I just made an encrypted partition with cryptsetup which creates a /dev/mapper/sda5 file. I formatted this ext3, this is for my /home partition. Well I close the partition and rebooted, Now the system wont boot, it hangs at Checking filesystems: It's looking for /dev/mapper/sda5 which is not present. How can the system ignore this partition? I think it part of initscripts. Does it look at /etc/fstab? /dev/mapper/sda5 /home ext3 noauto 1 2 This is not present until cryptsetup luksOpen. Any suggestions? -Louis
