https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=484901 Summary: Partitioner doesn't show opened encrypted partitions Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bitdealer@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- In my quest to somehow install openSUSE with an encrypted "/" I tried it the Archlinux way - as in setup the partitions manually, open the encrypted one and install into it and later adapt fstab, crypttab & menu.lst before the first boot. This way it isn't possible as well since the partitioner only shows the partition (e.g. /dev/sda3) but doesn't show the open mapper (e.g. /dev/mapper/root) which it should do IMHO. How to reproduce: 1. Start normal installation till the language/ keyboard layour. 2. Switch to console with CTRL+ALT+F1 3. Create partition layout with fdisk (sda1, sda2 & sda3) 4. Encrypt sda3: "cryptsetup -v --key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/sda3" 5. Open sda3 as /dev/mapper/root: "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 root" 6. Switch back to the GUI with CTRL+ALT+F7 and continue with the installation till the partitioner Now I would expect it to show /dev/mapper/root somewhere so I can assign the "/" mountpoint to it but it only shows /dev/sda3 which still makes it impossible to do an encrypted installation. IMHO opened & mapped encrypted partitions have to be listed in the partitioner (probably in the device mapper section). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
