Bug#802897: race condition in systemd boot with cryptsetup password prompt

[Aryeh Leib Taurog]

I believe my system is affected by this issue.  I have tried the 
workaround posted by Jayson Willson.  It seems to help sometimes, but 
I believe there is still a race condition.  Most often, the system 
waits for me to enter a passphrase.  I have seen it wait for several 
minutes without problem.  However, sometimes it drops into emergency 
mode within seconds of prompting for the luks passphrase.

Also, perhaps related, the earlier system prompted a second time if 
the passphrase entered was incorrect.  With systemd it seems there is 
no second chance, only a broken emergency mode and necessary reboot.
