Details

Currently the encrypt hook for mkinitcpio can parse only on volume for encryption in the early boot stage. But there are some situations where multiple encrypted volumes are required to build a lvm or raid device.

sda1 -> Encrypted sdb1 -> Encrypted

Both volumes (sda1 and sdb1) are from the same volume group or raidset, but encrypted with different settings and/or passwords. The following syntax for encrypt maybe a good solution for this: cryptdevice=/dev/sda1:sda1_crypt,/dev/sdb1:sdb1_crypt
