[Bug 1080208] Re: cryptsetup fails to determine root device from /etc/fstab

[Alexander Frankland]

added technical error to bug report.

** Description changed:

  As the title states, when cryptsetup is called, it fails to determine
  the root device from /etc/fstab
  
  CONTENTS OF /ETC/FSTAB:
  # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
  #
  # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
  # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
  # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
