<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for your help, Andrei. I filed an issue here: cryptsetup generator emits RequiresMountsFor for crypto keyfile which prevents keyfile being placed on removable storage · Issue #3816 · systemd/systemd <a href="https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3816">https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3816</a> </div>I used your explanation as it was better and more clear than anything I could have written. <div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 26, 2016 at 1:47 AM, Andrei Borzenkov <<a target="_blank" href="mailto:arvidjaar@gmail.com">arvidjaar@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 26, 2016 at 7:57 AM, Dave T <<a href="mailto:davestechshop@gmail.com">davestechshop@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Is systemd expected to stop / unmount an encrypted device when another > device containing the keyfile used to mount it (e.g., a removable USB drive) > is removed? > > when I umount and then remove the USB disk, I see the following line in > journalctl: > >> Jul 25 22:11:20 mserver systemd[1]: systemd-cryptsetup@aluks.service: >> Installed new job systemd-cryptsetup@aluks.service/stop > Well, cryptsetup generator emits RequiresMountsFor for keyfile; which implies that when filesystem that holds this file is unmounted, it also stops cryptsetup service. Which is of course wrong because filesystem is required only once, when crypto container is setup.
