indefinite wait at startup for non-configured cryptoLUKS device
Describe the bug Upon creating a cryptoLUKS partition, the system will no longer boot unless I correctly enter the passphrase for the cryptoLUKS device. The mere existence of this partition causes this to happen. There is no rd.luks boot parameter. No entry in /etc/crypttab.
Distribution used Fedora 34
Dracut version dracut-053-5.fc34.x86_64
Init system systemd-248-2.fc34.x86_64
To Reproduce
- Install a Fedora system without any encryption. It boots and starts up as expected.
- Add a partition and use 'cryptsetup luksFormat' on it. No other changes.
- Boot the system. Now it waits indefinitely for a passphrase.
Expected behavior The system should still startup without requiring intervention from the user.
Additional context The problem doesn't happen following downgrade to dracut-051-1.fc34.x86_64 and rebuilding initramfs. journal.log
OK after downgrading to dracut-051, rebuilding initramfs and showing the problem doesn't reproduce; I upgraded back to 053, rebuilt the initramfs and expect it to happen again. It doesn't. I don't know why because the initramfs clearly contains systemd-248-2 and dracut-053-5 in both cases. I'm not sure what's different.
In the reported failing journal.log I first see this device's UUID:
[ 1.923539] systemd[1]: unit_file_build_name_map: normal unit file: /run/systemd/generator/systemd-cryptsetup@luks\x2dafd5a880\x2d6672\x2d4d63\x2d913e\x2dd6b6d2825d98.service
This line doesn't exist anymore. Attaching that as journal2.log. journal2.log
