9 Ahh, this could very likely be the difference. I use dm-crypt on all
10 my filesystems, so a very similar situation: my initramfs first mounts
11 my root filesystem, and then chroot's into it. The mount call from
12 userspace is likely the difference.

14 I would suggest to try and duplicate it with an initrd/initramfs, and
15 if it goes away, file a bug at bugs.kernel.org. They might refuse a
16 bug report with -ck sources, so you might have to report it with the
17 maintainer of the -ck sources, or switch to vanilla for the testing.
18 But either way it seems like a kernel bug to me...
