I have created an encrypted flash drive named 'LUKSFlash'. I have tested with the following:
$ sudo cryptdisks_start LUKSFlash
/dev/mapper/LUKSFlash now exists
$ sudo cryptdisks_stop LUKSFlash
/dev/mapper/LUKSFlash now gone.
All works as expected so far.
Here's the entry in /etc/crypttab:
LUKSFlash UUID=6f86be79-723d-4ce5-9ce1-047960b649c1 none luks,timeout=10
The issue: When booting the system with flash drive plugged in, I get a prompt to enter password. However the prompt dissapears so quickly it does not give me time to actually enter in a password. I have used the 'timeout' option in crypttab however that option seems to be ignored at bootup.
Before anyone asks: Yes, I do want to be prompted for a password and do not want to use a key.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
