Description of problem: A system with multiple encrypted devices can end up with multiple passphrase prompts during bootup. It can be very frustrating when you don't know which device's passphrase you're being prompted for. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.60-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up multiple encrypted devices 2. populate /etc/crypttab appropriately 3. boot Actual results: You are presented with "Enter LUKS passphrase:" prompt for each device in crypttab, but it is not clear which device is being opened. This will be particularly troublesome on the first boot after installation when users have no idea what the ordering of entries in crypttab is. Expected results: Some indicator of which device is being opened so the user can know which passphrase to enter. Additional info: This would be maddening enough with passwords, but with potentially lengthy passphrases this can be a real pain.
Created attachment 271631 [details] Minimal effort approach to making clear which device's passphrase we are asking for This is sort of a minimalist approach for illustrative purposes. Still, better than nothing.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Works for me, F9 stock install asks: Enter LUKS passphrase for /dev/sda2: on my laptop.
