Hi,

when trying to start a device with a crypttab entry using
cryptdisks_start directly, as in

$ cryptdisks_start media500
Starting crypto disk...done.

does not give an error message when the device is not present (in my
case, because I did not run vgchange -a y vg-500 yet).

While it is ok to ignore the entry during boot (it has the noauto flag),
it really should tell me about problems when I specifiy it explicitly.

Thanks,
Joachim
