Automounting a crypted device not working, manually works

[heikki-kniivila]

Hi.
I have this script at /root/cryptoskripta.sh

#!/bin/bash


ask_for_password () {
cryptkey="Unlocking the disk $cryptsource ($crypttarget)\nEnter passphrase: "
if [ -x /bin/plymouth ] && plymouth --ping; then
cryptkeyscript="plymouth ask-for-password --prompt"
cryptkey=$(printf "$cryptkey")
else
cryptkeyscript="/lib/cryptsetup/askpass"
fi
$cryptkeyscript "$cryptkey"
}


device=$(echo $1 | cut -d: -f1)
filepath=$(echo $1 | cut -d: -f2)


# Ask for password if device doesn't exist
if [ ! -b $device ]; then
ask_for_password
exit
fi


mkdir /tmp/auto_unlocker
mount $device /tmp/auto_unlocker


# Again ask for password if device exist but file doesn't exist
if [ ! -e /tmp/auto_unlocker$filepath ]; then
ask_for_password
else
cat /tmp/auto_unlocker$filepath
fi


umount /tmp/auto_unlocker

foud it there: https://askubuntu.com/questions/5948...rypt-partition

But the problem is that the mount isn't done automatically at boot.

if i do systemctl start systemd-cryptsetup@chome.service
it will give me an error arguing that the file /filu does not exist:
a paste: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/hrD8hhFzVq/

runing the command
cryptdisks_start chome
works anyhow.

So i can manually mount the device but not automatically on boot.

this is my /etc/crypttab:
chome UUID=763ccc90-something/dev/disk/by-uuid/e32fd99e-something1:/filu luks,keyscript=/root/cryptoskripta.sh
(replaced something there)

Any hint??

Could you just add it to an autostart file? What WM/DE are you using? Or you could autostart it from cron with something like:

@reboot /path/to/shell.script

right in your crontab file
