Title:
16.04 - initrd fails to decrypt and mount /usr directory when it's on
it's own cryptsetup partition
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, upgraded from a 15.10 that did not show the
issue.
Initramd fails at setting up the encrypted /usr partition.
At the (initramfs) prompt the following command is accepted and succeeds at
decrypting the partition:
cryptsetup --key-file /root/etc/keys/sda5_usr open --type luks
/dev/sda5 sda5_usr
After entering the above command and pressing <Ctrl>+<d> to exit the
initramfs shell, system boot resumes and completes successfully.
/etc (in the initramd) does not have the crypttab file, which is present in
the decrypted and mounted root filesystem in /root/etc.
The problem manifests itself regardless that in /etc/initramfs-
tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most or MODULES=dep is set before
generating the initrd.
Terminal output of the failed boot up to the initramfs prompt:

Gave up waiting for /usr device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
