I believe the initramfs only sets up the rootfs, other partitions (/home) are set up afterwards. If I remeber correct cryptsetup is called by udev rules. In any case, that is the way it has to be, event driven, to catch on upon (/home) devices appearing without polling loops and sleep delays.
When I looked, I think bootwait, mdadm and cryptsetup where all looping and sleeping in initramfs independently in whatever course they get called. Therefore I suggested the watchdog timers I mentioned above and in the wiki. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251164 Title: boot impossible due to missing initramfs failure hook / event driven initramfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/251164/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
