Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #314850, revision 3 Title: Ability to create encrypted partitions without using LVM openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Maciej Pilichowski (truemacias) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: With no LVM OS installer is too strict when it comes to choose what partitions can be encrypted. From technical POV only /boot partition really has to be left not encrypted but for the rest -- as root, /var, /usr it can be done. So please provide this option in installer. Current lack of support is strange and limits power of the Linux capabilities. + Discussion: + #1: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2013-02-27 16:28:41) + I have to concur. There is nothing that would prohibit root encryption; + that is, if you create the crypto volume "behind yast's back", using, + for example, the shell that is on tty2, it all works out. It is a bit + of manual labor doing cryptsetup, mkfs, and filling in + /mnt/etc/cryptotab, but it does work such that, once the machine boots + the installed system for the first time, it works from the get-go. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314850
