Truecrypt and cryptdisks_start: failing with CRYPTTAB_OPTION_tcrypt-system: bad variable name

[Claudio Moretti <flyingstar16@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I have recently (aka today) encrypted my Windows system partition with Truecrypt.

My system is booting fine (both Windows and Debian sid), but I have the necessity of mounting the Windows partition when booting Debian (all my files are there).

I found out that with a simple entry in /etc/crypttab this should be easily done, but when I tried it, I got the following error:

[....] Starting crypto disk.../usr/sbin/cryptdisks_start: 1: export: CRYPTTAB_OPTION_tcrypt-system: bad variable name

I thought it was a bad-something happening with the Debian version of cryptsetup (2:1.6.1-1), so I downloaded and compiled the 1.7.0-git version and tried to use it. The same error occurs

root@Chuck:/home/claudio# /usr/sbin/cryptdisks_start truecrypt
[....] Starting crypto disk.../usr/sbin/cryptdisks_start: 1: export: CRYPTTAB_OPTION_tcrypt-system: bad variable name

in an online version of the crypttab manpage[1] I can see the tcrypt and tcrypt-system options, and how to use them; in my manpage (cryptsetup 2:1.6.1-1 2013-06-28 CRYPTTAB(5) ) there is no such thing.

I know that this is not the 1.7.0-git manpage, but (AFAIK) the tcrypt and tcrypt-system options should be there and, nevertheless, 1.7.0-git does not work.

I don't know how to solve this. I can't reboot rigth now, so I don't know if the "workaround" I'm trying ('cat passwordfile | /usr/sbin/cryptsetup --tcrypt-system tcryptOpen /dev/sda1 truecrypt' and 'mount -a' in /etc/rc.local) works, but I'd prefer to use the 'built-in' function.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Claudio
