Downgrading udev and libudev1 to 239-15 did not help. It also still 
happens with udev 240-2.

The problem is, that `/dev/mapper/sda3_crypt` is not there for some reason.

    $ ls -l /dev/mapper/
    insgesamt 0
    crw------- 1 root root 10, 236 Dez 29 10:55 control

From the systemd journal:

    Dez 29 10:55:11 ersatz kernel:  sda: sda1 sda2 sda3
    Dez 29 10:55:11 ersatz systemd[1]: Starting Cryptography Setup for 
sda3_crypt...
    Dez 29 10:55:11 ersatz systemd-cryptsetup[369]: Volume sda3_crypt 
already active.
    Dez 29 10:55:11 ersatz systemd[1]: Started Cryptography Setup for 
sda3_crypt.

I wonder, how it works at all, as `/dev/mapper/sda3_crypt` is used in 
`/etc/fstab`.


Kind regards,

Paul
