Will a livecd use /etc/crypttab if the file exists?
Yes
Creating a 8gb liveusb with --home-size-mb 2048 --overlay-size-mb
2048,
works fine. However I would like
to increase the number of passwords attempts allowed.
I seem to be having no luck increasing the default password retry from 3
on the encrypted home directory.
Formating using -T x or adding retry=x seem to leave the default at 3.
The default with an encrypted /home is that we use plymouth to prompt
which is also the behavior now in the real system. And I don't think
that plymouth has any way to request retrying more than 3 times
