Description Karsten Hopp 2007-06-01 15:40:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
rc.sysinit can't handle UUIDs in /etc/crypttab
This patch converts UUIDs to real devicenames with /sbin/blkid

Other minor changes are 
- silence cryptsetup
- check permissions of key file only if it isn't one of the /dev/*random files

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-8.53-1

Patch? :)
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2007-06-01 18:55:52 UTC 
Also, if you've got a script that converts crypttab to use UUID, this would make
a very useful addition to the release notes, as PATA->SATA upgrades break
crypttab pretty hard.

Comment 4 Charles R. Anderson 2007-06-05 21:43:10 UTC 
Is there a problem with using /dev/disk/by-uuid/* in /etc/crypttab instead?
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2007-06-05 21:51:34 UTC 
Well, I suppose someone wanting to speed boot might remove all the /dev/disk
symlink stuff from the udev rules; but as long as we're shipping them, they
should work.
