Hi,

I tested your patch and actually it doesn't solve the bug.
For example, if "hash=sha512" is provided in /etc/crypttab, the
first >                           if (!streq(arg_hash, "plain"))
is true, and the
+                } else if (!key_file)
is not reached.
This is be design. My patch is quite different from your patch,
which I tried to make clear in the description.

If you specify hash=sha512, then you get hash=sha512.

Yes, and this is the problem.
cryptsetup ignores the hash, so that we should obtain hash=NULL for
it to work.
Systemd is not going to work around a bug in a different package.
Specifying a hash in the configuration if you don't want a hash
is an error, please just fix it there.

I understand your point.
Still you have a cryptsetup tool in systemd, so I would expect it behaves as the "true" cryptsetup program.

The problem here is compatibility, you do something with cryptsetup and then your system fails to boot because of a different behaviour of systemd.

But it's up to you, that may just get users and installers into trouble.

Best regards,
Quentin

PS: Actually, the good practice is to have a key file obtained from /dev/random, with the correct key size, so I'm not sure hashing the key file matters.
