If the process was killed by OOM (out of memory daemon), then it cannot print anything - it is simply stopped by the kernel. But if it really fails with return code 3 (out of memory), then it should print a visible error - if not, we have to fix it. (Verbose option only translates return code to something readable but there should be an error message much earlier.) Is it simple cryptsetup open activation (no systemd-cryptsetup magic)? (If so, please add new issue upstream and link this bug, we will fix that.) Thanks, Milan
