Well, rephrasing: The <key_dev_fs> is unnecessary if you want to use
UUID or LABEL.
I see.
I think specifying the target file system is important because by just
executing 'mount' without indicating the target file system when I have,
for example, HFS or HPFS mount just won't happen.
Why? My mount(8) is able to detect HFS or HPFS.
I have no such luck when trying to mount my (Macbook Pro) laptop
partition, nor when I try to mount my OS/2 Warp (v3.01) server disk
drive, hence why I always specify the target file system - then it works
every time.
My point still stands though - leaving the 'guessing' of the target file
system to mount is not a good idea and <key_dev_fs> should not be
removed as a parameter (it may not be mandatory, but should always be
catered for). I would also add that both <key_dev> and <luks_dev> should
be able to support the Linux drive notation (sdXX, hdXX etc) in addition
to label and uuid.
