Description

Multiple LUKS containers can be unlocked during early boot, optionally with one shared passphrase workflow. Administrators use this hook when several encrypted volumes must be available before the main system starts.

It is an encryption boot hook, not a disk setup wizard. Mistakes can block boot or expose passphrase workflow assumptions, so test recovery paths carefully.
