hello bastian, i guess that this is the same upstream bug as reported in #258376 even if it's not about the same particular action, it's the same general problem, that cryptsetup prints missleading messages, and even fails (exitcode 1) with error-messages in cases where it should only print a warning. can you verify this? if yes, the bugs could be merged. ... jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
