Title:
  Encrypted partition passphrase echoed in terminal

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am not sure if this bug belongs in cryptsetup. Otherwise please move
  it.

  I have two encrypted partitions. If I boot up without a splash screen,
  the following happens:

  The first one, my swap partition, prompts for a passphrase during
  bootup ("Enter password for sdaX_crypt:"). I type it in. Characters
  appears as *****. Great!

  Second partition, I'm asked for a password, too, because the partition
  is listed in fstab. It's an ext4 partition. But this time my password
  is echoed on screen. That's not cool! When I type <enter>, the
  passphrase appears with ***** on a second line.

  I do not know if this bug is caused by my partition being ext4 or
  because the second mount of a crypt_fs fails.

  Please inform me if you need further debugging output.
