[Bug 509957] Re: cryptdisk sets up partitions by index/device instead of uuid

[Robie Basak]

I wanted PARTUUID support for crypttab and found this bug.

I think there are two separate bugs here. 1) A wishlist bug to support
PARTUUID in /etc/crypttab, for which a patch is available. It looks like
this could be sent to Debian (currently it looks like Debian doesn't
have PARTUUID support either) and incorporated in Ubuntu pretty easily.
2) Support for using these in partman-crypto. I've not looked into this
end.

Title:
  cryptdisk sets up partitions by index/device instead of uuid

Status in partman-crypto package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  It's obvious cryptsetup should map partitions by UUID instead of dev
  entries (e.g. /dev/sda5) -- and it's obvious I don't know how
  difficult it is ;-) --, even more while cryptdisks service doesn't do
  enough validation on the partition used
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/509952).
