Comment 41 for bug 430496

...with bootwait added to fstab the thing waits indefinitely for the password, which is good. (it still produces "some filesystem could not be mounted, pres esc for recovery shell,etc" (which is not appropriate in this context), However, at least it waits with every thing untill passphrase is entered.
Without bootwait, the above mentioned scenario happens (gdm starts, ttys do not).
Also, shouldn't the bootwait documented somewhere in the manpages? When I first ran into this I looked up the mount manpage to find such an option, quite like _netdev is mentioned in the same manpage.
