[Comment 1 Pascal Roussel 2005-02-27 18:20:14 UTC]

and if I run

/etc/init.d/checkfs restart

after boot is complete, dm mappings are correctly created.
It only fails during boot sequence.

[Comment 2 Pascal Roussel 2005-02-27 21:24:57 UTC]

probably udev being too slow

well... that's still a bug...

[Comment 3 Peter Gantner (a.k.a. nephros) 2005-03-28 03:55:07 UTC]

Hmm, it seems to work if you have all the options on the same line.
swap=crypt-swap source='/dev/hda2'

I fell into the same trap; the documentation in the file and on the cryptfs guide is not clear on this..

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2005-05-14 13:53:08 UTC]

it should work as provided in the example

tigger/absinthe: ideas ?

[Comment 5 rob holland (RETIRED) 2005-05-15 03:55:11 UTC]

It works fine for me with options on more than one line. The only time I've seen the invalid argument problem is when the wrong AES module was loaded, or when it was missing entirely (generally after a kernel upgrade).

If its working by hand for you, I don't know what the problem is I'm afraid.

Just checked with more lines: it is working here too now. (sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.11-r3)

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2005-05-15 12:52:56 UTC]

well then ...
