It is great that initscripts supports encrypted partitions,
but this support is useless for me, because I can't specify
other options for cryptsetup in /etc/crypttab file. There
should be extra column for cryptsetup options.
For example I am using these cryptsetup options (because it brings better security and protection against watermark attacks): -h sha256 --cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 Is it possible to add new column for for cryptsetup options to /etc/crypttab file? It shouldn't be hard... |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Implemented
Additional comments about closing: There's a version in Testing that supports a fourth "options" column.
mkinitrd has not been updated yet, but mkinitcpio should support additional cryptsetup options.

Btw. maybe it will be sufficient to add 2 columns to /etc/cryptsetup - one for hash function and one for cipher. It should be easier, because then there aren't whitespaces.
