Yes I did, in logs is nothing in terms of errors or warning, 
well, I could not find anything.
This I'll say if I try to rephrase my words earlier - I have 
an number of luks devices which _all_ are "ignored" at boot 
(as snippets from crypttab & fstab show) and are meant to be 
opened & mounted only manually: so I check to open & mount 
as above snippet shows and...
for all devices but one, I get from 'systemd' to mount manually.
Conditional check - systemctl is-failed ... - works for all 
devices but that one.
Why?? no idea.
Would there be something specific I should be looking in 
logs for?
many thanks, L.
