[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#981405: Does it make sense to use the same file?

[Russell Coker]

Cryptsetup and systemd use different format options for /etc/crypttab.  If you 
add systemd specific options then cryptsetup gives error messages which 
surprise users.  Casual web searches on the topic don't make it obvious that 
there are 2 different programs doing quite different things with the same 
config file.

If systemd used /etc/systemd/blockcrypt.conf or something similar there 
wouldn't be any confusion in this regard and web searches would get more 
useful results.

I think this is an upstream bug for misusing an existing config file.
