- system is a home server running Arch linux, full disk encrypted with dmcrypt/LUKS and remotely unlocked via dropbear_initrd_encrypt [1]
- it was updated today with the latest systemd packages ({lib}systemd{-sysvcompat} 219-5) and latest linux-lts (3.14.39), therefore the initramfs was rebuilt with mkinitcpio.
What happens: after rebooting I am locked out at the initramfs stage with the following error messages:
- on client trying to ssh in dropbear_initrd:
Device /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-<redacted_id>-part3 doesn't exist or access denied.
- on server:
Running systemd 219
(dropbear initialization sequence, everything is ok)
Starting dropbear

If I don't try to login via SSH there is a 15 seconds delay between [123] line and the first ERROR; there is no mean whatsoever to unlock dropbear locally as used to be the case ("enter passphrase for /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-<redacted_id>-part" used to be displayed).
