Package: cryptsetup
Version: 20050111-3
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if the system would not hang up if the passphrase can't
be typed.
Once the system comes up, the user has anyway the possibility to call
/etc/init.d/cryptdisks restart
in order to enter the passphrase and make visible the encrypted data.
I make this proposal because my laptop has a usb keyboard. This seems
a problem because once cryptdisks is started during the system
starting up, if usb support is not built into the kernel (not as
module), it is impossible for the user to type the passphrase and the
system waits for ever.
The timer could be configurable via a configuration file (e.g.:
/etc/cryptdisks).
For example:
- 60 seconds (default value, to ensure the system comes up in any
case!)
- 0 second (timer disabled, if the user doesn't like such a feature)
Thanks.
