crypttab + passwords?
How do I get crypttab to automatically unlock a volume on boot? I was doing this in Slackware no problem, but the crypttab in Ubuntu isn't behaving the same way.....
Basically, I have a line in /etc/crypttab to decrypt the luks volume and a line in /etc/fstab to mount the volume.
in crypttab:
crypto UUID=1234...... password luks
in fstab:
UUID=98765..... /mnt/crypto ext3 relatime 0 2 # same options as the volumes Ubunut made on install
I can decrypt and mount the partition fine, so I know my password is good. I used 'sudo blkid' to determine the uuid and then copy/pasted them into the files, so I'm confident there isn't a typo like that. Also, I realize the uuid is not supposed to be the same in both files; the uuid in crypttab is the uuid of partition with the luks volume on it (sdc1), and the uuid in fstab belongs to the ext3 filesystem inside (/dev/mapper/
