[Bug 876626] Re: Unlocking the second crypto disk (/home) echos password on console

[James Hunt]

@ilf -please be assured that we are still working on this issue. There
are a lot of variables to consider here and the problem is providing
difficult to isolate. Please can I ask those affected by this issue to
be patient.

As an update on the issue itself, we believe the problem is not actually
related to crypto: it is simply manifested for users with crypto devices
since they are prompted by plymouth for the passphrase and that is where
the problem is observed.

As we learn more, we will update this bug and quite possibly ask those
affected for further details to help us resolve this issue.
