[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] cryptsetup: option for /etc/crypttab

[U Kuehn]

Hi Jonas,

In the recent cryptsetup version 1.0.6pre1 there the option "noearly"
has been added for /etc/crypttab.

The attached patch adds a further option "noauto". It behaves like its
counterpart in /etc/fstab, meaning that the mapping is neither done in
/etc/init.d/cryptdisks-early, nor in /etc/init.d/cryptdisks. That way
the supplied script /usr/sbin/cryptdisks_start can be used to map it
later, possibly by a user, e.g. using sudo.

What's your opinion on this option?

BTW, is it planned to add a counterpart to cryptdisks_start that takes
down the mapping? I would volunteer to set it up, if nobody else will do it.

Cheers,
Ulrich
