Bug Description

Binary package hint: cryptsetup

I am running a system with an unencrypted root, encrypted LVM PV with swap, tmp and home inside the encrypted PV. I have entered the PV into /etc/cryptab and the filesystems into /etc/fstab. On reboot the PV is unlocked but moves into "Checking Filesystems" too quickly and the boot process fails because the device nodes are not yet created.

Workaround: I have added a 'sleep 3' to the boot script /etc/init.d/checkfs.sh

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a consequence of bug 132373, so it is being marked as duplicate. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

I agree that it is not really obvious that these bugs are dupes. You can check my assumption by installing the testpackage from gutsy-proposed, which has the version number 2:1.0.5-2ubuntu2.1
