[Bug 260462] Re: cryptdisks-early fails to re-prompt if passphrase is incorrect

[Tony Green]

Finally had time to set up a crypto disc on a clean Intrepid install and
I can confirm that this problem persists.

I'm prompted for the filesystem's passphrase but if I type it
incorrectly, I don't get re-prompted, the boot just continues and then
quickly fails because, not surprisingly, it can't check the encrypted
partition.

/etc/crypttab has a line:
home    /dev/sda11 none checkargs=ext2,tries=5

which according to the man page, SHOULD mean I get five attempts at the
passphrase.

I tried putting "set -x" in /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions just
before the password prompt to see if anything useful appeared, but
unfortunately STDERR seems to be redirected elsewhere so I couldn't see
anything.
