I needed a solution for a live-system-setup that has to boot from dm-crypt/luks-encrypted usb-devices (more about the live-system at http://mandalka.name/privatix/ ...), so i copied some code into a quick and dirty workarround-script which i use for my live-system-setups until after the discussion and development there will be a solution in the cryptsetup-package or/and initrd-package.
Maybe it can help some people getting here using a searchengine and reading this thread because they need a solution before this issue will be solved: Because cryptroot waits until all other scripts in initramfs/scripts/local-top/ are finished, this workarround needs no patches. It has to be copied into the ramdisk (copy http://mandalka.name/privatix/source/cryptrootwait to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/, make it executable (chmod +x cryptrootwait) and start update-initramfs or mkinitramfs to get it into the initramdisk). This workarround works in a "standard usb-cryptroot-setup" like my or for example configurations made by the debian-installer if you choose the guided encryption-setup there, but it won't help if your setup needs the activate_evms() or activate_vg() - functions in scripts/local-top/cryptroot ! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
