I've been trying to get luks volumes mounted at login with pam_mount fscked on mount, but without success.

fstab provides the sixth field, where one can set a flag to determine whether the volume should be fscked on mount, and its priority. I'd like to set my luks partition, which is mounted with pam_mount to be fscked too.

/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml has in it the following:

<mntoptions allow="nosuid,nodev,loop,encryption,fsck,nonempty,allow_root,allow_other" />

However, as far as I can tell fsck is not an option to mount. Indeed, if I include fsck in the options=... given to the <volume ... /> statement in /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml, my volume does not get mounted at login.

<volume user="user" fstype="crypt" path="/dev/sda2" mountpoint="/mnt/myvolume" options="defaults,fsck" />

The man page for pam_mount.conf lists fsck among auxiliary programs for which special default parameters should be specified. In particular, for fsck:

<fsck>fsck -p %(FSCKTARGET)</fsck>
 Local volumes will be checked before mounting if this program is set.

But, I couldn't figure how to use this info. I'm not sure where the <fsck>...</fsck> statement should go, or whether %(FSCKTARGET) is an internal variable to pam_mount or something I should specify directly.

What is the proper way to get volumes mounted with pam_mount to get fscked on mount?
