Systemd doesn't wait for cryptdevices to be there

[GenProm]

Hello Commnuity,

I installed systemd yesterday and all works as it should and in in general pleased with it. But there is one issue:

When i boot up, i get asked for my password for an encrypted partition with volume groups who create dev/mapper/home and /dev/mapper/data

So far so good, however also systemd tries to mount dev/mapper/home and dev/mapper/data simultaneously , what will fail because i did not enter the password yet.

So i get this 1 min 30 second timeout where systemd tries to mount the non existent devices. After that i get to the rescue console.

It goes something like this: starting device service for /dev/mapper/home .......

But /dev/mapper/home is not yet existent!

How to fix this ?

For me there are two ideas to fix it:
- Make the local fs mounter wait till cryptsetup has unlocked the partitions.
- Make cryptsetup/systemd wait for a timeout before it starts the next services after it
- I dont want to make an initramfs and fix it this way

What i tried:
- the systemd.automount and noauto flags in fstab -> no effect
- starting lvm2_monitor service -> no effect
- setting a timeout in /etc/cryptab -> no effect possibly due to bug: https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1201079.html However there is a patch but i don't know if it is already included in 12-r5 : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=aa62a89
- masking systemctl mask lvm2-activation-early.service -> no effect

So how could i implement one of my ideas or is there another solution ?

Also could i use the patch from Lennart to patch my systemd 12-r5 install if it is not included ?

Is it save to use systemd 13 ?

Thanks for all ideas about this

yes,
if systemd asked for the passphase,
just enter your password simultaneously and press enter!
