Hi Holger,

Thanks for the report.

I have committed the attached patch to the release-notes and it will be
visible on the website within 4-6 hours from now.

If you can spare a moment to review it, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
~Niels

+  <para>
+    There are some cryptsetup that are unfortunately not supported
+    when running with systemd as the init system.  These are:
+  </para>
+  <itemizedlist>
+    <listitem>
+      <para>precheck</para>
+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      <para>check</para>

+    </listitem>
+    <listitem>
+      <para>keyscript</para>
+    </listitem>
+  </itemizedlist>
+  <para>
+    If your system relies on any of these for successful booting, you
+    will have to use sysvinit (<systemitem
+    role="package">sysvinit-core</systemitem>) as init system.  Please
+    refer to <xref linkend="systemd-upgrade-default-init-system" />
+    for how to avoid a particular init system.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    You can check if any of these options are in use on your system by
+    running the following command:
+  </para>
+  <screen>
+grep -e precheck -e check -e checkargs -e noearly -e loud -e keyscript /etc/crypttab
+</screen>
+  <para>
+    If there is no output from the above, your system does not use any
+    of the affected options.
