Dear All, It is my understanding that both systemd per se from v227 and plymouth will cache passwords[1]. However, there is no caching of LUKS passwords in my setting, a laptop with two encrypted partitions, corresponding to root and swap, and where both share the passphrase.
I am using systemd 230-2 and plymouth 0.9.2-3+b1 and running kernel linux-image-4.6.0-1-amd64 (kernel 4.5 behaves the same way). Trying with or without plymouth makes no difference (i.e., I am always asked for both passwords). I wonder if there is something I need to set/unset, or if I need to create some (which?) script in /etc/systemd/system. My /etc/crypttab is crypt-sda5 UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx none luks crypt-sda2 UUID=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy none luks And my /etc/fstab is proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 UUID=zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/mapper/crypt-sda5 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 0 1 /dev/mapper/crypt-sda2 none swap sw 0 0 Best, [1] Changes in v227: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-October/034509.html, or for instance the step-by-step instructions on setting full disk encryption at htps://thesimplecomputer.info/full-disk-encryption-with-ubuntu -- Ramon Diaz-Uriarte Department of Biochemistry, Lab B-25 Facultad de Medicina Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Arzobispo Morcillo, 4 28029 Madrid Spain Phone: +34-91-497-2412 Email: rdia...@gmail.com ramon.d...@iib.uam.es http://ligarto.org/rdiaz
