[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#364203: cryptsetup: CRYPTDISKS_TIMEOUT is ignored

[Andres Salomon]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 1.0.2+1.0.3-rc3-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

In /etc/default/cryptdisks, CRYPTDISKS_TIMEOUT's value is ignored.  It
should be passed to cryptsetup as --timeout, but it's not.  Instead, you
must set timeout=X in /etc/crypttab:

lith /dev/lith/lvol0    none    timeout=20

This actually makes cryptsetup --timeout=20 be called.

Looking at the code in /lib/cryptsetup/init_functions, it looks like
CRYPTDISKS_TIMEOUT's value is ignored unless the 'timeout' option is
set; it would be good if this was documented in /etc/default/cryptdisks
or something.
