cryptsetup: ERROR: Couldn't resolve device
    UUID=ff81d97b-e273-4ec3-8e82-a2c0aa4e7e20

I tried this again on two additional systems (and LPAR and a z/VM guest) and it worked in both cases, so I assume that is was a race situation.
I will re-try again with the RC that will come out soon and will decide based on the test of that.
