I have a encrypted external hard drive connected via USB. I want to be able to automatically access it after boot so I made a keyfile that I put in /etc/crypttab.
After updating the crypttab file I ran update-initramfs -u.
But after reboot the drive is still locked. Why is this?
I suspect it might be because of the order of things at boot. Maybe crypttab is called before the USB device is initialized?
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I had a incorrect crypttab that's why it didn't mount. It works now thanks!
