<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> file
describes encrypted block devices that are set up
during system boot.</para>
<para>Empty lines and lines starting with the #
character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines
describes one encrypted block device, fields on the
line are delimited by white space. The first two
fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
optional.</para>
<para>The first field contains the name of the
resulting encrypted block device; the device is set up
within <filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para>
<para>The second field contains a path to the
underlying block device, or a specification of a block
device via <literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the
UUID. If the block device contains a LUKS signature,
it is opened as a LUKS encrypted partition; otherwise
it is assumed to be a raw dm-crypt partition.</para>
<para>The third field specifies the encryption
password. If the field is not present or the password
is set to none, the password has to be manually
entered during system boot. Otherwise the field is
interpreted as a path to a file containing the
encryption password. For swap encryption
<filename>/dev/urandom</filename> or the hardware
device <filename>/dev/hw_random</filename> can be used
as the password file; using
<filename>/dev/random</filename> may prevent boot
completion if the system does not have enough entropy
to generate a truly random encryption key.</para>
<para>The fourth field, if present, is a
comma-delimited list of options. The following
options are recognized:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>cipher=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies the cipher
to use; see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for possible values and the default
value of this option. A cipher with
unpredictable IV values, such as
<literal>aes-cbc-essiv:sha256</literal>,
is recommended. </para></listitem>

value of this option. This option is ignored
in plain encryption mode, as the keyfile-size is then given by the key size.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>keyfile-offset=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies the number
of bytes to skip at the start of

value of this option.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>hash=</varname></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies the hash to
use for password hashing; see

the default value of this
option. </para></listitem>
