-# crypttab: Mappings for encrypted partitions
+# crypttab: mappings for encrypted partitions
 #
 # Each mapped device will be created in /dev/mapper, so your /etc/fstab
-# should use the /dev/mapper/{NAME} paths for encrypted devices.
+# should use the /dev/mapper/<name> paths for encrypted devices.
 #
-# Each PASSWORD field can be an absolute pathname to a key file (starting
-# with a slash, recommended) or a literal string that will be used as
-# a passphrase. To use special characters in the passphrase, surround it
-# by quotes, the usual bash quoting rules apply.
-# There are two special keywords that cannot be used as passphrases:
-#   - ASK  ask for a passphrase on boot
-#   - SWAP use a random key and create a swapspace afterwards
-# WARNING: use the SWAP keyword carefully, as it overwrites the data
-#          on the specified partition
-# 
-# To create a key file:
-#    hashalot -n 32 ripemd160 >/etc/crytfs.key
-# or
-#    dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/cryptfs.key bs=256 count=1
+# The Arch specific syntax has been deprecated, see crypttab(5) for the
+# new supported syntax.
 #
-# To pass additional options to cryptsetup for non-LUKS partitions, use the
-# fourth column.
-#
 # NOTE: Do not list your root (/) partition here, it must be set up
 #       beforehand by the initramfs (/etc/mkinitcpio.conf).
