Public bug reported:
Hi,
I have a computer with an encrypted raid array (encrypted inside mdadm
raid, and lvm inside encrypted device), thus just a single encrypted
device. Worked pretty well for years.
Recently, I've added a small SSD as a system disk with root and swap to
make the machine faster. Now I had three encrypted block devices. Since
it was annoying to enter the same password three times, I changed the
/etc/crypttab into
sdc3_crypt UUID=cdb53b1b-58d8-4c61-baad-68e7f19b3920 h1
luks,keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_keyctl,discard
sdc2_crypt UUID=b800eec1-ec70-44fd-aa17-0cc6dec90a9f h1
luks,keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_keyctl,discard,swap
md1_crypt UUID=a59b9b7e-233d-4519-af0f-3561607da1d9 h1
luks,keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_keyctl
to enter the password only once per boot.
Now, the system wasn't booting properly anymore. It came to asking for
the password in a regular way, but once I entered the password, system
went berserk. It either froze completely, or ignored most of the
keyboard keys, became extremely slow, sometimes came to the init
processes, but hang. Even if I was lucky enough to get a rescue root
shell, system did not work properly, it just did not make any sense and
seemed somewhat crazy. Impossible to use, and extremely slow.
Problems were permanent and happened with every boot, although
differing, but were completely gone after I used a rescue CDROM to
change the /etc/crypttab to its original state
sdc3_crypt UUID=cdb53b1b-58d8-4c61-baad-68e7f19b3920 none luks,discard
sdc2_crypt UUID=b800eec1-ec70-44fd-aa17-0cc6dec90a9f none luks,discard,swap
md1_crypt UUID=a59b9b7e-233d-4519-af0f-3561607da1d9 none luks
and rebuild the initramdisk. Now the system works just normal again (and
keeps asking me for the password three times).
So it pretty much looks as if decrypt_keyctl is somewhat incompatible with the
kernel and somehow breaks kernel structures.
