I'd like to be able to unlock my luks encrypted drive (lvm - including the root 
partition) with a USB key, but if the USB key is not present, still ask for a 
passphrase.

I'm not clear on how systemd does the unlock during boot, but it seems that 
Fedora 28 and CentOS/RHEL 7 both use systemd for this task. Where would I look 
to change the behavior to do what I'm looking for?

In Debian/Ubuntu, there is a keyscript file that gets put into the initramfs, 
but I don't think theirs is systemd based. Arch has a similar method with a 
hook, but I've only used it with the non-systemd initramfs. Fedora has a crypt 
module, but I have to disable systemd or it won't work. I'm not sure what 
systemd is doing in the initramfs, so I'm not sure if I want to disable that 
module or not. I'm hoping there's a better way to interact with systemd.

Thanks.
