I guess this is not strictly a 64-bit question, but I have been posting on this board since 2004. I am on openSuSE 11.1, 64-bits, and I want to upgrade to 11.2. My problem is that I have four partitions, /boot, /swap, /, and /home, of which the last three are encrypted. If I remember correctly, here is how I ended up with the current configuration: Initially, I had normal ext3 partitions, but I was running out of hard disk space. I got a bigger drive, which I connected to my computer (a laptop) via USB2.0, which I fdisked to four partitions, of which I encrypted the last three using luksFormat, created loopback devices with 'cyptsetup luksOpen', mounted them, created ext3 filesystems, and then copied the data from the original (unecrypted) partitions. In GRUB, I also issued kernel directives so, the kernel can at least find a root file system. (Somehow, I cannot get the crypttab straight, the kernel ignores it,and prompts me for the password for all three encrypted partitions, and then I get a message that the encrypted partitions are already assigned, but that's another story.) the system works reasonably well. When I tried to upgrade via an openSuSE 11.2 DVD, naturally, the DVD's kernel could see the partitions, but displayed them as "unknown." How can I get out of it? I am too hesitant to upgrade via 'zypper dup'. Thank you in advance for your time.
