 Posted: Thu May 04, 2023 2:17 am Post subject: /etc/crypttab? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I have an entry in /etc/crypttab, but when I connect a drive with a luks encryption, it doesn't automatically open the luks device. I have been able to work around this using a custom udev rule, but I would like to get the crypttab method working.
Note that I am NOT trying to boot the system from the encrypted partition.
My entry in /etc/cryptab:
| Code: | | ext_backups UUID=5b817c75-c26a-407f-91ab-46410c061f69 /root/Crypt/cryptkey luks |
This is the correct UUID:
| Code: | # cryptsetup luksUUID /dev/sdc3
5b817c75-c26a-407f-91ab-46410c061f69 |
My system uses OpenRC, not systemd.
| Code: | # emerge --info

My system uses OpenRC, not systemd. |
OpenRC startup scripts do not consider /etc/crypttab at all.
Other tools, like dracut initramfs, may.
If you want to automatically open this device on system startup, then configure /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt and add dmcrypt to a runlevel. This does assume the device is always accessible.
Perhaps there are other tools that hook into say udisks or udev that can unlock removable devices. |

| Thanks for clarifying that. I'll continue using my udev rule. |

| Code: | target=external_backup
source=UUID="2868dedf-1d15-42e9-9bfc-f63c11935915"
key=/etc/keys/external/keyfile_external_backup
wait=2 |
Then, a simple restart of dmcrypt service to unlock the external drive.
Also, if the laptop doesn't boot with the external hdd attached, then it only waits 2s and skip the target.
Obviously, this requires some manual input. So udev rule might be better indeed.
Another option (using udisks) is udiskie, with a nice little tray icon helper if one doesn't want to manage udev rules manually. Very easy to configure. (similar to dmcrypt), I use that now. |
