All passwords are already entered, the problem occurs some time after
the passwords have been entered, and as far as I could see on the debug
console, all encrypted devices exist under /dev/mapper, so it does not
seem to be caused by encryption (except for the fact that encryption
generataes long device names as /dev/mapper/crypt... which get
shortened).


My current guess is that it is a problem with the swap device (I'm using 
separate encrypted swap devices on those machines where the problem occurs), 
that systemd somehow tries to clean/format the swap device and something goes 
wrong there. 

And no, the problem is not new, I've already seen this months ago. It
came with 16.04/systemd.
