<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> file describes
encrypted block devices that are set up during system boot.</para>
<para>Empty lines and lines starting with the <literal>#</literal>
character are ignored. Each of the remaining lines describes one
encrypted block device, fields on the line are delimited by white
space. The first two fields are mandatory, the remaining two are
optional.</para>
<para>Setting up encrypted block devices using this file supports
three encryption modes: LUKS, TrueCrypt and plain. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for more information about each mode. When no mode is specified in
the options field and the block device contains a LUKS signature,
it is opened as a LUKS device; otherwise, it is assumed to be in
raw dm-crypt (plain mode) format.</para>
<para>The first field contains the name of the resulting encrypted
block device; the device is set up within
<filename>/dev/mapper/</filename>.</para>
<para>The second field contains a path to the underlying block
device or file, or a specification of a block device via
<literal>UUID=</literal> followed by the UUID.</para>
<para>The third field specifies the encryption password. If the
field is not present or the password is set to
<literal>none</literal> or <literal>-</literal>, the password has
to be manually entered during system boot. Otherwise, the field is
interpreted as a absolute path to a file containing the encryption
password. For swap encryption, <filename>/dev/urandom</filename>
or the hardware device <filename>/dev/hw_random</filename> can be
used as the password file; using <filename>/dev/random</filename>
may prevent boot completion if the system does not have enough
entropy to generate a truly random encryption key.</para>
<para>The fourth field, if present, is a comma-delimited list of
options. The following options are recognized:</para>
<variablelist class='fstab-options'>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>discard</option></term>
<listitem><para>Allow discard requests to be passed through
the encrypted block device. This improves performance on SSD
storage but has security implications.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para>Specifies the cipher to use. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for possible values and the default value of this option. A
cipher with unpredictable IV values, such as
<literal>aes-cbc-essiv:sha256</literal>, is
recommended.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>hash=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies the hash to use for password
hashing. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>

option.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<listitem><para>Specifies the maximum number of bytes to read
from the key file. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for possible values and the default value of this option. This
option is ignored in plain encryption mode, as the key file
size is then given by the key size.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>key-slot=</option></term>
<listitem><para>Specifies the key slot to compare the
passphrase or key against. If the key slot does not match the
given passphrase or key, but another would, the setup of the
device will fail regardless. This option implies
<option>luks</option>. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>cryptsetup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
for possible values. The default is to try all key slots in
sequential order.</para></listitem>

<term><option>tcrypt</option></term>
<listitem><para>Use TrueCrypt encryption mode. When this mode

<option>keyfile-offset=</option>,
<option>keyfile-size=</option>,
<option>size=</option>.</para>
<para>When this mode is used, the passphrase is read from the
key file given in the third field. Only the first line of this
file is read, excluding the new line character.</para>
<para>Note that the TrueCrypt format uses both passphrase and
key files to derive a password for the volume. Therefore, the
passphrase and all key files need to be provided. Use
<option>tcrypt-keyfile=</option> to provide the absolute path
to all key files. When using an empty passphrase in
combination with one or more key files, use
<literal>/dev/null</literal> as the password file in the third
field.</para></listitem>
