This isn't necessarily a full answer to your question, but if Ubuntu is similar to Debian in this regard (it usually is), you can use the key file field in /etc/crypttab to specify the file that holds the passphrase. Make sure to read the crypttab(5) manpage as there are a few important caveats to be aware of. Then, again on Debian, there is /etc/default/cryptdisks that specifies CRYPTDISKS_MOUNT. According to the comments, this allows you to specify mountpoints that are mounted _before_ cryptsetup is invoked. That would only leave possibly unmounting the USB stick after booting. -- Michael Kjörling • https://michael.kjorling.se • michael@xxxxxxxxxxx “People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don’t.” (Bjarne Stroustrup) _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
