Booted from a USB stick - tested with both Leap 42.1 and Tumbleweed In the partitioner, I clicked on encrypted LVM, btrfs for the root filesystem, and snapshots were ticked This results in a system with the following partition configuration /dev/sda1 156MB FAT mounted as /boot/efi /dev/sda2 400MB btrfs mounted as /boot
Why is there a /boot partition? I don't get that on my testsystem in the office. Of course, with an extra /boot partition, this will not work. Independent of, if LVM is encrypted or not.
When / is encrypted one needs a plain /boot partition so the boot loader can load the kernel and initrd. Otherwise the kernel would be within the encrypted partition ie unreachable for grub. Also, all snapshots are obviously within the encrypted partition. So grub cannot access them. Therefore with the current way of doing things I fail to see how one can have both encryption and a list of snapshots in grub. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
