The Cryptsetup FAQ gives you more info about how to mount a LUKS volume from the initrd in Section 9: https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/FrequentlyAskedQuestions I recommend you do away with crypttab, at least for the moment, and do a direct setup as described there. That will at least give you a better understanding of how things work. Regards, Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.
