<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> is a
service responsible for setting up encrypted block devices. It is
instantiated for each device that requires decryption for
access.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> will ask
for hard disk passwords via the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PasswordAgents">
password agent logic</ulink>, in order to query the user for the
password using the right mechanism at boot and during
runtime.</para>
<para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded, <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> is
translated into <filename>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</filename> units by
