Description Petr Šplíchal 2008-03-27 14:37:02 UTC 
Description of problem:

When calling "cryptsetup status" for nonexistent device, it returns 0.
Calling "cryptsetup status" for existing device works fine, displays details
about the device but returns 1.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cryptsetup-luks-1.0.3-2.2.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
cryptsetup status existing-device
cryptsetup status nonexistent-device
  
Actual results:
# cryptsetup status crypted
/dev/mapper/crypted is active:
  cipher:  aes-cbc-plain
  keysize: 256 bits
  device:  /dev/loop7
  offset:  0 sectors
  size:    14336 sectors
  mode:    read/write
# echo $?
1

# cryptsetup status nonexistent
/dev/mapper/nonexistent is inactive.
# echo $?
0

Expected results:
should return 0 when everything's ok
and non-zero if there's been some problem (e.g. missing device)

  device:  /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
  offset:  1032 sectors
  size:    18086904 sectors
