Description:
The etc/crypttab file says: # The Arch specific syntax has been deprecated, see crypttab(5) for the # new supported syntax. but I have no idea what this "Arch-specific" syntax is about. What about: # See crypttab(5) for the systemd-supported syntax. This also does not seem completely accurate (or is at least slightly confusing): # NOTE: Do not list your root (/) partition here, it must be set up # beforehand by the initramfs (/etc/mkinitcpio.conf). When the etc/crypttab file is created exists in the initramfs (e.g. by listing it FILES in in mkinitcpio.conf), it should be able to mount the rootfs. Alternatively, etc/crypttab.initramfs can be used (see mkinitcpio -H sd-encrypt), it might be worth to update the crypttab manpage and/or crypttab file to reflect this.
