[Bug 333858] New: LUKS encrypted swap doesn't get mounted on startup
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333858 Summary: LUKS encrypted swap doesn't get mounted on startup Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bockhold@cmab.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other Following the howto (http://en.opensuse.org/Encrypted_Root_File_System_with_SUSE_HOWTO) I've got a problem with the mounting of the swap partition. In contrast to the recommended workflow I reserved a free partition for swap. After booting the system from the encrypted root device I used the reserved partiton to create an encrypted swap partition with Yast. Yast did this and inserted the following lines to the respective files: /etc/crypttab cr_sda5 /dev/sda5 none luks /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/cr_sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 During boot I get prompted for the password. Entering the correct one shows "Succesful." of LUKS. But then "Activating swap" fails. When the system has come up there is no device node "cr_sda5" in /dev/mapper. Besides a popup window appears asking me to enter the key for this partition again. After doing so a device node "luks..." appears in /dev/mapper on which you can activate swap. CONCLUSION/PROBLEM IN SHORT: The script "boot.crypto" or whichever is responsible asks for the luks-password of the encrypted partition during boot but the appropriate device node in /dev/mapper does not get created. -- 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.
