Right now, the encrypt initcpio hook immediately reverts to a passphrase if the cryptdevice cannot be found. I'd like it to show a prompt: (R)etry or (P)assphrase.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  Rebooting isn't really a big deal at this point. Make sure your disks are in order when you're booting.

I'm assuming that you mean cryptkey, not cryptdevice, as the latter doesn't make any sense.

Attached hook is a bit of a refactor which includes this feature. Feedback welcome.

Hi, thanks for this, I'll try the hook you wrote. I did mean cryptdevice - say I have a key on a pendrive but forget to insert it. I only have 10 seconds, else I have to reboot.

I'm far less inclined to support that.

Ah, sorry. With "this" I meant the current situation, not your patch.
Your patch handles it better thanks to this trigger:
read -n 1 -p "(R)etry cryptkey device, or revert to (P)assphrase? "

So thanks, will test it tomorrow and check back with the results.
