Yes, if it was just the home directory, that would be a possibility. But I also encrypt a partition that daemons (e.g., Apache) need, so it's not really practical to postpone it all to login time.
With respect, it seems to me that even if cryptdisk is in Universe, this is a pretty substantial regression. If upstart really can't be tuned to support this, I'd be hard pressed to support upstart (not that anyone's really going to make any decisions based on what I would support, of course). -- Upstart doesn't activate luks volumes in cryptsetup https://launchpad.net/bugs/62751 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
