I have 4 encrypted partitions besides root and don't have this problem, but I have real passwords instead of ASK in /etc/crypttab (otherwise I would be very lazy to enter them 5 times instead of one :-P)
It would probably be a bit more secure to write a keyfile onto a USB stick either as a file or with dd and apply one of those patches to /etc/rc.sysinit: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/11648 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15016
I don't see why it's more secure.
And if you add one of these lines to your kernel line in grub's menu.lst then you don't need to enter one single passphrase. Just plugin the USB stick before and unplug it after booting. ;-)
And that's way it's much less secure, someone just takes your USB stick and logins. P.S.: sorry for the offtopic. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
