https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739073 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739073#c0 Summary: Support of /etc/cryptotab silently dropped, no conversion done (Found after upgrade from 11.3) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@rz.uni-regensburg.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:9.0) Gecko/20111216 Firefox/9.0 SeaMonkey/2.6 When upgrading (due to end of life) from openSUSE 11.3 to 12.1, there was not notification about /etc/cryptotab being no longer supported in openSUSE 12.1. The upgrade started, but after finishing that, I found that I could not log in for no obvious reason. Investigating the problem I found that my encrypted /home was not mounted. There was no password prompt either. I found out that the current rccrypto refuses to handle the old /etc/cryptotab. I also found no notice in either the reference manual, nor in the release notes about that. So I wondered how to fix that disaster (having no access to all my personal files). Fortunately I found "convert_cryptotab" that helped me: My old cat /etc/cryptotab hat "/dev/loop0 /dev/sysVG/homeLV /home ext3 twofish256 acl,user_xattr" inside, while the new /etc/crypttab needed "cryptotab0 /dev/sysVG/homeLV none cipher=twofish-cbc-plain,hash=sha512,size=256,timeout=120". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade an older system using an encrypted filesystem to 12.1 Actual Results: There is no warning before upgrade. You cannot access your filesystem any more: You are not asked for a pass phrase any more. The documentation does not help you. You will curse the product. Expected Results: There should be a warning before upgrade about dropping support for the existing /etc/cryptotab. You should be able to access your date after upgrade. There should be documentation for the encrypted filesystem setup in case of emergencies. You should like the product. -- 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.

Also I think "deprecated" is too weak, because it actually stopped working.

What stopped working is /etc/cryptotab. There is no tool to convert your existing volumes to a new format. There is no need to do that anyways unless you actually care about proper crypto. You can access cryptoloop created volumes just fine using dm-crypt. That's why converting the config file is sufficient. -- 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.
