I'm not using the same setup as you, but looking at rc.sysinit, it should support a setup like the following (where any link in the chain can be skipped of course): raid -> lvm -> encrypt -> lvm -> fs So in principle your setup should work (notice that inside the crypttab stuff there is a call to activate_vgs). I don't know how to solve your particular problem though, just thought I'd let you know that it "should work" (TM). Cheers, Tom
