[Bug 468885] Re: Karmic boot doesn't wait for encrypted disc passphrase

[Pac Shady]

I think I have the same issue. I have two random key encrypted drives,
/tmp and swap, but the problem (so far) only seems to happen with /tmp.
The problem seems to be intermittent, but still happens on maybe 50% or
more of boots. I can't get a boot log because upstart doesn't appear to
use them. I've tried to get around the problem by forcibly mounting /tmp
in the init script for GDM with a sleep interval of 5 seconds (as well
as changing ownerships on the directory which, due to the drive being
wiped on every boot aren't being saved), which so far seems to have
stopped the gconf-sanity-check-2 error 256 happening and lets GDM work
fine, but every couple of boots I get thrown back to a recovery console
because /tmp failed to mount. After checking the boot messages without
splash it seems it's trying to mount before the encryption is fully
active.

cat /etc/crypttab 
sda4_crypt /dev/disk/by-uuid/d8ae7e62-57ba-4742-8121-179394693901 none luks
sda5_crypt /dev/sda5 /dev/urandom cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,size=128,swap
sda6_crypt /dev/sda6 /dev/urandom cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,size=128,tmp
