Package: systemd
Version: 204-14
Severity: normal
Hi,
as discussed on IRC, systemd fails to bring up my iscsi-backed crypt
devices. Before systemd-sysv hit testing and was installed, they
worked.
Also, it seems to spend an awful lot of time bringing them online
(significantly longer than a minute or so).
I booted with systemd.log_level=debug, and put the contents of
/var/log/debug.log up at
https://www.palfrader.org/volatile/2014-07-07-8CnmVmaPpZA/var-log-debug

sda* are online, aux1 and mailback are not. Their backing devices exist:

fstab does not reference aux1 and mailbak - they get included using autofs.
Cheers,

Not following here. In contrast to classic sysv the jobs actually stay
queued until the devices show up. If you have iscsi devices that shall
be mounted during boot, then you really need to make sure that iscsi can
work in early boot. Then, if iscsi needs the network, then your network
system needs to be able to run in early-boot too.
I have the suspcicion this works on Fedora already.
But generally, the old Debian scheme of running cryptsetup twice doesn't
really apply to systemd, since we never scan for devices, we just
subscribe to them.
Anyway, still not grokking the actual problem here I must say...
Let's close this issue at this point. I don't think it's helpful to keep
this issue open while a lot has changed since 2014.
If there is still something missing, please file a new bug report.

Michael
