F-15 boot issues

1) Yesterday an unattended reboot to F-15 went past the passphrase prompt
for my LUKS /home partition and ended in gdm with /home not being mounted.

Normal behaviour would have been for me to type in the passphrase,
because that's how it is set up in /etc/crypttab for this install.

The issue is not reproducible, and I boot into F-15 at least twice a day.
What could I look at if I ran into it again?


2) Partitions mounted twice:

$ mount|sort|uniq -d
/dev/mapper/luks-15465009-86ee-4a3c-a291-5a105ca148c4 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel,barrier=1,data=ordered)
/dev/mapper/vg_faldor-Home on /home/misc15/mnt/sharedhome type ext3 (rw,relatime,seclabel,errors=continue,user_xattr,acl,barrier=0,data=ordered)


3) Occasionally, a booted F-15 shows a gdm screen where existing user
accounts are not displayed. Only 'Other' is available. I can use it to
log in, and using Cancel refreshes gdm to display the previously missing
users. Looks like there's a race condition somewhere.
