Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.7.3-4
Severity: normal


In the example below, “root” is in parentheses because I do not really know if this mechanism works for any encrypted filesystem which is not an encrypted root filesystem (it does not work from my tests, but maybe there are differences to take into account).

Example of a sentence which could be added just before the description of the field “options”: An encrypted (root) filesystem containing its key file can be unlocked by the initramfs image if the value of the variable “KEYFILE_PATTERN”, in the file “/etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook”, matches the key file path during the generation of the initramfs image.
