Comment 16 for bug 139363

10111 : Would that be a solution for bug 55159 ? We should also be sure that the password is not echoed in the console or anywhere in plain text. Also I thought more about your proposition to add cryptsetup prompt in initramfs instead of init.d and this can make sense since filesystem is not necessary mounted at this stage, cryptsetup only creates the /dev/mapper device. I was probably wrong, this might be a interesting solution. It would also not ask for cryptsetup password in the middle of the boot process, but directly at start, which woud be more interesting for the final user IMO.
