PM should show layers explicitly, so there would be no ambiguity. If I add LVM on top of something I would like to be 100% sure, what layer I am binding to -- physical layer or encryption layer. You can look even on graph of layers in PM which is technically incorrect (consider case: partition -> encryption -> LVM). In graph encryption layer is completely omitted. So, in other words, for such mapping: a) partition -> LVM b) partition -> encryption -> LVM graph is identical (bug). -- 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.
