NAME¶
systemd-cryptsetup@.service, systemd-cryptsetup - Full disk decryption logic
SYNOPSIS¶
systemd-cryptsetup@.service
/lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup
DESCRIPTION¶
systemd-cryptsetup@.service is a service responsible for setting up encrypted
block devices. It is instantiated for each device that requires decryption for
access.
systemd-cryptsetup@.service will ask for hard disk passwords via the
password
agent logic[1], in order to query the user for the password using the
right mechanism at boot and during runtime.
At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded this
/etc/crypttab is translated into systemd-cryptsetup@.service units by
systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8).
