[opensuse-factory] Changes in mounting encrypted partitions?
Hello, I'm using an encrypted /home partition and have a /var -> /home/sys-var/ symlink. This means I need /home mounted early so that /var becomes available. Therefore, I'm using the "initrd" flag in /etc/crypttab: cr_home /dev/md1 none initrd In the past (13.1 and Factory some months ago), I was asked for the /home passphrase a second after grub in text mode. Since some weeks (sorry, I don't remember the exact date), the system starts booting and asks for the passphrase after maybe 20 seconds, with a nice plymouth input field (which is partly displayed outside of my screen, probably caused by using a laptop + additional screen). A related issue could be that plymouth just uses a black background instead of the nice boot screen I'd expect. So the main question is: Is asking for the passphrase later (especially when the "initrd" flag is specified) an intentional change or a bug? Bonus points if someone can tell me why plymouth doesn't display a nice picture and displays the passphrase input field partly off-screen ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Wie behebt man wohl das Problem einer vollen Mailbox?

I'll just grab one of the bonus points :) http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/2014-10/msg00033.html It's also valid for Factory.

Hi, dracut ignores "initrd". Use add_device= in dracut.conf instead (at least in 13.2 + Factory). Regards, Hendrik -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
