[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#506643: cryptsetup_start doesn't work with CRYPTDISKS_ENABLE=No

[Pietro Abate]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.6-6
Severity: minor


The option CRYPTDISKS_ENABLE in /etc/defaults is honored by
cryptsetup_start/stop . Since this variable should only be used to
decide to start/stop the service at startup, the check should be moved
from /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions to the /etc/init.d/crytodisk.
This way the cryptsetup_start/stop scripts would still function even
if the crypto disk wasn't initialized at boot time. This makes sense if
you want to use these scripts to initialize a crypto partition at a
later stage, for example, manually after logging in.
