You are right. This is an encrypted partition and is only a problem during
installation. The expert partitioner correctly asks for the passphrase and the
partition is created during the partitioning process and even added to
/etc/fstab, but it does not mount (or fails trying to mount ) /home prior to
the software installation phase. Therefore, creating the user will fail
because /home is not mounted. If I reboot the system after installation is
completed, the boot process will ask for the passphrase for the partition,
mount it and continue with the boot process. Then users can be added and the
/home partion can be accessed.
Sometime between Beta 5 and RC1 the INSTALL process was broken between the disk
setup and the software installation phase, probably in the code that mounts the
partitions just after they are created.
