You should report this problem there.> Okay, I assume that is a quite good point - i didn't know this fact.. Ithought crypttab is part of cryptsetup and has - more or less - nothingto do with anything else in first place.Since the failure takes some time to happen, I will probably report backin a couple of days or weeks.
