I think there had been an assumption that this person had been
watching
the bugzilla entry for encrypted file systems and would include patches
posted there once people reported they were working OK. That assumption seems
to have been incorrect.
The patches, as posted, are broken:
- they introduce a new configuration file when mkinitrd already has one
- they hardcode device names in the exact same way that /etc/crypttab
does, meaning that it will fail in the exact same way with hotplugged
drives or device ordering changes that /etc/crypttab does (and does
with a vengeance in any FC6 -> F7 upgrade). Considering this is the
root device, that's *bad*.
