Package: cryptsetup-initramfs Every time I see bug #671037 referenced in the docs (README.initramfs.gz) or do a rename I feel bad. When I first encountered this long before the bug was submitted I found a easier/safer way. Sorry for not responding till now.
if you have old_name /dev/... none luks and you want new_name instead, modify your crypttab new_name /dev/... none luks rename the mapping dmsetup rename old_name new_name update the initramfs update-initramfs -uk all done. As far as the currently booted system goes, it already sees the new names, so a reboot is actually optional. I would recommend a reboot though as you'd likely rather find out now that you have a problem than the next time the power goes out. Sorry I didn't send this nearly a decade sooner. Thanks for the fantastic initram(rd/fs) support provided in Debian. >>>------>
