For people needing such a setup encrypted LVM should be used. -- 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.

I would suggest to improve documentation then to highlight this limitation since it wasn't obvious for me coming from other distributions. Also possibly maybe it is worth to turn this into RFE since this functionality is available in all other major distributions I have tested and might be desired in openSuse as well. I was looking for a new distribution and this was critical feature for me and because of lack of it I couldn't recommend to go with openSuse. -- 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.
