Bug Description
I am not sure if this bug belongs in cryptsetup. Otherwise please move it.
I have two encrypted partitions. If I boot up without a splash screen, the following happens:
The first one, my swap partition, prompts for a passphrase during bootup ("Enter password for sdaX_crypt:"). I type it in. Characters appears as *****. Great!
Second partition, I'm asked for a password, too, because the partition is listed in fstab. It's an ext4 partition. But this time my password is echoed on screen. That's not cool! When I type <enter>, the passphrase appears with ***** on a second line.
I do not know if this bug is caused by my partition being ext4 or because the second mount of a crypt_fs fails.
Please inform me if you need further debugging output.
