[Bug 367577] Re: mount.crypt needs to pass -s to cryptsetup

[jcfp]

Was hit by this one when updating from intrepid. Apparently went fine
until I discovered that in jaunty only one of my encrypted partitions
was being mounted, namely the one with a 256 bit keysize. None of the
others did, took me well into the night fearing all data on those disks
was lost before finding this bug report putting me on track to the
solution.

The patch doesn't appear to work for me though, it does cause a "-s"
parameter to be used but with the wrong bitsize (104 instead of 448).
Manually, everything works again when using the cryptsetup command when
setting the hash parameter to ripemd160 and using the -s options with
the correct keysize.

Overall, this is a severe regression, updating from a perfectly working
system without any useful warning users end up with apparently unusable
encrypted partitions; getting error messages like "mount: you must
specify the filesystem type" suggesting there is no recognisable data on
disk or some kind of severe filesystem corruption. This really needs to
be fixed!

** Changed in: libpam-mount (Ubuntu)
