[Bug 1037703] Re: Not possible to mount cryptsetup luks partitions at boot

[luislupe]

The crypttab I presented before was just one of many attempts I tried.

I've just tried with the four fields per line, like this:

# cat /etc/crypttab | grep -v '^#' | grep -v '^$'
encriptado		/dev/sda6   none      tries=4
cryptswap		/dev/sda5  		/dev/urandom   		swap

The result is the same.
I guess this is not a problem of incorrect configuration made by me, as I had this working in 10.04 and also in another distro.

Title:
  Not possible to mount cryptsetup luks partitions at boot

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I installed a fresh 12.04, after wiping 10.04 and encrypted a partition via cryptsetup luks...
  I followed the same procedure as in 10.04 and it was working fine there.

  After the boot process, I can manually open the encrypted partition as well as swapon on the swap partition.
  The problem is that this doesn't work during the boot process as it should. 
  Ive been searching and this seems to be an 'old' problem now.

  Here's my data:

  Release:	12.04

  # cat /etc/crypttab | grep -v '^#' | grep -v '^$'
  encriptado		/dev/sda6
  cryptswap		/dev/sda5  		/dev/urandom   		swap

  Although the process doesn't get to this point, there's my relevant lines of fstab
  # grep -e 'cryptswap' -e 'encriptado' /etc/fstab
  /dev/mapper/cryptswap swap swap defaults 0 0
  /dev/mapper/encriptado /encriptado ext4 defaults 0 0

  When I boot, I get these messages:
  """
  The disk drive for /dev/mapper/encriptado is not ready yet or not present 
  Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery

  The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap is not ready yet or not present
  Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
  """

  If I wait, nothing happens.
  If I press S (twice), none of the partitions are mapped:
  # ls -l /dev/mapper/
  total 0
  crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 Ago 16 18:50 control

  Thanks for any help, as this computer will not be used by me but by a
  non savvy person in this area.
