Hi, The initscript will need to return zero exit status in this case (Debian policy seems to allow that, despite contradictory LSB policy). But there is still a choice in how this can be displayed: 1. With existing log_failure_msg: Starting GELI subsystem... UNCONFIGURED. See /etc/default/geli ... failed! 2. With log_success_msg (with implicit log_end_msg 0 = 'ok') : Starting GELI subsystem... UNCONFIGURED. See /etc/default/geli. 3. With log_warning_msg (with implicit log_end_msg 255 = 'warning') : Starting GELI subsystem... UNCONFIGURED. See /etc/default/geli (warning). And if we get the fancy new lsb-base (4.1+Debian0+fancy1) in Wheezy, these would be preceded by [FAIL], [ ok ] or [warn] coloured red/green/yellow respectively. I think I prefer option 3, and also fixing the screaming capital letters. That seems the best way to communicate a not-quite-successful status, so the administrator is encouraged to either properly configure it or remove it.
