Public bug reported: Binary package hint: mountall
separate bug originally posted as comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/456274/comments/34 by Andreas Lieser on 2009-12-06: I did a fresh Karmic install 2 weeks ago, too, and I still got this bug. I have two encrypted filesystem (/ and /home) which should be automatically be mounted at boot time. When rebooting I got the splash screen with the following displayed: Unlocking the disk /dev/sda2 (cryptroot) Enter passphrase: cryptsetup: cryptroot setup successfully This works as expected, but then it fails back to a console: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/sda1: clean, 171/66264 files, 49686/265040 blocks fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/mapper/cryptroot: 162901/985424 files, 1202649/3937556 blocks * Starting init crypto disks... * cryptroot (running)... * crypthome (starting) Enter passphrase to unlock the disk /dev/sda4 (crypthome): One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: (ESC for recovery shell) /home: waiting for /dev/mapper/crypthome I can't enter a password for my encrypted home directory (tested several times), and there is no disk activity. I have to press ESC several times to get to the recovery shell: mountall: Cancelled init: mountall main process (496) terminated with status 1 General error mounting filesystems. A maintenance shell will now be started. CONTROL-D will terminate this shell an re-try. r...@laptop-anl:#: Then I have to open the crypted home directory manually using "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda4 crypthome", which I have to type in blindly because there is no echo on my console window. Then I get asked for the passphrase, which I put in and after that I continue reboot with "CONTROL-D". The workaround from #2 (disabling splash at grub) works for me. Mounting several enrcrypted filesystems with splash enabled worked flawlessly in 9.04 and with a fresh install of Karmic, but stopped working 3 or 4 days ago.
