cryptsetup-unlock waits until the initramfs boot script is blocking on passphrase prompt. This is only useful for injecting passphrases from outside the initramfs console (for instance from a remote shell). When you set ‘break=mount’ our boot script isn't running in the background, so cryptsetup-unlock timeouts. This is expected. Why are you running cryptsetup-unlock in the first place instead of relying on the builtin initramfs logic? Also, FWIW ‘break=mount’ breaks *after* unlocking whatever block devices need to be unlocked, so cryptsetup-initramfs has nothing more to do at this point. -- Guilhem.
