Unfortunately exactly this code was changed, so it would be nice to reproduce it with new cryptsetup (1.6.6 ideally). > When this happens, it continues to fail when it prompts me again for > my password, until I reboot. It seems to fall into this issue about > 50% of the boots. ok, this is strange. I would say some udev script interfering here locking the device or so...

Please can you describe exactly how to reproduce it? How the partition table looks like (MBR or GPT?) and how is the devices mapped? (Paste lsblk output from correctly booted system). What is in /etc/cryptab and fstab and on kernel boot line? (Do you always use underlying partition for dmcrypt with btrfs on top of it?) Maybe it would be better to create new issue here just to track debug data https://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/issues/list Thanks, Milan _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
