Description Thomas Weißschuh 2013-02-13 23:54:08 UTC 
cryptsetup-generator always generates units with "After=" (and "BindsTo=") dependencies with the pattern "<backendfile>.device".
Those will never be satisfied for file backed volumes, which are therefore bound to fail.

Versions: 197, 61cc634

Steps to reproduce:
Create file backed cryptovolume in /etc/crypttab

swap /swapfile /dev/urandom swap

Reboot

Units for /dev/mapper/swap.device and swap.swap time out while waiting for /swapfile.device
