crypttab standardization
Hello,
Why does every distribution need its own solution for the /etc/crypttab format and a parser to do useful things with it?
Is there some reason why cryptsetup doesn't itself support mounting specific targets or at least provide some utility like "cryptmount" which can handle this file? ... and most importantly, a manpage =)
-Matt
Simple: Out of project scope. crypttab is necessarily distro specific, as it is part of the init configuration.
