With cryptsetup if entering password takes too long, systemd falls back to emergency mode and cannot continue boot
Hello everybody!
I have Debian 8.2 and the following partitioning structure:
sda 8:0 0 111,8G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 200M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 60G 0 part
│ └─pc--vg-root 254:0 0 30G 0 lvm /
├─sda3 8:3 0 300M 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 100M 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 128M 0 part
└─sda6 8:6 0 51,1G 0 part
sdb 8:16 0 1,8T 0 disk
└─sdb1 8:17 0 1,5T 0 part
└─pc--vg-home 254:1 0 1000G 0 lvm
└─home_decrypted 254:2 0 1000G 0 crypt /home
I.e. I have root and /home inside lvm, and /home is encrypted.
During boot time I am prompted for password to decrypt /home, and if it
takes me too long time to enter it (for example, if I go afk), systemd says:
"Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to
view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" to
try again to boot into default mode."
But after it I am not prompted for root login/pass, but instead I am
prompted for "/home" decryption password.
If I enter it, initialization continues, but systemd only reaches
targets "System initialization" and "Basic System". These stages
complete successfully (no errors), but I can not login, because there is
no prompt for login. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+D do not help, there is nothing on
other ttys. Thus there is only one way for me: reboot.
Could you please help me to resolve this problem?
Thank you.
