http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555241 Summary: LVM-based encrypted swap logical volume is not used Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.23) Gecko/20090410 SUSE/1.1.18-0.1.1 SeaMonkey/1.1.18 When configuring an LVM-based layout with the partitioner, an encrypted swap partition is not recognized as a valid swap partition (Warning appears when finishing), and no entry in /etc/fstab is created. During boot, the password for the swap LV is queried, but the LV is not used as swap. Activating the swap LV manually works, however. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use LVM 2. Use an LV for swap 3. Check the "encrypt" option 4. Select mount as "swap" Actual Results: swap is initialized, but not used Expected Results: swap should be used Trying to activate that swap LV with YaST in the running system also doesn't work. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555241#c3 Arvin Schnell changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID --- Comment #3 from Arvin Schnell 2009-11-17 16:47:45 UTC --- The logs show thow you simply didn't assign a mount point for the swap logical volume. See the proposal: Boot-Partition /dev/sda1 (86.29 MB) mit ext4 erstellen Erweiterte Partition /dev/sda2 (76.60 GB) erstellen Partition /dev/sda5 (76.59 GB) mit id=8E erstellen Volume-Gruppe system aus /dev/sda5 erstellen Verschlüsseltes logisches Volume /dev/system/sys-home (40.00 GB) für /home mit ext4 erstellen Logisches Volume /dev/system/sys-root (20.00 GB) für / mit ext4 erstellen Logisches Volume /dev/system/sys-swap (2.00 GB) erstellen The last entry doesn't mention a mount point. The target-map holding all partitioning info shows the same. It's also consistent with the observation that /etc/crypttab includes an entry for sys-swap while /etc/fstab does not. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555241 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555241#c6 --- Comment #6 from Ulrich Windl 2009-11-24 14:26:16 CET --- Never mind: As "suspend to disk" won't work with an encrypted swap (or I don't know how to make it work), I used YaST to revert it to non-encrypted swap. THEN Yast did modify /etc/fstab (I had added the necessary entry by hand before). However you cannot mkswap on it as the device still seems to be in use by the device mapper. For recovery reasons it would be nice if that technology were explained in the reference guide (e.g. chapter 11 in the security guide). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
