I have 2 disks, both encrypted. I prefer only to enter the decryption password once. Both Dracut and Ge= nkernel=20 insist on asking for the password/key for every single disk. The ONLY reason why I feel an initramfs is warranted is because of the=20= encryption. Without that, it should not be necessary. =2D- Joost --nextPart4162751.gcNJfhWHii Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
