[Bug 345867] Re: cryptsetup doesn't wait long enough for usb drive to appear on Ubuntu 8.04

[Steve Langasek]

Yes, it's obvious what it does, but it's not at all clear that it's
still needed.  We already have a 180 second delay by default polling for
the device in the current local-top/cryptroot script; this patch should
be redundant now, and if it isn't, we probably need to do something
better than just extending the delay.

Title:
  cryptsetup doesn't wait long enough for usb drive to appear on Ubuntu
  8.04

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  Installing Ubuntu 8.04 on an encrypted USB drive as the root device
  (default installer choice: encrypted LVM, default options) fails,
  since cryptsetup doesn't seem to wait long enough for the usb drive to
  appear (and therefore we are never asked for the password and dropped
  into a busybox).

  Patch is attached, that fixes the problem.
