Unlock multiple partitions at once on boot-up



Hello list,
I recently set up a system/squeeze I wanna use as a gateway. For various reasons I decided to go for crypto-drives. Since I split up my hdd and configured mdadm-raid1, I ended up with multiple partitions for which I provided the same key. On bootup I now gotta prove that Im able to type the pass five times, I think, without flaw.
What I would need is either a place to tell that the same phrase is to be used to unlock them all or a scripting approach that repeats the entered string for all drives.
Sometimes I think this is an unfortunate setup, I should have encrypted a single volume, then raid1 on it and afterwards some virtual partitions via mdadm. Comments on that are highly appreciated since Im new to these hdd charms... :)

Have a nice day
Simon
