[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#589029: cryptsetup: crypttab: please add noloud or quiet or something like that

[Mario 'BitKoenig' Holbe]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.1.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

especially since 2:1.1.3-1 changed its behaviour to "cryptdisks
initscript now raises a warning for failed started devices" it would be
great to have a way to tell the initscripts something like: "if the
source device exists, create the crypto mapping, if not, don't care and
don't complain about it", i.e. the inverse of the "loud" crypttab
option - something like "quiet", "nowarn", "noloud" or whatever you
like. This is somewhat different from "noauto", where the mapping is
just never created automagically.

Btw.: If I read /lib/cryptsetup/cryptdisks.functions correctly, enabling
the "loud" option for one device in the current implementation enables
it for subsequent devices as well (I didn't try it, it just looks like
this).
A correct solution would probably be something like LOUD="$DEFAULT_LOUD"
in parse_opts() and using DEFAULT_LOUD="" in cryptdisks-early and
DEFAULT_LOUD="yes" in cryptdisks.


Thanks for your work & best regards
   Mario
