[Bug 153597] Re: cryptsetup doesn't understand UUID= in crypttab

[Sameera Shaakunthala]

Was this issue really fixed (status is 'Fix Released')?
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm still having the problem.

Note on Importance: I use Ubuntu on a portable USB hard drive which I
can connect to any computer and boot. These computers have different
disk configurations, and therefore I prefer to specify mounts by UUID
rather than device filename. (For example, in one computer boot disk
could be /dev/sdb and on another could be /dev/sdc). Therefore, I think
UUID is important.

Title:
  cryptsetup doesn't understand UUID= in crypttab

Status in “cryptsetup” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  Cryptsetup can't understand devices specified by UUID=... or LABEL=...
  (I'm not sure whether encrypted devices can actually have a label) in
  /etc/crypttab. The  attached patch should make that work. (Note that I
  couldn't test the LABEL= part, since I don't have an encrypted device
  with a label)

  I checked this on up-to-date gutsy with cryptsetup 2:1.0.5-2ubuntu2
