[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#774647: cryptsetup on initramfs does not support key files (resume swap on LVM)

[Lukasz Stelmach]

Hi,

The main reason reported this problem is that I want to enter
a single password to decrypt all my partitions. In such case
there is a way to work the problem around:

a) set the same password for all the devices you want initrd to decrypt,
b) use keyctl to cache the password.

My /etc/crypttab now looks like this:

-----8<-----
sda2_crypt UUID=e499987ab017 root_key luks,keyscript=decrypt_keyctl
sdb2_crypt UUID=c3b74b86b567 root_key luks,keyscript=decrypt_keyctl
-----8<-----

The procedure is described in the README.keyctl file.
