[systemd-devel] [PATCH] cryptsetup: Implement offset and skip options

[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

we get bug reports that the switch to systemd destroyed the underlying
partitions of encrypted swap partitions which were using "offset=". As
this is silently ignored right now, the cryptsetup plain device always
starts at the beginning of the device, deleting everything which was
before the intended offset. In particular, this removed any UUID or
other signature that crypttab referred to to identify the underlying
device.

This simple patch adds offset=. While I was at it I also added skip=.
I attached my script for testing this to the fd.o bug.

Thanks for considering,

Martin
