           Summary: cryptic error message when trying to switch /home to
                    encrpyted
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 13.1
           Version: RC 1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: aschnell@suse.com
        ReportedBy: froh@suse.com
         QAContact: jsrain@suse.com
          Found By: ---
           Blocker: ---

on a freshly installed 13.1 rc1 with an unencrypted /home partition on runlevel
3 as root on the console,

when I 
  select the /home partition
  [Edit] it,
  select [x] Encrypt Device,
  go [Next],
  enter a password
  and [Finish] 

then I get

  Error could not set encryption, 
  system error code is -3016
  The encryption password provided could be incorrect.

I'd expect, 'encrypting an existing partition is not supported' or 'you need to
(*) format the partition and erase all data on it' or something.
