[Bug 1092853] [NEW] mountall fails to handle "noearly" crypt disk correctly and displays error

[Matthias Kretz]

Public bug reported:

I have the following setup:
/boot unencrypted
/ and swap in LVM over encryption with luks
/data encrypted with key stored on / (no LVM, filesystem is directly created on /dev/mapper/data

/etc/crypttab contains this line:
data /dev/sdb /sdb.key size=...,cipher=...,hash=...,noearly

The noearly is necessary because the key /sdb.key is in an LVM
partition.

Now, on boot I always get the message
"Serious errors were found while checking the disk drive for /data" Ignore, Skip or Manual recovery

I always press "I" because everything works just fine. I don't know yet what causes mountall to think that there's a problem, but a manual fsck on /dev/mapper/data shows that there is no problem. So I assume it has something to do with the block device appearing rather late in the bootup?
/etc/fstab looks like this:
UUID=9d44a5d2-9b21-40f4-9799-6f51d221810b /data            ext4  defaults          0       2
