Mmmh. I don't use LUKS, but from what I understand, systemd generates |
| 25 |
the unit files necessary to mount encrypted partitions, and to do this |
| 26 |
it needs /etc/crypttab, in the same manner that it needs /etc/fstab to |
| 27 |
generate the unit files for the normal partitions. |

I would add it anyway. |

Are you sure it's not under the "advanced" submenu? |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
One question: how is the /etc/fstab file in the systemd installation? |
