<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> file describes
encrypted block devices that are set up during system boot.</para>
<para>Empty lines and lines starting with the <literal>#</literal>
character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines describes one
encrypted block device. Fields are delimited by white space.</para>
<para>Each line is in the form<programlisting><replaceable>name</replaceable> <replaceable>encrypted-device</replaceable> <replaceable>password</replaceable> <replaceable>options</replaceable></programlisting>
The first two fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
optional.</para>
<para>Setting up encrypted block devices using this file supports
three encryption modes: LUKS, TrueCrypt and plain. See
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information about each mode. When no mode is specified in
the options field and the block device contains a LUKS signature,
it is opened as a LUKS device; otherwise, it is assumed to be in
raw dm-crypt (plain mode) format.</para>
<para>The first field contains the name of the resulting encrypted
block device; the device is set up within
<filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para>
<para>The second field contains a path to the underlying block
device or file, or a specification of a block device via
<literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the UUID.</para>
<para>The third field specifies the encryption password. If the
field is not present or the password is set to
<literal>none</literal> or <literal>-</literal>, the password has
to be manually entered during system boot. Otherwise, the field is
interpreted as an absolute path to a file containing the encryption
password. For swap encryption, <filename>/dev/urandom</filename>
or the hardware device <filename>/dev/hw_random</filename> can be
used as the password file; using <filename>/dev/random</filename>
may prevent boot completion if the system does not have enough
entropy to generate a truly random encryption key.</para>
<para>The fourth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of
options. The following options are recognized:</para>
<variablelist class='fstab-options'>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>cipher=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies the cipher to use. See
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for possible values and the default value of this option. A
cipher with unpredictable IV values, such as
<literal>aes-cbc-essiv:sha256</literal>, is
recommended.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Specifies the key slot to compare the

<para>Hint: if this device is used for a mount point that is specified in
<citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
the <option>_netdev</option> option should also be used for the mount

<term><option>noauto</option></term>
<listitem><para>This device will not be added to <filename>cryptsetup.target</filename>.
This means that it will not be automatically unlocked on boot, unless something else pulls
it in. In particular, if the device is used for a mount point, it'll be unlocked
automatically during boot, unless the mount point itself is also disabled with
<option>noauto</option>.</para></listitem>

<term><option>nofail</option></term>
<listitem><para>This device will not be a hard dependency of
<filename>cryptsetup.target</filename>. It'll be still pulled in and started, but the system
will not wait for the device to show up and be unlocked, and boot will not fail if this is
unsuccessful. Note that other units that depend on the unlocked device may still fail. In
particular, if the device is used for a mount point, the mount point itself is also needs to
have <option>noauto</option> option, or the boot will fail if the device is not unlocked
successfully.</para></listitem>

amount. Hence, if <option>offset=<replaceable>n</replaceable></option> is given,
sector <replaceable>n</replaceable> will get a sector number of 0 for the IV
calculation. Using <option>skip=</option> causes sector
<replaceable>n</replaceable> to also be the first sector of the mapped device, but
