Somebody who knows their system well enough will know what passphrase is expected for 13.2. On the other hand, someone who doesn't know their system well enough will see the 12.3 "explanation" as gibberish. So does it matter? When I last tried Fedora and Mint, they both had similar lack of explanation (just a box to type in the key). Maybe "/etc/crypttab" needs a prompt="string" option so that the explanation can be user provided. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The prompt now identifies the partition to be unlocked. However, users might still find this cryptic. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
