[SOLVED:ithink]systemd-cryptsetup-generator Failed to create unit file

Error I see when I boot up:

[  70.231013]  systemd-cryptsetup-generator[200]: Failed to create unit file /run/systemd/generator/systemd-cryptsetup@boot.service: file exists"

Everything works fine. I have searched and not seen anything come up. I don't know what could be causing this message after I enter my passphrase to unlock non-boot partition.

Edit: I think I have narrowed down the issue to crypttab file. Going to try a few things and report back.

edit2:
So I figured out the issue.
I have backup fall back to manual password entry in my crypttab file in case something happens to the keyfile.

So the cryptsetup generator on boot luks parition runs twice but the second time it fails because it is already loaded.

my crypttab file:

boot	/dev/sdb3	/root/keyfile.key
boot	/dev/sdb3	none luks
