dracut + encryption problem

Hi all,

I have a remote system with two hard drives - the "main" drive 
(programs, etc) and a second luks-encrypted data drive.

The encrypted drive is not supposed to be mounted automatically (it is 
not in crypttab, etc). I ssh into the box to mount it after booting.

Unfortunately, in F12, dracut detects this encrypted disk, and asks for 
a password at boot time. This is bad if no one is physically present at 
the console!

Is this the intended behaviour? Or a bug?

- Mike
