   I am having booting problems on a system with a couple of entries in   
   /etc/crypttab. The boot pauses for about 2 min at about the time it is   
   supposed to be looking at those encrypted files so I think it has   
   something to do with them.   
      
   I have entries   
      
   crypt_sdb8 UUID=1bd4b79f-e2c6-4bf4-b3f6-26a59165dd7d - noauto   
   crypt_sdd5 UUID=49ab5ee9-8c18-4f44-9ddd-84503fb58b85 - nofail   
      
   Now the second is a usb removeable disk used for backup which is usually   
   not plugged in during bootup. The first is a   
   partition on one of the onboard disks.   
   Why is the system pausing?   
      
   Also, /etc/crypttab seems to be a file used by some obscure systemd to   
   mount encrypted systems at boot (or so the man page says) but says   
   nothing about how one can use it to mount encrypted partitions AFTER   
   boot (noauto). (Once again systemd's obscurity rides to the rescue.)
