[PATCH] accept symlinks to blockdevices for mount.crypt

[hunger]

Hi!

I just noticed that you need to pass a blockdevice to /usr/bin/mount.crypt. This is annoying since you can not use the cool new /dev/disk/by-whatever feature of udev that way.

Please use $( readlink -f "$1" ) when assigning DEVICE in that script. That way the device the link points to will be used and this will pass the is-this-a-blockdev test (which a symlink does not).

Thanks!

Regards,
Tobias
