Bonjour, I just added a crypted partition on my laptop (/home ans swap are crypted and until now no problem had occured with them) and this new partition is not mounted at boot, it is only to be mounted by user on demand. The whole install of this partition, went without any problems: it could be unlocked and mounted and unmounted and locked by the user without any problem, BUT while rebooting the laptop the boot process is blocked by "a start job is running for dev-mapper-chiffre.device (no limit)". What is this start job, I don't know! Why is it running, I don't know.... How to recover, I don't know... There always some problems with start/stop jobs which are running at boot or shutdown times. So what can I do to have a NORMAL boot? Thank you. -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
