[Pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#351022: endless loop after syntax error in crypttab

[debbug2 at danisch.de]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.0.1-16

Hi,

I wanted to setup an encrypted swap device as described in 
/usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/CryptoSwap.HowTo . 

Unfortunately I made a small mistake and wrote the options argument
like

  swap precheck=swap

(space, instead of a comma). /etc/init.d/cryptsetup then went into an
endless loop, which could cause the machine to hang at boot time.

/etc/init.d/cryptsetup should be able to skip syntax errors in the
crypttab. 

regards
Hadmut
