At first I got the UUID for the RAID device, /dev/md0: root@hawk:~# mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Thu Nov 12 12:06:28 2020 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 3906884416 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) Used Dev Size : 3906884416 (3725.90 GiB 4000.65 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Intent Bitmap : Internal Update Time : Sat Nov 14 11:52:39 2020 State : clean Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Consistency Policy : bitmap Name : hawk:0 (local to host hawk) UUID : 0d3ec9c1:2bc5b3e8:24a27283:c0cad01b Events : 12270 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 33 0 active sync /dev/sdc1 1 8 49 1 active sync /dev/sdd1 root@hawk:~# and set that up as a line in /etc/crypttab: encryptedRaid UUID=0d3ec9c1-2bc5-b3e8-24a2-7283c0cad01b none luks Didn't work, and gave a 90 second timeout. Note that the UUID in crypttab is re-formatted to agree with the other UUIDs in that file, dashes rather than colons. Is that relevant? Or (afterthought here) did I give it the wrong UUID? root@hawk:~# ll /dev/disk/by-uuid/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 300 Nov 14 11:52 ./ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 160 Nov 14 11:51 ../ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Nov 14 11:52 343ed59e-ae41-4733-8277-f1b77de67479 -> ../../sda5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Nov 14 11:52 52be92ca-795f-46ef-9c52-074fceedc53c -> ../../dm-1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov 14 11:52 57de8169-da6c-4952-b6ac-25e6c87dbf1a -> ../../md0 ... root@hawk:~# Anyway, I tried it by device name, and that worked. encryptedRaid /dev/md0 none luks Useful tip: that worked without a prompt because I gave /dev/md0's encryption the same passphrase I gave the other encrypted partitions.
