Hi,

In

  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/185380

a user had problems due to attempting to use a comment at the end of the
line in /etc/crypttab. It would be great if you could support this.

The following patch by Reinhard Tartler is used in Ubuntu to allow
this. Please consider applying it.

Thanks,

James
