Login manager ask for authentication twice when i add an entry to the file /etc/crypttab


The fact that I add a new line in the file /etc/crypttab makes my login manager (lightdm) ask for authentication twice, but only one time each restart, meaning when i already authenticated twice, if I log out and log in, there is only one authentication required, as usual, until I restart the computer again.

This is my /etc/crypttab output:
Code:
sda3_crypt UUID=88ef98b2-bcb8-4dfb-993d-3daab3fbb4c7 none luks,discard
archlvm UUID=fddb5547-86fe-4da2-950d-bfcee15e3dbf none luks,discard
First line was added by the bootloader (I think) and match the encrypted partition where is located my / mountpoint partition.

The second line was added by myself, it refers to an other partition, also encrypted, which I use to store data.

The second entry makes the job perfectly, so the partition is decrypted during boot, but for some reason it`s the cause of the double authentication I mentioned before.

I would like to know why this happens and what should I make to fix it.

Thankss a lot.
