Yes I am using luks,
I encriptyed the partition
When the machine in booted without trying to mount the encrypted
partition,
I just make a luksOpen, and then I can mount it.
During the install, I did not require any encryption.
I set the /etc/crypttab
home-crypt UUID=5fcf268d-4729-4c70-949d-36e979241422 none
I do not get any complain from this.
but with:
/dev/mapper/home-crypt /mnt/tmp ext4
defaults,noatime 1 2
in /etc/fstab, I cannot boot.
I got the UUID from:
blkid /dev/mapper/home-crypt
